Bounds for monochromatic solutions to $\{x+y,xy\}$
Ben Green, Mehtaab Sawhney·2025-11-12·via math.CO updates on arXiv.org
Let $r$ be a sufficiently large positive integer, and let $N \ge \exp\exp(r^{50})$. Then any $r$-colouring of $[N]$ contains a monochromatic copy of $\{x+y,xy\}$ with $x > y > 2$.
