On the density or measure of sets and their sumsets in the integers or the circle (Q2307455)

One can begin with authors' abstract: `` Let \(d(A)\) be the asymptotic density (if it exists) of a sequence of integers \(A\). For any real numbers \(0 \le\alpha\le\beta\le1\), we solve the question of the existence of a sequence \(A\) of positive integers such that \(d(A) =\alpha\) and \(d(A +A) =\beta\). More generally we study the set of \(k\)-tuples \((d(iA))_{1\le i\le k}\) for \(A \subset \mathbb N\). This leads us to introduce subsets defined by diophantine constraints inside a random set of integers known as the set of ``pseudo \(s\)th powers''. We consider similar problems for subsets of the circle \(\mathbb R/ \mathbb Z\), that is, we partially determine the set of \(k\)-tuples \((\mu(iA))_{1\le i\le k}\) for \(A \subset \mathbb R / \mathbb Z\).'' Several auxiliary statements are proven and examples are given. Useful auxiliary notions and statements are recalled. The notions of asymptotic density of a sequence of integers, the lower and the upper asymptotic densities of a sequence of integers, the density of \(A\) inside \( B\) (\(A\subset B \subset \mathbb N\)), etc., are considered. The presented results and proofs are explained. A description of related known results is given with explanations.
