Extremal Chowla sets and their linear analogues: A human-AI mathematical investigation using Co-Scientist
TL;DR
A new extremal invariant related to Chowla sets in finite groups was introduced, revealing insights into their structure and distribution. The study also developed a linear analogue for finite field extensions, providing exact formulas for both contexts.

Key Takeaways
- Understand the structure of Chowla sets in finite groups.
- Apply the derived formulas for cyclic and abelian groups.
- Utilize Co-Scientist for collaborative mathematical exploration.
- Investigate the implications of Chowla subspaces in field extensions.
How It Works
The extremal invariant C(G) is determined by the distribution of element orders in a finite group G. For cyclic groups, the relationship between C(Z/nZ) and φ(n) is established through divisor formulas, revealing how the size of Chowla sets can vary significantly with n.
In finite field extensions, the concept of Chowla subspaces is introduced, where the dimension of the subspace influences the degree of field extensions.
