Abstract:
It is proved that for an arbitrary subgroup $R\subseteq\mathbb Z/p\mathbb Z$ and any distinct nonzero elements $\mu_1,\dots,\mu_k$ we have
$$
\bigl|R\cap(R+\mu_1)\cap\dots\cap(R+\mu_k)\bigr|
\ll_k|R|^{{1}/{2}+\alpha_k}
$$
under the condition that $1\ll_k|R|\ll_kp^{1-\beta_k}$, where $\{\alpha_k\}$, $\{\beta_k\}$ are some
sequences of positive numbers such that $\alpha_k,\beta_k\to0$ as $k\to\infty$. Furthermore, it is shown that the inequality $|R\pm R|\gg|R|^{5/3}\log^{-1/2}|R|$ holds for any subgroup $R$ such that $|R|\ll p^{1/2}$.
