Erdős sumset conjecture

In additive combinatorics, the Erdős sumset conjecture is a conjecture which states that if a subset $A$ of the natural numbers $\mathbb {N}$ has a positive upper density then there are two infinite subsets $B$ and $C$ of $\mathbb {N}$ such that $A$ contains the sumset $B+C$ .^[1]^[2] It was posed by Paul Erdős, and was proven in 2019 in a paper by Joel Moreira, Florian Richter and Donald Robertson.^[3]
