Restricted Erdős–Heilbronn formula for abelian groups

About 4 years old · traced to

Let GG be an abelian group, and let pp be the smallest prime divisor of the order of GG. For positive integers mm and hh with m≤pm\leq p, write ρ  ^(G,m,h)\rho\hat{\;} (G,m,h) for the minimum size of a restricted hh-fold sumset of an mm-element subset. Restricted Erdős–Heilbronn conjecture.

ρ  ^(G,m,h)=min⁡{p,hm−h2+1}.\rho \hat{\;} (G,m,h)=\min\{p,hm-h^2+1\}.

The formula is known for groups of prime order, while the corresponding statement for general abelian groups is presented as a potential next case and remains open.
