Abstract: In 1978, Nathanson obtained several results on sumsets contained in infinite sets of integers. Later the author investigated how big a Hilbert cube avoiding a given {\it infinite} sequence of integers can be.

In the present talk, we show that an additive Hilbert cube, in {\it prime fields} of sufficiently large dimension, always meets certain kinds of arithmetic sets, namely, product sets and reciprocal sets of sumsets satisfying certain technical conditions.
