Abstract
We prove a Freiman--Ruzsa-type theorem with polynomial bounds in arbitrary abelian groups with bounded torsion, thereby proving (in full generality) a conjecture of Marton. Specifically, let be an abelian group of torsion (meaning for all ) and suppose that is a non-empty subset of with . Then can be covered by at most translates of a subgroup of of cardinality at most . The argument is a variant of that used in the case in a recent paper of the authors.
