AbstractSets of independence are studied for compact abelian hypergroups and they are used, along with Riesz products, to investigate lacunarity questions on the dual object. It is shown that bounded Stechkin sets are always Sidon and that every bounded infinite subset of the dual contains an infinite Sidon set which is also a Λ set. Independent sets are shown to always be Sidon and a necessary condition for Sidonicity is provided. A result of Pisier is used to show that for compact non-abelian groups Sidon and central Λ are equivalent. Several applications are provided, primarily to questions regarding lacunarity on compact groups.

Abstract Extending a result by Alon, Linial, and Meshulam to abelian groups, we prove that if G is a finite abelian group of exponent m and S is a sequence of elements of G such that any subsequence of S consisting of at least $$|S| - m\ln |G|$$ elements generates G, then S is an additive basis of G . We also prove that the additive span of any l generating sets of G contains a coset of a subgroup of size at least $$|G{|^{1 - c{ \in ^l}}}$$ for certain c=c(m) and $$ \in = \in (m) < 1$$ ; we use the probabilistic method to give sharper values of c(m) and $$ \in (m)$$ in the case when G is a vector space; and we give new proofs of related known results.

AbstractFor any n, in the set of n-vertex trees such that any two leaves have no common adjacent vertex, we describe the trees with the smallest number of maximal independent sets.
