The characterization of groups with singleton maximal-elasticity difference set

Let GG be a finite abelian group with ∣G∣>4|G|>4. Write ρ(G)\rho(G) for its elasticity and let Δρ(G) \Delta_{\rho}(G) be the set of all d∈Nd\in\mathbb N such that, for every k∈Nk\in\mathbb N, there \exists a length set Lk∈L(G)L_k\in\mathcal L(G) that is an almost arithmetic progression with difference dd, length at least kk, and ρ(Lk)=ρ(G) \rho(L_k)=\rho(G). The maximal-elasticity difference-set conjecture. Then

Δρ(G)={1}\Delta_{\rho}(G)=\{1\}

if and only if GG is neither cyclic nor an elementary 22-group. This conjecture seeks a precise group-theoretic characterization of when maximal-elasticity length sets have only difference 11; the supplied text does not state whether it has been proved or disproved.
