Abstract

We classify the polynomials f(x,y)R[x,y]f(x,y) \in \mathbb R[x,y] such that given any finite set ARA \subset \mathbb R if A+A|A+A| is small, then f(A,A)|f(A,A)| is large. In particular, the following bound holds : A+Af(A,A)A5/2.|A+A||f(A,A)| \gtrsim |A|^{5/2}. The Bezout's theorem and a theorem by Y. Stein play important roles in our proof.
