Arithmetic progressions (11B25) Length, area, volume, other geometric measure theory (28A75)

Abstract: It is known that if a subset of $mathbbR$ has positive Lebesgue measure, then it contains arbitrarily long finite arithmetic progressions. We prove that this result does not extend to infinite arithmetic progressions in the following sense: for each $lambda$ in $[0,1)$, we construct a subset of $mathbbR$ that intersects every interval of unit length in a set of measure at least $lambda$, but that does not contain any infinite arithmetic progression.
