Inverse restricted sumset conjecture at 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 mp<hmh2+1m\leq p<hm-h^2+1. Inverse restricted sumset conjecture. The restricted hh-fold sumset has size pp if and only if AA is contained in a coset of a subgroup HGH\leq G with H=p|H|=p. This is the second inverse problem paralleling the known unrestricted results and remains open.
