Description

Szemeredi proved that any subset of the integers with positive upper density contains arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. Subsequently, Szemeredi's theorem was generalized to the polynomial and multidimensional settings. We will discuss finding the progressions involving rational functions via Fourier analysis and algebraic geometry.
