Review text

It is shown that for every sufficiently large \(m\) there is a set \(A\subset \mathbb{Z}/ m\mathbb{Z}\) such that \(\mathbb{Z}/ m\mathbb{Z}\) is the disjoint union of \(A\) and \(A+A\), and \(A\) is not symmetric. Such sets can be applied to construct sets for which \(| A+A |>| A-A|\).
