Abstract

Let $p$ be a sufficiently large prime and $\mathcal{A}$ be a sum-free subset of $\mathbb{Z} / p\mathbb{Z}$; improving on a previous result of V. F. Lev, we show that if $|\mathcal{A}|=\mathrm{card}(\mathcal{A}) \gt 0.324 p$, then $\mathcal{A}$ is contained in a dilation of the interval $[|\mathcal{A}|, p-|\mathcal{A}|]$ (mod. $p)$.
