چکیده

We note a link between combinatorial results of Bollobás and Leader concerning sumsets in the grid, the Brunn-Minkowski theorem and a result of Freiman and Bilu concerning the structure of sets A ⊆ Z with small doubling. Our main result is the following. If ε > 0 and if A is a finite nonempty subset of a torsion-free abelian group with |A + A| 6 K|A|, then A may be covered by e O(1) progressions of dimension ⌊log 2 K + ε⌋ and size at most |A|.

Set Addition in Boxes and the Freiman-bilu Theorem

Suppose that A is a subset of the box Q = Q(L1, . . . , Ld) := d ∏ i=1 {0, 1, . . . , Li − 1} with |A| = αL1 . . . Ld, where L1 > L2 > . . . > Ld > 1 are integers. We prove that if α > (d/Ld) 1/2

An Introduction to Additive Combinatorics

This is a slightly expanded write-up of my three lectures at the Additive Combinatorics school. In the first lecture we introduce some of the basic material in Additive Combinatorics, and in the next two lectures we prove two of the key background results, the Freiman-Ruzsa theorem and Roth’s theorem for 3-term arithmetic progressions. Lecture I: Introductory material 1. Basic Definitions. 2. I...

On Sumsets and Convex Hull

One classical result of Freiman gives the optimal lower bound for the cardinality of A + A if A is a d-dimensional finite set in R. Matolcsi and Ruzsa have recently generalized this lower bound to |A+ kB| if B is d-dimensional, and A is contained in the convex hull of B. We characterize the equality case of the Matolcsi–Ruzsa bound. The argument is based partially on understanding triangulation...

A counterexample to a strong variant of the Polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture in Euclidean space

The Polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture is one of the central open problems in additive combinatorics. It speculates tight quantitative bounds between combinatorial and algebraic notions of approximate subgroups. In this note, we restrict our attention to subsets of Euclidean space. In this regime, the original conjecture considers approximate algebraic subgroups as the set of lattice points in...
