| Abstract: |
|---|
| In a series of papers in the late 1970s, Sarkozy employed the circle method to answer questions of Lovasz and Erdos, the qualitative versions of which state that any set of natural numbers of positive upper density necessarily contains two distinct elements which differ by a perfect square, as well as two elements which differ by one less than a prime number. Here we discuss quantitative improvements and extensions of these theorems, including my thesis work and joint work with Mariah Hamel and Neil Lyall. |
