On some properties of accessible sets

From MaRDI portal





A set \(D \subseteq \mathbb{N}\) is called \(r\)-large if every \(r\)-coloring of \(\mathbb{N}\) admits arbitrarily long monochromatic arithmetic progressions \(a,a + d,\ldots ,a + (k-1)d\) with gap \(d\in D\). A set \(D \subseteq \mathbb{N}\) is called \(r\)-accessible if every \(r\)-coloring of \(\mathbb{N}\) admits arbitrarily long monochromatic sequences \(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_k\) with \(x_{i+1}-x_i\in D\). It is known that if \(D \subseteq \mathbb{N}\) is 2-large, then the gaps between elements in \(D\) cannot grow exponentially. In this paper, the author proves that if \(D\) is 2-accessible, then the gaps between elements in D cannot grow much faster than exponentially. In addition, the author shows that the notion of accessibility is equivalent to that of topological recurrence.
