Sumset bounds from the Freiman dimension #
Let A and B be finite subsets of a commutative monoid with B nonempty and |B| ≤ |A|, and
let f be a Freiman isomorphism of order 2 from A ∪ B onto a subset of ℝ^r of affine
dimension r. Then f sends A and B to sets A' and B' with |A'| = |A|, |B'| = |B| and
|A' + B'| = |A + B|, and A' + B' has affine dimension at least r - 1. Ruzsa's theorem then
gives |A| + ∑ t ∈ {1, …, |B| - 1}, min (r - 1) (|A| - t) ≤ |A + B|. A Freiman model in ℚ^r is
one in ℝ^r, so this holds when r ≥ 1 is the Freiman dimension of A ∪ B.
For A = B = X the model f(X) + f(X) has affine dimension r, and the asymmetric form of
Freiman's lemma gives (r + 1) * |X| - r * (r + 1) / 2 ≤ |X + X|. If |X + X| ≤ κ * |X|, then
r ≤ 2 * κ - 1, so r * (r + 1) / 2 ≤ κ * (2 * κ - 1) and r ≤ κ - 1 + κ * (2 * κ - 1) / |X|.
