Abstract: Let $1<p<infty$, $peq2$. We prove that if $dgeq{d}_p$ is sufficiently large, and $Asubs{R}^d$ is a measurable set of positive upper density then there exists $l{a}_0=l{a}_0(A)$ such for all $lageql{a}_0$ there are $x,yin{R}^d$ such that $x,x+y,x+2ysubsA$ and $|y{|}_p=la$, where $||y|{|}_p=(su{m}_i|y_i{|}^p{)}^{1/p}$ is the $l^p(mathbb{R}^d)$-norm of a point $y=(y_1,ldots,y_d)in{R}^d$. This means that dense subsets of $R^d$ contain 3-term progressions of all sufficiently large gaps when the gap size is measured in the $l^p$-metric. This statement is known to be false in the Euclidean $l^2$-metric as well as in the $l^1$ and $el{l}^{infty}$-metrics. One of the goals of this note is to understand this phenomenon. A distinctive feature of the proof is the use of multilinear singular integral operators, widely studied in classical time-frequency analysis, in the estimation of forms counting configurations.
