Inverse problems of additive number theory, including sumsets (11P70) Field extensions (12F99)

Abstract: Let $KsubsetL$ be a commutative field extension. Given $K$-subspaces $A,B$ of $L$, we consider the subspace $<AB>$ spanned by the product set $AB=abmidainA,binB$. If $di{m}_{K}A=r$ and $di{m}_{K}B=s$, how small can the dimension of $<AB>$ be? In this paper we give a complete answer to this question in characteristic 0, and more generally for separable extensions. The optimal lower bound on $di{m}_K<AB>$ turns out, in this case, to be provided by the numerical function ${\displaystyle }$ kappa_{K,L}(r,s) = min_{h} (lceil r/h ceil + lceil s/h ceil -1)h, ${\displaystyle }$ where $h$ runs over the set of $K$-dimensions of all finite-dimensional intermediate fields $KsubsetHsubsetL$. This bound is closely related to one appearing in additive number theory.
