Bounds for Matchings in Nonabelian Groups

Combinatorics 2017-02-06 v1

Abstract

We give upper bounds for triples of subsets of a finite group such that the triples of elements that multiply to 1 form a perfect matching. Our bounds are the first to give exponential savings in powers of an arbitrary finite group. Previously, Blasiak-Church-Cohn-Grochow-Naslund-Sawin-Umans gave similar bounds in abelian groups of bounded exponent, and Petrov gave exponential bounds in certain p-groups.
