We introduce a notion of VC-dimension for subsets of groups, defining this for a set $A$ to be the VC-dimension of the family $\{ A \cap(xA) : x \in A\cdot A^{-1} \}$. We show that if a finite subset $A$ of an abelian group has bounded VC-dimension, then the convolution $1_A*1_{-A}$ is Bohr uniformly continuous, in a quantitatively strong sense. This generalises and strengthens a version of the stable arithmetic regularity lemma of Terry and Wolf in various ways. In particular, it directly…

Suppose $G$ is a finite group and $A\subseteq G$ is such that $\{gA:g\in G\}$ has VC-dimension strictly less than $k$. We find algebraically well-structured sets in $G$ which, up to a chosen

We show that a $k$-stable set in a finite group can be approximated, up to given error $\epsilon>0$, by left cosets of a subgroup of index $\epsilon^{\text{-}O_k(1)}$. This improves the bound in a

It is proved, using the Weil bound for multiplicative character sums, that the Vapnik–Chervonenkis dimension of the set of quadratic residues, F q, is (cid:62) ( 12 + o (1) log 2 q .
We show that if $G$ is a discrete Abelian group and $A \subset G$ has $\|1_A\|_{B(G)} \leq M$ then $A$ is $O(\exp(\pi M))$-stable in the sense of Terry and Wolf.

A non-quantitative version of the Freiman–Ruzsa theorem is obtained for finite stable sets with small tripling in arbitrary groups, as well as for (finite) weakly normal subsets in abelian groups.

We give a self-contained exposition of several aspects of Croot-Sisask almost periodicity, with a special focus on its application to Roth’s theorem. Using almost periodicity, we obtain a bound on
