On products of sets of natural density one

In a previous work, Bettin, Koukoulopoulos, and Sanna prove that if two sets of natural numbers $A$ and $B$ have natural density $1$, then their product set $A \cdot B := \{ab : a \in A, b \in B\}$ also has natural density $1$. They also provide an effective rate and pose the question of determining the optimal rate. We make progress on this question by constructing a set $A$ of density 1 such that $A\cdot A$ has a ''large'' complement.

Abstract

In a previous work, Bettin, Koukoulopoulos, and Sanna prove that if two sets of natural numbers $A$ and $B$ have natural density $1$, then their product set $A \cdot B := \{ab : a \in A, b \in B\}$ also has natural density $1$. They also provide an effective rate and pose the question of determining the optimal rate. We make progress on this question by constructing a set $A$ of density 1 such that $A\cdot A$ has a ''large'' complement.
