Rudin's Conjecture

Number Theory

Rudin's conjecture, in additive combinatorics and elementary number theory, concerns an upper bound for the number of squares in finite arithmetic progressions. It was first stated by Walter Rudin in his 1960 paper Trigonometric Series with Gaps, and has applications in the theory of trigonometric series.
