In their seminal 2012 paper, Elekes and Szabó found that a certain weak combinatorial non-expansion property of an algebraic relation suffices to trigger the group configuration theorem, showing that only (approximate subgroups of) algebraic groups can be responsible for it. I will discuss some more recent variations and elaborations on this result, focusing on the case of ternary relations on varieties of dimension >1.
