Abstract

Green and Ruzsa recently proved that for any s2s\ge2, any small squaring set AA in a (multiplicative) abelian group, i.e. AA<KA|A\cdot A|<K|A|, has a Freiman ss-model: it means that there exists a group GG and a Freiman ss-isomorphism from AA into GG such that G<f(s,K)A|G|<f(s,K)|A|. In an unpublished note, Green proved that such a result does not necessarily hold in non abelian groups if s64s\ge64. The aim of this paper is improve Green's result by showing that it remains true under the weaker assumption s6s\ge6.
