Abstract

N. Hindman, I. Leader, and D. Strauss proved that it is consistent that there is a finite colouring of R so that no infinite sumset X + X is monochromatic. Our aim in this paper is to prove a consistency result in the opposite direction: we show that, under certain set-theoretic assumptions, for any finite colouring c of R there is an infinite X ⊆ R so that c ↾ X + X is constant.
