Review text

A subset \(S\) of the natural numbers is said to have no sum-intersective property if there is a set \(A\) with lower density \(1/2\) and \(A+A\) is disjoint from \(S\). In this paper the author shows that if the counting function of \(S\) satisfies \(S(n)=o(\log n)\) then \(S\) has no sum-intersective property. Moreover, it is shown that the result is best possible. Along the lines, a question by Erdős about the sum-intersective property of ``residues regular sets is answered. The proofs make use of the distribution of \((\alpha n)\) mod 1, Parseval's formula and Dirichlet's approximation theorem.
