Rohrbach's conjecture asserts that, for each positive integer , every finite group
has a subset
with
and
, where
depends only on
(Rohrbach 1937). Here
consists of ordered products of exactly
elements of
, with repetition allowed. The
exponent
is optimal because
.
Yang (2026) proved the conjecture for all finite groups, without an Abelian hypothesis. More generally, there is an absolute constant such that, for every
,
, and nonnegative real
, ...,
with sum 1, there are subsets
satisfying
,
, and
for
. Consequently
is permitted. The constant is not asserted to be
sharp.
