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 functions which locally look like quadratics. In both cases a weak form, with exponential decay of parameters is known, and a strong form with only a polynomial loss of parameters is conjectured. Our main result is that the two conjectures are in fact equivalent.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-01-19T16:28:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05B10", "11B13" ], "keywords": [ "additive combinatorics", "polynomial conjectures", "equivalence", "polynomial freiman-ruzsa conjecture", "inverse gowers conjecture" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1001.3356L" } } }
