The inverse theory for Gowers uniformity norms is one of the central topics in additive combinatorics and one of the most important aspects of the theory is the question of bounds. In this paper, we prove a quasipolynomial inverse theorem…

We prove quantitative bounds for the inverse theorem for Gowers uniformity norms $\mathsf{U}^5$ and $\mathsf{U}^6$ in $\mathbb{F}_2^n$. The proof starts from an earlier partial result of Gowers and the author which reduces the inverse…

Let $G$ be a finite-dimensional vector space over a prime field $\mathbb{F}_p$ with some subspaces $H_1, \dots, H_k$. Let $f \colon G \to \mathbb{C}$ be a function. Generalizing the notion of Gowers uniformity norms, Austin introduced…

We state and prove a quantitative inverse theorem for the Gowers uniformity norm $U^3(G)$ on an arbitrary finite abelian group $G$; the cases when $G$ was of odd order or a vector space over ${\mathbf F}_2$ had previously been established…

A very useful fact in additive combinatorics is that analytic expressions that can be used to count the number of structures of various kinds in subsets of Abelian groups are robust under quasirandom perturbations, and moreover that…

The Gowers U^3 norm is one of a sequence of norms used in the study of arithmetic progressions. If G is an abelian group and A is a subset of G then the U^3(G) of the characteristic function 1_A is useful in the study of progressions of…

For every natural number k we prove a decomposition theorem for bounded measurable functions on compact abelian groups into a structured part, a quasi random part and a small error term. In this theorem quasi randomness is measured with the…

This paper gives the first quantitative bounds for the inverse theorem for the Gowers $U^4$-norm over $\mathbb{F}_p^n$ when $p=2,3$. We build upon earlier work of Gowers and Mili\'cevi\'c who solved the corresponding problem for $p\geq 5$.…

We establish the \emph{inverse conjecture for the Gowers norm over finite fields}, which asserts (roughly speaking) that if a bounded function $f: V \to \C$ on a finite-dimensional vector space $V$ over a finite field $\F$ has large Gowers…

We prove a nearly polynomial inverse theorem for the Gowers $U^d$ norm, over finite fields of non-small characteristic, for polynomials of degree $d+1$. The case of degree $d$ was very recently settled by Mili\'{c}evi\'{c} and…

Gowers and Hatami initiated the inverse theory for the uniformity norms $U^k$ of matrix-valued functions on non-abelian groups by proving a $1\%$-inverse theorem for the $U^2$-norm and relating it to stability questions for almost…

We establish a correspondence between inverse sumset theorems (which can be viewed as classifications of approximate (abelian) groups) and inverse theorems for the Gowers norms (which can be viewed as classifications of approximate…

The $U^2$ norm gives a useful measure of quasirandomness for real- or complex-valued functions defined on finite (or, more generally, locally compact) groups. A simple Fourier-analytic argument yields an inverse theorem, which shows that a…

In this paper, we give a cubic Goldreich-Levin algorithm which makes polynomially-many queries to a function $f \colon \mathbb F_p^n \to \mathbb C$ and produces a decomposition of $f$ as a sum of cubic phases and a small error term. This is…

In this paper we investigate the uniform distribution properties of polynomials in many variables and bounded degree over a fixed finite field F of prime order. Our main result is that a polynomial P : F^n -> F is poorly-distributed only if…

We provide a new proof of the inverse theorem for the Gowers $U^{s+1}$-norm over groups $H=\mathbb Z/N\mathbb Z$ for $N$ prime. This proof gives reasonable quantitative bounds (the worst parameters are double-exponential), and in particular…
