Asymptotic formula for sum-free sets in abelian groups

Number Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Let A be a subset of a finite abelian group G. We say that A is sum-free if there is no solution of the equation x + y = z, with x, y, z belonging to the set A. Let SF(G) denotes the set of all sum-free subets of GG and σ(G)\sigma(G) denotes the number n1(log2SF(G)) n^{-1}(\log_2 |SF(G)|) . In this article we shall improve the error term in the asymptotic formula of σ(G)\sigma(G) which was obtained recently by Ben Green and Ruzsa. The methods used are a slight refinement of methods developed by Ben Green and Ruzsa.
