Kim–Yip–Yoo's multiplicative irreducibility conjecture for shifted subgroups

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let d≥2d\geq 2 be fixed. Let q≡1(modd)q\equiv 1\pmod d be a sufficiently large prime power, and let GG be the multiplicative subgroup of Fq\mathbb F_q of index dd. For each λ∈Fq∗\lambda\in\mathbb F_q^*, consider the shifted set (G−λ)∖{0}(G-\lambda)\setminus\{0\}. Kim–Yip–Yoo's multiplicative irreducibility conjecture. For every λ∈Fq∗\lambda\in\mathbb F_q^*, the set (G−λ)∖{0}(G-\lambda)\setminus\{0\} has no nontrivial multiplicative decomposition.
