Inverse restricted Erdős–Heilbronn conjecture below the prime threshold

Let GG be an abelian group, let pp be the smallest prime divisor of the order of GG, and let AA be an mm-subset of GG. Assume that mm and hh are positive integers satisfying p>hmh2+1p>hm-h^2+1. Inverse restricted Erdős–Heilbronn conjecture. If hAhA has size hmh2+1hm-h^2+1, then and only then either h=1h=1, AA is an arithmetic progression, or h=2h=2, m=4m=4, and

A={a,a+g1,a+g2,a+g1+g2}A=\{a,a+g_1,a+g_2,a+g_1+g_2\}

for some aAa\in A and g1,g2Gg_1,g_2\in G. This is the restricted-addition analogue of the stated inverse results for unrestricted sumsets and remains open.
