Lev and Sonn's difference-set conjecture for finite-field squares
Let be a prime, and let denote the set of nonzero squares in . Lev and Sonn's conjecture. For all sufficiently large primes , there is no subset such that
Kalmynin resolved this difference-set conjecture and proved a generalization for proper multiplicative subgroups of prime fields, so the claim is no longer open.
