Abstract

Let d3d \geq 3 be a natural number. We show that for all finite, non-empty sets ARdA \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d that are not contained in a translate of a hyperplane, we have AA(2d2)AOd(A1δ), |A-A| \geq (2d-2)|A| - O_d(|A|^{1- \delta}), where δ>0\delta >0 is an absolute constant only depending on dd. This improves upon an earlier result of Freiman, Heppes and Uhrin, and makes progress towards a conjecture of Stanchescu.
