Abstract: Let $G$ be a unique product group, i.e., for any two finite subsets $A$ and $B$ of $G$ there exists $xinG$ which can be uniquely expressed as a product of an element of $A$ and an element of $B$. We prove that, if $C$ is a finite subset of $G$ containing the identity element such that $langleCangle$ is not abelian, then for all subsets $B$ of $G$ with $|B|geq7$, $|BC|geq|B|+|C|+2$. Also, we prove that if $C$ is a finite subset containing the identity element of a torsion-free group $G$ such that $|C|=3$ and $langleCangle$ is not abelian, then for all subsets $B$ of $G$ with $|B|geq7$, $|BC|geq|B|+5$. Moreover, if $langleCangle$ is not isomorphic to the Klein bottle group, i.e., the group with the presentation $langlex,y;|;xyx=yangle$, then for all subsets $B$ of G with $|B|geq5$, $|BC|geq|B|+5$. The support of an element $alpha=su{m}_{xinG}alph{a}_{x}x$ a group algebra $F[G]$ ($F$ is any field), denoted by $supp(alpha)$, is the set $xinG;|;alph{a}_{x}eq0$. By the latter result, we prove that if $$ for some non-zero $$ such that $|supp(alpha)|=3$, then $$. Also, we prove that if $$ for some $$ such that $|supp(alpha)|=3$, then |supp(alpha)|geq 10$. These results improve a part of results in Schweitzer [J. Group Theory, 16 (2013), no. 5, 667-693] and Dykema et al. [Exp. Math., 24 (2015), 326-338] to arbitrary fields, respectively.
