    Abstract

    Motivated by a question of S\'ark\"ozy, we study the gaps in the product
    sequence $\B=\A ... \A=\{b_n=a_ia_j, a_i,a_j\in \A\}$ when $\A$ has upper
    Banach density $\alpha>0$. We prove that there are infinitely many gaps
    $b_{n+1}-b_n\ll \alpha^{-3}$ and that for $t\ge2$ there are infinitely many
    $t$-gaps $b_{n+t}-b_{n}\ll t^2\alpha^{-4}$. Furthermore we prove that these
    estimates are best possible.

    We also discuss a related question about the cardinality of the quotient set
    $\A/\A=\{a_i/a_j, a_i,a_j\in \A\}$ when $\A\subset\{1,..., N\}$ and
    $|\A|=\alpha N$.

  2. Intersective polynomials and the primes.

    Abstract

    Intersective polynomials are polynomials in $\Z[x]$ having roots every
    modulus. For example, $P_1(n)=n^2$ and $P_2(n)=n^2-1$ are intersective
    polynomials, but $P_3(n)=n^2+1$ is not. The purpose of this note is to deduce,
    using results of Green-Tao \cite{gt-chen} and Lucier \cite{lucier}, that for
    any intersective polynomial $h$, inside any subset of positive relative density
    of the primes, we can find distinct primes $p_1, p_2$ such that $p_1-p_2=h(n)$
    for some integer $n$.

  3. Green-Tao theorem in function fields.

    Abstract

    We adapt the proof of the Green-Tao theorem on arithmetic progressions in
    primes to the setting of polynomials over a finite field, to show that for
    every $k$, the irreducible polynomials in $\mathbf{F}_q[t]$ contain
    configurations of the form $\{f+ Pg : \d(P)<k \}, g \neq 0$.
