Szemerédi’s theorem


Let k be a positive integer and let δ>0. There exists a positive integer N=N(k,δ) such that every subset of {1,2,,N} of size (http://planetmath.org/Cardinality) δN contains an arithmetic progressionPlanetmathPlanetmath of length k.

The case k=3 was first proved by Roth[4]. His method did not seem to extend to the case k>3. Using completely different ideas Szemerédi proved the case k=4 [5], and the general case of an arbitrary k [6].

The best known bounds for N(k,δ) are

ec(log1δ)k-1N(k,δ)22δ-22k+9,

where the lower boundMathworldPlanetmath is due to Behrend[1] (for k=3) and Rankin[3], and the upper bound is due to Gowers[2].

For k=3 a better upper bound was obtained by Bourgain

N(3,δ)cδ-2e256δ-2.
