N2 - Given two nonempty subsets A, B of a group G, they are said to form a co-minimal pair if A· B= G, and A′· B⊊ G for any ∅ ≠ A′⊊ A and A· B′⊊ G for any ∅ ≠ B′⊊ B. The existence of co-minimal pairs is a stronger criterion than the existence of minimal complements. In this work, we show several new results about them. The existence and the construction of co-minimal pairs in the integers, with both the subsets A and B (A is not a translate of B) of infinite cardinality was unknown. We show that such pairs exist and give the first explicit construction of these pairs. The constructions also satisfy a number of algebraic properties. Further, we prove that for any d≥ 1, the group Z2 d admits infinitely many automorphisms such that for each such automorphism σ, there exists a subset A of Z2 d such that A and σ(A) form a co-minimal pair.
