Small-sum pairs in abelian groups

Reza Akhtar, Paul Larson (2010)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let G be an abelian group and A , B two subsets of equal size k such that A + B and A + A both have size 2 k - 1 . Answering a question of Bihani and Jin, we prove that if A + B is aperiodic or if there exist elements a A and b B such that a + b has a unique expression as an element of A + B and a + a has a unique expression as an element of A + A , then A is a translate of B . We also give an explicit description of the various counterexamples which arise when neither condition holds.

Some additive applications of the isoperimetric approach

Yahya O. Hamidoune (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let G be a group and let X be a finite subset. The isoperimetric method investigates the objective function | ( X B ) X | , defined on the subsets X with | X | k and | G ( X B ) | k , where X B is the product of X by B .In this paper we present all the basic facts about the isoperimetric method. We improve some of our previous results and obtain generalizations and short proofs for several known results. We also give some new applications.Some of the results obtained here will be used in coming papers to improve Kempermann structure...

Some problems in number theory that arise from group theory.

Alexander Moretó (2007)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

In this expository paper, we present several open problerns in number theory that have arisen while doing research in group theory. These problems are on arithmetical functions or partitions. Solving some of these problems would allow to solve some open problem in group theory.[Proceedings of the Primeras Jornadas de Teoría de Números (Vilanova i la Geltrú (Barcelona), 30 June - 2 July 2005)].

Some results on the recognizability of the linear groups over the binary field

Mohammad Reza Darafsheh, Yaghoub Farjami, M. Khademi, Ali Reza Moghaddamfar (2005)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this paper, we first find the set of orders of all elements in some special linear groups over the binary field. Then, we will prove the characterizability of the special linear group PSL ( 13 , 2 ) using only the set of its element orders.
