چکیده

Every locally maximal product-free set S in a finite group G satisfies G=S∪SS∪S−1S∪SS−1∪S−−√, where SS={xy∣x,y∈S}, S−1S={x−1y∣x,y∈S}, SS−1={xy−1∣x,y∈S} and S−−√={x∈G∣x2∈S}. To better understand sets, Bertram asked whether every abelian satisfy |S−−√|≤2|S|. This question was recently answered the negation by current author. Here, we improve some results on structures sizes of groups terms their sets. A consequence our is classification that contain sets size 4, continuing work Street, Whitehead, Giudici Hart containing small sizes. We also obtain partial arbitrary conclude with conjecture 4 problem as well an open general case.

Locally maximal product - free sets of size 3

Let G be a group, and S a non-empty subset of G. Then S is product-free if ab / ∈ S for all a, b ∈ S. We say S is locally maximal product-free if S is product-free and not properly contained in any other product-free set. A natural question is what is the smallest possible size of a locally maximal product-free set in G. The groups containing locally maximal product-free sets of sizes 1 and 2 w...

Groups whose locally maximal product - free sets are complete

Let G be a finite group and S a subset of G. Then S is product-free if S ∩ SS = ∅, and complete if G∗ ⊆ S ∪ SS. A product-free set is locally maximal if it is not contained in a strictly larger product-free set. If S is product-free and complete then S is locally maximal, but the converse does not necessarily hold. Street and Whitehead [11] defined a group G as filled if every locally maximal p...

On a conjecture of Street and Whitehead on locally maximal product-free sets

Let S be a non-empty subset of a group G. We say S is product-free if S ∩ SS = ∅, and S is locally maximal if whenever T is product-free and S ⊆ T , then S = T . Finally S fills G if G∗ ⊆ S t SS (where G∗ is the set of all non-identity elements of G), and G is a filled group if every locally maximal product-free set in G fills G. Street and Whitehead [8] investigated filled groups and gave a cl...

THE MAXIMAL DENSITY OF PRODUCT-FREE SETS IN Z/nZ

This paper studies the maximal size of product-free sets in Z/nZ. These are sets of residues for which there is no solution to ab ≡ c (mod n) with a, b, c in the set. In a previous paper we constructed an infinite sequence of integers (ni)i≥1 and product-free sets Si in Z/niZ such that the density |Si|/ni → 1 as i → ∞, where |Si| denotes the cardinality of Si. Here we obtain matching, up to con...

Hyperbolic Sets That are Not Locally Maximal

This papers addresses the following topics relating to the structure of hyperbolic sets: First, hyperbolic sets that are not contained in locally maximal hyperbolic sets. Second, the existence of a Markov partition for a hyperbolic set. We construct new examples of hyperbolic sets which are not contained in locally maximal hyperbolic sets. The first example is robust under perturbations and can...
