Sarkozy's problem is a classical problem in additive number
theory, which asks for the size of the largest subset A of
{1,2,...,n} such that the difference set A-A does not contain
a (non-zero) square. I will discuss the history of this problem, some
recent progress that I and several collaborators have
made on it, and our future research plans.
