Title of TalkUnit-connected pseudo-arithmetic super sets in the Gaussian Integers
AbstractA set is pseudo-arithmetic if it has a difference which divides all other differences. A set is a pseudo-arithmetic super set if every subset is a pseudo-arithmetic set. Every pseudo-arithmetic super set can be contracted to have a unit difference, so the classification of pseudo-arithmetics super sets in Z[i] starts with the units. We give a complete classification of the unit-connected pseudo-arithmetic super sets in Z[i], and discuss which are maximal, which are bounded, and which may be extended.
