Abstract

We give an affirmative answer to Owings's sumset question: for any 2-coloring of natural numbers, there is an infinite B⊆ℕ such that B+B is monochromatic. More generally, for every m,ℓ∈ℕ and every 2-coloring of ℕ, there is an infinite B⊆ℕ such that (m+ℓ)B∪\mx+ℓ y:x,y∈ B, x<y\ is monochromatic.
