On tripling constant of multiplicative subgroups

Abstract

We prove that any multiplicative subgroup G of the prime field f_p with |G| < p^{1/2} satisfies |3G| \gg |G|^2 / \log |G|. Also, we obtain a bound for the multiplicative energy of any nonzero shift of G, namely E^* (G+x) \ll |G|^2 log |G|, where x is an arbitrary nonzero residue.
