β¦ Synopsis
A modified Bose-Chowla construction of sets with distinct sums of k-element subsets is presented. In infinitely many cases it yields sets with a certain multiplicative symmetry. These sets are then used to construct large sets S in certain nonabelian groups with the property that all k-letter words with letters from S are distinct.

A subset S = {s 1 , . . . , s k } of an Abelian group G is called an S t -set of size k if all sums of t different elements in S are distinct. Let s(G) denote the cardinality of the largest S 2 -set in G. Let v(k) denote the order of the smallest Abelian group for which s(G) k. In this article, boun
Improved lower bounds on multiple distinct sums sets are given. Lower bounds for the more general case of multiple difference set of a distinct sum set are considered.
A set A [1, ..., N] is of the type B 2 if all sums a+b, with a b, a, b # A, are distinct. It is well known that the largest such set is of size asymptotic to N 1Γ2 . For a B 2 set A of this size we show that, under mild assumptions on the size of the modulus m and on the difference N 1Γ2 &| A | (the
