D sets and a Sárközy theorem for countable fields

Abstract

We establish that if ℱ is a countable field of characteristic p, U is a unitary action of ℱℓ on a Hilbert space ℋ, and P is an essential idempotent ultrafilter on ℱ, then for every polynomial r: ℱ → ℱℓ with r(0) = 0 one has (Formula Presented), where Pr is the projection onto the closed subspace (Formula Presented). We then derive combinatorial consequences of this result, including results for sufficiently large finite fields.
