Group topologies on integers and S-unit equations

2019 
A sequence of integers $ \{ s_n \}_{n \in \mathbb{N}} $ is called a T-sequence if there exists a Hausdorff group topology on $ \mathbb{Z} $ such that $ \{ s_n \}_{n \in \mathbb{N}} $ converges to zero. For every finite set of primes $ S $ we build a Hausdorff group topology on $ \mathbb{Z} $ such that every growing sequence of $ S $-integers converges to zero. As a corollary, we solve in the affirmative an open problem by I.V. Protasov and E.G. Zelenuk asking if $ \{ 2^n + 3^n \}_{n \in \mathbb{N}} $ is a T-sequence. Our results rely on a nontrivial number-theoretic fact about $ S $-unit equations.
