KYY's multiplicative decomposition conjecture for shifted subgroups
KYY's multiplicative decomposition conjecture for shifted subgroups
Let be fixed, let be a sufficiently large prime power with , and let be the multiplicative subgroup of index . For subsets , write . KYY's conjecture. For every , the set has no nontrivial multiplicative decomposition; equivalently, there are no subsets with such that
This is the proposed generalization of Sárközy's shifted-squares conjecture from fixed-index subgroups in finite fields; the supplied material gives no resolution, and the current paper's abstract instead presents the corresponding result as proved for every proper multiplicative subgroup.
