On the Discretized Sum-Product Problem

Creators: Guth, Larry; Katz, Nets Hawk; Zahl, Joshua

Abstract

We give a new proof of the discretized ring theorem for sets of real numbers. As a special case, we show that if A ⊂ R is a (δ,1/2)₁-set in the sense of Katz and Tao, then either A+A or A.A must have measure at least |A|1−1/68⁠.
