Thin subsets of groups

Abstract

For a group GG and a natural number mm, a subset AA of GG is called mm-thin if, for each finite subset FF of GG, there exists a finite subset KK of GG such that FgAm|Fg\cap A|\leqslant m for every gGKg\in G\setminus K. We show that each mm-thin subset of a group GG of cardinality n\aleph_n, n=0,1,...n= 0,1,... can be partitioned into mn+1\leqslant m^{n+1} 1-thin subsets. On the other side, we construct a group GG of cardinality ω\aleph_\omega and point out a 2-thin subset of GG which cannot be finitely partitioned into 1-thin subsets.
