Erdős problem 26

Let ANA\subset\mathbb{N} be infinite. Must there exist some k1k\geq 1 such that almost all integers have a divisor of the form a+ka+k for some aAa\in A? The question as posed follows negatively from Davenport–Erdős (1951). The AI result settles Tenenbaum's harder variant, also negatively: there is an infinite AA such that for every k1k\geq 1 the set of multiples of A+kA+k has upper density below 0.340.34.
