Open problems about sumsets in finite abelian groups: minimum sizes and critical numbers

Number Theory 2017-05-16 v2

Abstract

For a positive integer hh and a subset AA of a given finite abelian group, we let hAhA, h  ^Ah \hat{\;} A, and h±Ah_{\pm}A denote the hh-fold sumset, restricted sumset, and signed sumset of AA, respectively. Here we review some of what is known and not yet known about the minimum sizes of these three types of sumsets, as well as their corresponding critical numbers. In particular, we discuss several new open direct and inverse problems.
