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 $G$ be an abelian group of torsion $m$ (meaning…

A conjecture of Marton, widely known as the polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture, was recently proved by Gowers, Green, Manners and Tao for any bounded-torsion Abelian group $G$. In this paper we show a few simple modifications that improve…

We settle the Polynomial Freiman--Ruzsa (PFR/Marton) conjecture for the integers and for cyclic groups. More precisely, we show that if $A$ is a finite subset of $\mathbb{Z}$ or $\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}$ with $|A+A| \le K|A|$, then there is…

We study two conjectures in additive combinatorics. The first is the polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture, which relates to the structure of sets with small doubling. The second is the inverse Gowers conjecture for $U^3$, which relates to…

The polynomial Fre\u{\i}man--Ruzsa conjecture is a fundamental open question in additive combinatorics. However, over the integers (or more generally $\mathbb{R}^d$ or $\mathbb{Z}^d$) the optimal formulation has not been fully pinned down.…

Recently Breuillard and Tointon showed that one reasonable formulation of the polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture fails for nonabelian groups. We improve and simplify their construction.

We study a natural analogue of Collatz's Conjecture for polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_2$.

We prove a query complexity variant of the weak polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture in the following form. For any $\epsilon > 0$, a set $A \subset \mathbb{Z}^d$ with doubling $K$ has a subset of size at least $K^{-\frac{4}{\epsilon}}|A|$…

Using various results from extremal set theory (interpreted in the language of additive combinatorics), we prove an asyptotically sharp version of Freiman's theorem in F_2^n: if A in F_2^n is a set for which |A + A| <= K|A| then A is…

Using the recent proof of the polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture over $\mathbb{F}_p^n$ by Gowers, Green, Manners, and Tao, we prove a version of the polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture over function fields. In particular, we prove that if…

We give a new proof of Carlitz-Wan's conjecture, previously proved by Lenstra (1995).Our proofs are natural and intuitive, and shed new insights into the study of exceptional polynomials.

We build a variant of Collatz Conjecture for polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_2$ and we prove that it is solved. By the way, we give several examples.

We show that the Freiman--Ruzsa theorem, characterising finite sets with bounded doubling, leads to an alternative proof of a characterisation of Meyer sets, that is, relatively dense subsets of Euclidean spaces whose difference sets are…

The well--known Freiman--Ruzsa Theorem provides a structural description of a set $A$ of integers with $|2A|\le c|A|$ as a subset of a $d$--dimensional arithmetic progression $P$ with $|P|\le c'|A|$, where $d$ and $c'$ depend only on $c$.…

WITHDRAWN: The proof contains an uncorrectable gap in the proof of theorem 7 on page 11. A proof of the Krzyz conjecture is presented, based on the application of the variational method, as well as on the use of two classical results and…

We prove two polynomial identities which are particular cases of a conjecture arising in the theory of L-functions of twisted Carlitz modules. This conjecture is stated in earlier papers of the second author.

The paper [GLZ] "L-functions of Carlitz modules, resultantal varieties and rooted binary trees" is devoted to a description of some resultantal varieties related to L-functions of Carlitz modules. It contains a conjecture that some of these…

The Rota--Heron--Welsh conjecture (now a theorem of Adiprasito, Huh, and the author) asserts the log-concavity of the characteristic polynomial of matroids. We give an exposition of the Lorentzian polynomial proof following the work of…

We prove the conjecture of Friedlander et al. about sums over Littelmann patterns for the the root system of type $G_2$, which is an analogue of Tokuyama's theorem for root systems of type $A_r$. We use elementary means to show that the…

Let $p$ be a prime. One formulation of the Polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture over $\mathbb{F}_p$ can be stated as follows. If $\phi : \mathbb{F}_p^n \rightarrow \mathbb{F}_p^N$ is a function such that $\phi(x+y) - \phi(x) - \phi(y)$ takes…
