Abstract.Szemerédi’s regularity lemma is an important tool in graph theory which has applications throughout combinatorics. In this paper we prove an analogue of Szemerédi’s regularity lemma in the context of abelian groups and use it to derive some results in additive number theory. One is a structure theorem for sets which are almost sum-free. If $$A \subseteq \{1,\ldots,N\}$$ has δ N2 triples (a1, a2, a3) for which a1 + a2 = a3 then A = B ∪ C, where B is sum-free and |C| = δ′N, and $$\delta… Expand
