Xuancheng Shao

Short summary

A new inequality, $|A+A| imes |A imes A| o rac{|A|^2}{|A|^{1/2}}$, is proven for dense subsets A of finite fields, establishing the optimal constant.

Key points

  • A new inequality is proven for dense subsets A of finite fields (where |A| > q^(1/2)).
  • The inequality states $|A+A| imes |A imes A| o rac{|A|^2}{|A|^{1/2}}$.
  • The optimal constant in this inequality is determined.
  • The proof uses a structural result for sumsets of dense subsets.
  • This structural result is established via a regularity lemma in general finite abelian groups.

Abstract

Abstract Let be a finite field of prime order and let be a subset. In the dense regime when for some , we determine the optimal constant in the inequality The proof relies on a structural result for sumsets of dense subsets, established via a regularity lemma in general finite abelian groups.
