Refined bound for sum-free sets in groups of prime order

Number Theory 2014-02-26 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

Improving upon earlier results of Freiman and the present authors, we show that if pp is a sufficiently large prime and AA is a sum-free subset of the group of order pp, such that n:=A>0.318pn:=|A|>0.318p, then AA is contained in a dilation of the interval [n,pn](modp)[n,p-n]\pmod p.
