Kedlaya-set optimality conjecture for product-free subsets

At least 1 year old · documented by

Let GG be a compact group equipped with its Haar probability measure, and let a Kedlaya set be a set of the form

Kx,B={g∈G:gx∈B and g(B)⊆X∖B},K_{x,B}=\{g\in G: gx\in B\ \text{and}\ g(B)\subseteq X\setminus B\},

where GG acts on a set XX, B⊆XB\subseteq X, and x∈Xx\in X. A measurable subset of GG is product-free if gh∉Agh\notin A for all g,h∈Ag,h\in A. Kedlaya-set optimality conjecture. There exists an absolute constant C>0C>0 such that GG has a Kedlaya set KK for which every measurable product-free subset of GG has Haar measure at most Cμ(K)C\mu(K). This proposes a general optimality principle for the known construction of large product-free sets; whether it holds for every compact group is left open in the source.
