A strong sum-product "for translates" in finite fields

In the course of some recent research, I've sketched out a proof of the following result. My basis question is: is the result interesting? Proposition There exists an absolute constant $c$ such ...

A new combinatorial problem for finite groups

In a recent preprint arXiv:1811.10503, I proved that if $a_1,\ldots,a_n$ are distinct elements of a torsion-free additive abelian group $G$, then there is a permutation $\pi\in S_n$ such that all ...

Almost subgroups of $\mathbb S^1$

Suppose $X\subset \mathbb S^1$ is a finite subset of the group $\mathbb S^1$ such that $|X+X|<(1+c )|X|$ for a sufficiently small $c\in(0,1)$. I believe that in such case there exists a subgroup $G=...

Sidon sets in finite groups

Suppose $G$ is a group, $S \subset G$. Let’s call $S$ a Sidon subset iff $\forall$ quadruples $(a, b, c, d)$ of distinct elements of $S$ we have $ab \neq cd$ (named after Simon Sidon who studied such ...

Minimum number of solutions in a system of equalities and non-equalities

Let $k<N$ and $P_1, ..., P_{2k+1}, \lambda_1, ..., \lambda_k$ be elements of a finite group $G$ of size $N$. Find the minimum number of solution of the system $$P_{2i} + P_{2i+1} = \lambda_i, \...
