Groups with few maximal sum-free sets

Combinatorics 2018-11-15 v1 Number Theory

Abstract

We show that, in contrast to the integers setting, almost all even order abelian groups GG have exponentially fewer maximal sum-free sets than 2μ(G)/22^{\mu(G)/2}, where μ(G)\mu(G) denotes the size of a largest sum-free set in GG. This confirms a conjecture of Balogh, Liu, Sharifzadeh and Treglown.
