Abstract:In 1994 Dias da Silva and Hamidoune solved a long-standing open problem of Erd?s and Heilbronn using the structure of cyclic spaces for derivatives on Grassmannians and the representation theory of symmetric groups. They proved that for any subset AA of the pp-element group Z/pZZ/pZ (where pp is a prime), at least min{p,m|A|−m2+1}min{p,m|A|m2+1} different elements of the group can be written as the sum of mm different elements of AA. In this note we present an easily accessible simplified version of their proof for the case m=2m=2, and explain how the method can be applied to obtain the corresponding inverse theorem.
