Folkman's theorem and the primes
Abstract
We provide two new proofs of the infinitude of prime numbers, using the additive Ramsey-theoretic result known as Folkman's theorem (alternatively, one can think of these proofs as using Hindman's theorem). This adds to the existing literature deriving the infinitude of primes from Ramsey-type theorems.
