The Typical Structure of Sets with Small Sumset

Abstract

In this paper we determine the number and typical structure of sets of integers with bounded doubling. In particular, improving recent results of Green and Morris, and of Mazur, we show that the following holds for every fixed λ>2\lambda > 2 and every k(logn)4k \geqslant (\log n)^4: if ω\omega \to \infty as nn \to \infty (arbitrarily slowly), then almost all sets A[n]A \subset [n] with A=k|A| = k and A+Aλk|A + A| \leqslant \lambda k are contained in an arithmetic progression of length λk/2+ω\lambda k/2 + \omega.
