Abstract

An order-preserving Freiman 2-isomorphism is a map ϕ:XR\phi:X \rightarrow \mathbb{R} such that ϕ(a)<ϕ(b)\phi(a) < \phi(b) if and only if a<ba < b and ϕ(a)+ϕ(b)=ϕ(c)+ϕ(d)\phi(a)+\phi(b) = \phi(c)+\phi(d) if and only if a+b=c+da+b=c+d for any a,b,c,dXa,b,c,d \in X. We show that for any AZA \subseteq \mathbb{Z}, if A+AKA|A+A| \le K|A|, then there exists a subset AAA' \subseteq A such that the following holds: AKA|A'| \gg_K |A| and there exists an order-preserving Freiman 2-isomorphism ϕ:A[cA,cA]Z\phi: A' \rightarrow [-c|A|,c|A|] \cap \mathbb{Z} where cc depends only on KK. Several applications are also presented.
