Title
A Cauchy-Davenport theorem for linear maps
Abstract
We prove a version of the Cauchy-Davenport theorem for general linear maps. For subsets A, B of the finite field \(\mathbb{F}_p \), the classical Cauchy-Davenport theorem gives a lower bound for the size of the sumset A + B in terms of the sizes of the sets A and B. Our theorem considers a general linear map \(L:\mathbb{F}_p^n \to \mathbb{F}_p^m \), and subsets \(A_1 , \ldots A_n \subseteq \mathbb{F}_p\), and gives a lower bound on the size of L(A1 × A2 × … × An) in terms of the sizes of the sets A1, …, An.
