Bohr sets in sumsets II: countable abelian groups
Abstract
We prove three results concerning the existence of Bohr sets in threefold sumsets. More precisely, letting be a countable discrete abelian group and be commuting endomorphisms whose images have finite indices, we show that (1) If has positive upper Banach density and , then contains a Bohr set. This generalizes a theorem of Bergelson and Ruzsa in and a recent result of the first author. (2) For any partition , there exists an such that contains a Bohr set. This generalizes a result of the second and third authors from to countable abelian groups. (3) If have positive upper Banach density and is a partition, contains a Bohr set for some . This is a strengthening of a theorem of Bergelson, Furstenberg, and Weiss. These results are quantitative in the sense that the radius and rank of the Bohr set obtained depends only on the indices , the upper Banach density of (in (1)), or the number of sets in the given partition (in (2) and (3)).
