Additive structure in convex translates

Combinatorics 2023-02-28 v1

Abstract

Let P\mathcal{P} be a set of points in the plane, and S\mathcal{S} a strictly convex set of points. In this note, we show that if P\mathcal{P} contains many translates of S\mathcal{S}, then these translates must come from a generalized arithmetic progression of low dimension. We also discuss an application to the unit distance conjecture.
