Abstract

We examine the possibility of establishing the existence of a compact subset E of ℝ such that E–E contains a non-degenerate interval and the semigroup generated by E has measure zero. We show that the existence of such an E is equivalent to the existence of a sequence of difference-covers that are not k-sum-covers for each k∈ℕ, and, further, is equivalent to the existence of an asymmetric maximal Raikov system.
