Inverse restricted sumset conjecture at the prime threshold

About 11 years old · traced to

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 m≤p<hm−h2+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 H≤GH\leq G with ∣H∣=p|H|=p. This is the second inverse problem paralleling the known unrestricted results and remains open.
