A Freĭman-type theorem for locally compact abelian groups
[Une généralisation du théorème de Freĭman aux groupes abéliens localement compacts]
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Tome 59 (2009) no. 4, pp. 1321-1335.

Soit G un groupe abélien localement compact muni d’une mesure de Haar μ. La δ-boule B δ pour une pseudo-métrique continue et invariante par translation sera dite de dimension d si μ(B 2δ )2 d μ(B δ ) pour tout δ (0,δ]. Nous montrons que si A est un voisinage compact symétrique de l’identité tel que μ(nA)n d μ(A) pour tout ndlogd, alors A est contenu dans une boule B de dimension O(dlog 3 d) et de rayon strictement positif pour une pseudo-métrique continue et invariante par translation  ; de plus μ(B)exp(O(dlogd))μ(A).

Suppose that G is a locally compact abelian group with a Haar measure μ. The δ-ball B δ of a continuous translation invariant pseudo-metric is called d-dimensional if μ(B 2δ )2 d μ(B δ ) for all δ (0,δ]. We show that if A is a compact symmetric neighborhood of the identity with μ(nA)n d μ(A) for all ndlogd, then A is contained in an O(dlog 3 d)-dimensional ball, B, of positive radius in some continuous translation invariant pseudo-metric and μ(B)exp(O(dlogd))μ(A).
