Abstract

If AA is a set of integers having positive upper Banach density and r,s,tr,s,t are nonzero integers whose sum is zero, a theorem of Bergelson and Ruzsa says that the set rA+sA+tA:={ra1+sa2+ta3:aiA}rA+sA+tA:=\{ra_1+sa_2+ta_3:a_i\in A\} contains a Bohr neighborhood of zero. We prove the natural generalization of this result for subsets of countable abelian groups and more summands.
