More on the sum-product problem for integers with few prime factors

preprint2026arXivOpen access

Abstract

We show that if A⊂ZA\subset \mathbb{Z} is a finite set of integers in which every integer is divisible by O(1)O(1) many primes then max⁡(∣A+A∣,∣AA∣)≥∣A∣12/7−o(1)\max(\lvert A+A\rvert,\lvert AA\rvert) \geq \lvert A\rvert^{12/7-o(1)} and, for any m≥2m\geq 2, max⁡(∣mA∣,∣A(m)∣)≥∣A∣23m+13−o(1).\max(\lvert mA\rvert, \lvert A^{(m)}\rvert) \geq \lvert A\rvert^{\frac{2}{3}m+\frac{1}{3}-o(1)}. Finally, we show that if A⊂QA\subset \mathbb{Q} is a finite set of rationals in which the numerator and denominator of every x∈Ax\in A is divisible by O(1)O(1) many primes then ∣A+AA∣≥∣A∣2−o(1)\lvert A+AA\rvert \geq \lvert A\rvert^{2-o(1)}.
