A conjecture on partitions of groups

Group Theory 2014-08-28 v1

Abstract

We conjecture that every infinite group GG can be partitioned into countably many cells G=nωAnG=\bigcup_{n\in\omega}A_n such that cov(AnAn1)=Gcov(A_nA_n^{-1})=|G| for each nωn\in\omega. Here cov(A)=min{X:XG,G=XA}cov(A)=\min\{|X|:X\subseteq G, G=XA\}. We confirm this conjecture for each group of regular cardinality and for some groups (in particular, Abelian) of an arbitrary cardinality.
