In this paper we show that every set A ⊂ ℕ with positive density contains B + C for some pair B, C of infinite subsets of ℕ , settling a conjecture of Erdős. The proof features two different decompositions of an arbitrary bounded sequence into a structured component and a pseudo-random component. Our methods are quite general, allowing us to prove a version of this conjecture for countable amenable groups.
