Abstract
We characterize the pairs of sets in an arbitrary (countable or uncountable) discrete abelian group satisfying , where is an arbitrary finitely additive translation-invariant probability measure on , extending M.~Kneser's theorem on Haar measure in compact abelian groups. We then characterize, for an arbitrary F{\o}lner sequence or F{\o}lner net on , those , satisfying , where . This extends Kneser's theorem on lower asymptotic density in . We also generalize theorems of Prerna Bihani and Renling Jin by characterizing pairs , satisfying , where is upper Banach density on .
