Popis: The isoperimetric method is often useful for proving results regarding sumsets. Here, we introduce the notion of a hyper-atom into the method, which overcomes a previous weakness when dealing with atoms that are cosets. To show the utility of this new object, we give a new isoperimetric proof of the cornerstone of classical critical pair theory: The Kemperman Structure Theorem, proved in its so-called “dual” formulation.
