Abstract: | We note a link between combinatorial results of Bollobásand Leader concerning sumsets in the grid, the BrunnMinkowskitheorem and a result of Freiman and Bilu concerning the structureof sets A with small doubling. Our main result is the following. If > 0 and if A is a finitenon-empty subset of a torsion-free abelian group with |A + A| K|A|, then A may be covered by eKO(1) progressions of dimension log 2 K + and size at most |A|. |
