Abstract

Let A,BA, B be subsets of (Z/prZ)2(\mathbb{Z}/p^r\mathbb{Z})^2. In this note, we provide conditions on the densities of AA and BB such that gABp2r|gA-B|\gg p^{2r} for a positive proportion of gSO2(Z/prZ)g\in SO_2(\mathbb{Z}/p^r\mathbb{Z}). The conditions are sharp up to constant factors in the unbalanced case, and the proof makes use of tools from discrete Fourier analysis and results in restriction/extension theory.
