Abstract
Let be rational functions such that and the constant function are linearly independent over , we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of the three term rational function progressions of the form in subsets of . The main new ingredient is an algebraic geometry version of PET induction that bypasses Weyl's differencing. This answers a question of Bourgain and Chang.
