Generalized Sárközy conjecture on additive decompositions of multiplicative subgroups
Let be fixed, let be a prime power with , and let be the multiplicative subgroup of index . Generalized Sárközy conjecture. For all sufficiently large such , the subgroup admits no nontrivial additive decomposition. The conjecture generalizes the finite-field square case from prime fields to multiplicative subgroups of fixed index; the source says it is widely believed and notes substantial progress over prime fields, while leaving the general formulation open.
