A bound on the multiplicative energy of a sum set and extremal sum-product problems

Combinatorics 2014-10-07 v1 Number Theory

Abstract

In recent years some near-optimal estimates have been established for certain sum-product type estimates. This paper gives some first extremal results which provide information about when these bounds may or may not be tight. The main tool is a new result which provides a nontrivial upper bound on the multiplicative energy of a sum set or difference set.
