Ernie Croot, Vsevolod F. Lev, Péter Pál Pach

Short summary

Any subset of Z_4^n free of three-term arithmetic progressions has size less than 4^(0.926n).

Key points

  • Subsets of Z_4^n free of three-term arithmetic progressions are quantified.
  • The maximum size of such a set is shown to be less than 4^(cn).
  • The constant c is established as approximately 0.926.
  • This applies to any integer n > 0.

Abstract

We show that for integer $n>0$, any subset $A \subset Z_4^n$ free of three-term arithmetic progressions has size $|A| < 4^{c n}$, with an absolute constant $c \approx 0.926$.
