In 1953 Roth proved that any positive density subset of the integers contains a non-trivial three term arithmetic progression. I will present a recent quantitative improvement for this theorem, give an overview of the main ideas of the proof, and discuss its relation to other recent work in the area. I will also discuss some closely related problems.
