Algebraic methods in sum-product phenomena

We classify the polynomials f ( x, y ) ∈ ℝ[ x, y ] such that, given any finite set A ⊂ ℝ, if | A + A | is small, then | f ( A,A )| is large. In particular, the following bound holds: | A + A ‖ f ( A,A )| ≳ | A | 5/2 . The Bezout theorem and a theorem by Y. Stein play an important role in our proof....

Summary:We classify the polynomials f ( x, y ) ∈ ℝ[ x, y ] such that, given any finite set A ⊂ ℝ, if | A + A | is small, then | f ( A,A )| is large. In particular, the following bound holds: | A + A ‖ f ( A,A )| ≳ | A | 5/2 . The Bezout theorem and a theorem by Y. Stein play an important role in our proof.
