Sumsets in quadratic residues

I. D. Shkredov (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

We describe all sets A p which represent the quadratic residues R p in the sense that R = A + A or R = A ⨣ A. Also, we consider the case of an approximate equality R ≈ A + A and R ≈ A ⨣ A and prove that A is then close to a perfect difference set.

The Davenport constant of a box

Alain Plagne (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Given an additively written abelian group G and a set X ⊆ G, we let (X) denote the monoid of zero-sum sequences over X and (X) the Davenport constant of (X), namely the supremum of the positive integers n for which there exists a sequence x₁⋯xₙ in (X) such that i I x i 0 for each non-empty proper subset I of 1,...,n. In this paper, we mainly investigate the case when G is a power of ℤ and X is a box (i.e., a product of intervals of G). Some mixed sets (e.g., the product of a group by a box) are studied...
