Erdős problem 987

Clunie [Cl67] proved that there exists an infinite sequence {zν}\{z_\nu\} on the unit circle with AννA_\nu \le \nu for all ν1\nu \ge 1. Translating zν=e(xν)z_\nu = e(x_\nu), the natural domain of xνx_\nu is the half-open unit interval Ico01\mathrm{Ico}\,0\,1, matching the original [Er64b]/[Cl67] statement (any unit complex number is allowed, including z=1z = 1, i.e. x=0x = 0).

Retained formal statement3 of 10

Liu [Li69] showed that, for any ϵ>0\epsilon > 0, Akk1ϵA_k \gg k^{1 - \epsilon} infinitely often under the additional assumption that there are only a finite number of distinct points. Clunie observed in the Mathscinet review of [Li69] that under this assumption in fact Ak=A_k = \infty infinitely often (the version stated here).

The proof uses `sorry`: part of the argument is written but not proved. Lean accepts the file; it does not accept the theorem.
