Finding large sum-free subsets

Abstract/Media

Zoom Link

I will present a recent result of Bedert that every set of n integers has a sum-free subset of order at least n/3+clog log n. The proof proceeds via Fourier analysis and makes use of many nice concepts in additive combinatorics and number theory. I aim to present the more combinatorial portions of the proof in detail and sketch the remainder.
