Abstract

Let GG be a group and A[1,exp(G)1]A\subseteq [1,\exp(G)-1]. We define the constant CA(G),{\sf C}_A(G), which is the least positive integer \ell such that every sequence over GG of length at least \ell has an AA-weighted consecutive product-one subsequence. In this paper, among other things, we prove that CA(Cn2)=4{\sf C}_A(C_n^2)=4 with A=[1,n1],A=[1,n-1], and C(H×K)=HK{\sf C}(H\times K)=|H||K|, where HH is a finite abelian group and KK is a metacyclic group.
