Abstract
We show that a large multiplicative subgroup of a finite field cannot be decomposed into or nontrivially. We also find new families of multiplicative subgroups that cannot be decomposed as the sum of two sets nontrivially. In particular, our results extensively generalize the results of S\'{a}rk\"{o}zy and Shkredov on the additive decomposition of the set of quadratic residues modulo a prime.
