Finding Product and Sum Patterns in Non-commutative Settings
摘要
Hindman conjectured that for any finite partition of ℕ, there exists a monochromatic set of the form {x,y,x + y,xy}. Recently, Bowen proved this conjecture for all 2-partitions. In this paper, we extend Bowen’s result to semirings (S, +, ·) where S · s is piecewise syndetic for every s ∈ S. To achieve this, we provide a combinatorial proof of a piecewise syndetic generalization of the Bergelson–Glasscock IP
