A step beyond Freiman’s theorem for set addition modulo a prime
Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux, Tome 32 (2020) no. 1, pp. 275-289.

Le théorème 2.4 de Freiman affirme que tout ensemble A p qui satisfait les conditions |2A|2.4|A|-3 et |A|<p/35 peut être couvert par une suite arithmétique de longueur inférieure ou égale à |2A|-|A|+1. Un résultat plus général de Green et Ruzsa implique que cette propriété de couverture est valable pour tout ensemble qui satisfait |2A|3|A|-4 et la condition de densité très forte |A|<p/10 215 . Nous présentons une version de ce résultat pour tous les ensembles qui satisfont |2A|2.48|A|-7 avec la condition de densité plus faible |A|<p/10 10 .

Freiman’s 2.4-Theorem states that any set A p satisfying |2A|2.4|A|-3 and |A|<p/35 can be covered by an arithmetic progression of length at most |2A|-|A|+1. A more general result of Green and Ruzsa implies that this covering property holds for any set satisfying |2A|3|A|-4 as long as the rather strong density requirement |A|<p/10 215 is satisfied. We present a version of this statement that allows for sets satisfying |2A|2.48|A|-7 with the more modest density requirement of |A|<p/10 10 .
