Additive bases, including sumsets (11B13)

Abstract: Let $G$ be an additive abelian group and let $A,BsubseteqG$ be finite and nonempty. The pair $(A,B)$ is called critical if the sumset $$a in A$and$bin B$$ satisfies $|A+B|<|A|+|B|$. Vosper proved a theorem which characterizes all critical pairs in the special case when $|G|$ is prime. Kemperman generalized this by proving a structure theorem for critical pairs in an arbitrary abelian group. Here we give a new proof of Kemperman's Theorem.
