Theorem 0. Let A be a sufficiently large finite set of integers such that| A+ A|≤ C1| A|,(1.2) for some constant C1. Then A is contained in a proper d-dimensional arithmetic progression P satisfying d≤[C1− 1],(1.3)| P|≤ C2| A|,(1.4) where C2= C2 (C1) is a constant depending on C1. This result has been the focus of research and improvements over recent years. See for instance [BL],[Bi],[C1],[CoZ],[E1],[ErS],[F],[FHR],[G1],[G2],[H],[KLT],[KT],[N],[NT],[R1, 2, 3],[ST], and [T]. It is shown in particular in [C1] that one may take in (1.4) log C2% C2 1 (log C1) 3.(1.5) In [ErS], it is conjectured that either the sumset A+ A or the product set AA, A being an arbitrary finite set of integers, needs to have essentially extremal size, in the following sense max (| A+ A|,| AA|)> cε| A| 2− ε for all ε> 0,(1.6)
