Abstract

We prove that a sumset of a TE subset of N (these sets can be viewed as “aperiodic” sets) with a set of positive upper density intersects any polynomial sequence. For WM sets (subclass of TE sets) we prove that the intersection has lower Banach density one. In addition we obtain a generalization of the latter result to the case of several polynomials.
