Student life is about serendipitous friendships. It is also about living cheek by jowl with friends and knowing next to nothing about what they spend their days studying. But sometimes those studies can overlap. Luckiest days of their lives?

A structure theorem for sets with doubling 4 + $\delta$

Abstract

A question of Ben Green asks whether every finite set $A$ of integers with doubling constant $K$ must contain a subset $A'$ of comparable size whose doubling is at most $K + o(1)$ due to some explicit algebraic structure on $A'$. This was previously understood in the regime $K < 4 - o(1)$ by work of Eberhard, Green, and Manners, who showed that one can find such a subset $A'$ with density at least $1/2 + o(1)$ inside a long arithmetic progression. In this talk, I will provide a brief survey of this question as well as mention some new progress towards this. This is joint work with Yifan Jing.
