Streszczenie
We give combinatorial characterizations of $\mathrm {IP}$ rich sets ($\mathrm {IP}$ sets that remain $\mathrm {IP}$ upon removal of any set of zero upper Banach density) and D sets (members of idempotent ultrafilters, all of whose members have positive upper Banach density) in $\mathbb Z$. We then show that the family of $\mathrm {IP}$ rich sets strictly contains the family of D sets.
