On sums of sequences of integers. II,III (Q802600)

This is the continuation of the authors' earlier work [Part I, Acta Arith. 44, 73-86 (1984; Zbl 0546.10050)] on the arithmetic nature of numbers of the form \(a+b\), where a,b are taken from certain ''dense'' sequences of integers. Parts II and III contains generalizations and modifications of the problems considered in Part I. Thus the result of Part III is as follows: Let \(N>N_ 0\) and let \({\mathcal A}\), \({\mathcal B}\) be sequences of positive integers such that \(N/2<a\leq N\) and \(N/2<b\leq N\) for \(a\in {\mathcal A}\), \(b\in {\mathcal B}\). If \(A=\sum_{a\in {\mathcal A}}1\), \(B=\sum_{b\in {\mathcal B}}1\), \(AB\gg N^{24/13} \log^{42/13}N,\) then there exist integers \(a\in {\mathcal A}\), \(b\in {\mathcal B}\) and a prime p such that \(p^ 2 | (a+b)\) and \(p^ 2\gg (AB)^{5/2} N^{-4} \log^{- 7}N\).
