On a conjecture of Erdős (2201.10727v1)

Abstract: Let $\mathcal{P}$ denote the set of all primes. In 1950, P. Erd\H{o}s conjectured that if $c$ is an arbitrarily given constant, $x$ is sufficiently large and $a_1,\dots , a_t$ are positive integers with $a_1<a_2<\cdot\cdot\cdot<a_t\leqslant x$ and $t>\log x$, then there exists an integer $n$ so that the number of solutions of $n=p+a_i$ $(p\in \mathcal{P}, 1\le i\le t)$ is greater than $c$. In this note, we confirm this old conjecture of Erd\H{o}s.
