Student Resolves Long-Standing Addition Limit Issue

TL;DR
A graduate student at the University of Oxford, Benjamin Bedert, has solved a long-standing problem about the limits of addition related to sum-free sets, confirming that in any set of integers, there exists a large sum-free subset, advancing understanding in a fundamental area of mathematics originally posed by Paul Erdős in 1965.
