The set of possible values of $D_{KL}(X \Vert U_A + T)$, where $U_A$ is uniform on $A$ and
$T$ ranges over $G$-valued random variables independent of $U_A$. We also require an absolute
continuity condition so that the KL divergence makes sense in ℝ
.
To avoid universe issues, we express this using measures on G
, but the equivalence with the
above point of view follows from rhoMinus_le
below.

If $H$ is a finite subgroup of $G$, and $\rho(U_H) \leq r$, then there exists $t$ such that $|A \cap (H+t)| \geq e^{-r} \sqrt{|A||H|}$, and $|H|/|A| \in [e^{-2r}, e^{2r}]$.
If $H$ is a finite subgroup of $G$, and $\rho(U_H) \leq r$, then there exists $t$ such that $|A \cap (H+t)| \geq e^{-r} \sqrt{|A||H|}$, and $|H|/|A| \in [e^{-2r}, e^{2r}]$.
\rho(X)$ depends continuously on the distribution of $X$.
If $X,Y$ are independent, one has $$ \rho^-(X+Y) \leq \rho^-(X)$$
If $X,Y$ are independent, one has $$ \rho^+(X+Y) \leq \rho^+(X) + \bbH[X+Y] - \bbH[X]$$
If $X,Y$ are independent, one has $$ \rho(X+Y) \leq \rho(X) + \frac{1}{2}( \bbH[X+Y] - \bbH[X] ).$$
We define $\rho(X|Y) := \sum_y {\bf P}(Y=y) \rho(X|Y=y)$.

$$ \rho^-(X|Z) \leq \rho^-(X) + \bbH[X] - \bbH[X|Z]$$
$$ \rho^+(X|Z) \leq \rho^+(X)$$
$$ \rho(X|Z) \leq \rho(X) + \frac{1}{2}( \bbH[X] - \bbH[X|Z] )$$

Given $G$-valued random variables $X,Y$, define $$ \phi[X;Y] := d[X;Y] + \eta(\rho(X) + \rho(Y))$$ and define a \emph{$\phi$-minimizer} to be a pair of random variables $X,Y$ which minimizes $\phi[X;Y]$.

Instances For
There exists a $\phi$-minimizer.
$I_1\le 2\eta d[X_1;X_2]$
$d[X_1;X_1]+d[X_2;X_2]= 2d[X_1;X_2]+(I_2-I_1)$.
$I_2\le 2\eta d[X_1;X_2] + \frac{\eta}{1-\eta}(2\eta d[X_1;X_2]-I_1)$.
If $G$-valued random variables $T_1,T_2,T_3$ satisfy $T_1+T_2+T_3=0$, then $$d[X_1;X_2]\le 3\bbI[T_1:T_2\mid T_3] + (2\bbH[T_3]-\bbH[T_1]-\bbH[T_2])+ \eta(\rho(T_1|T_3)+\rho(T_2|T_3)-\rho(X_1)-\rho(X_2)).$$
If $G$-valued random variables $T_1,T_2,T_3$ satisfy $T_1+T_2+T_3=0$, then $$d[X_1;X_2]\le 3\bbI[T_1:T_2\mid T_3] + (2\bbH[T_3]-\bbH[T_1]-\bbH[T_2])+ \eta(\rho(T_1|T_3)+\rho(T_2|T_3)-\rho(X_1)-\rho(X_2)).$$
If $G$-valued random variables $T_1,T_2,T_3$ satisfy $T_1+T_2+T_3=0$, then $$d[X_1;X_2] \leq \sum_{1 \leq i < j \leq 3} \bbI[T_i:T_j]
- \frac{\eta}{3} \sum_{1 \leq i < j \leq 3} (\rho(T_i|T_j) + \rho(T_j|T_i) -\rho(X_1)-\rho(X_2))$$
If $G$-valued random variables $T_1,T_2,T_3$ satisfy $T_1+T_2+T_3=0$, then $$d[X_1;X_2] \leq \sum_{1 \leq i < j \leq 3} \bbI[T_i:T_j]
- \frac{\eta}{3} \sum_{1 \leq i < j \leq 3} (\rho(T_i|T_j) + \rho(T_j|T_i) -\rho(X_1)-\rho(X_2))$$
For independent random variables $Y_1,Y_2,Y_3,Y_4$ over $G$, define $S:=Y_1+Y_2+Y_3+Y_4$, $T_1:=Y_1+Y_2$, $T_2:=Y_1+Y_3$. Then $$\rho(T_1|T_2,S)+\rho(T_2|T_1,S) - \frac{1}{2}\sum_{i} \rho(Y_i) \le \frac{1}{2}(d[Y_1;Y_2]+d[Y_3;Y_4]+d[Y_1;Y_3]+d[Y_2;Y_4]).$$
For independent random variables $Y_1,Y_2,Y_3,Y_4$ over $G$, define $T_1:=Y_1+Y_2, T_2:=Y_1+Y_3, T_3:=Y_2+Y_3$ and $S:=Y_1+Y_2+Y_3+Y_4$. Then $$\sum_{1 \leq i < j \leq 3} (\rho(T_i|T_j,S) + \rho(T_j|T_i,S) - \frac{1}{2}\sum_{i} \rho(Y_i))\le \sum_{1\leq i < j \leq 4}d[Y_i;Y_j]$$
If $X_1, X_2$ is a $\phi$-minimizer, then $d[X_1;X_2] = 0$.
For η ≤ 1/8
, there exist phi-minimizers X₁, X₂
at zero Rusza distance. For η < 1/8
,
all minimizers are fine, by dist_of_min_eq_zero
. For η = 1/8
, we use a limit of
minimizers for η < 1/8
, which exists by compactness.
For any random variables $Y_1,Y_2$, there exist a subgroup $H$ such that $$ 2\rho(U_H) \leq \rho(Y_1) + \rho(Y_2) + 8 d[Y_1;Y_2].$$
If $|A+A| \leq K|A|$, then there exists a subgroup $H$ and $t\in G$ such that $|A \cap (H+t)| \geq K^{-4} \sqrt{|A||V|}$, and $|H|/|A|\in[K^{-8},K^8]$.
Auxiliary statement towards the polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa (PFR) conjecture: if $A$ is a subset of an elementary abelian 2-group of doubling constant at most $K$, then there exists a subgroup $H$ such that $A$ can be covered by at most $K^5 |A|^{1/2} / |H|^{1/2}$ cosets of $H$, and $H$ has the same cardinality as $A$ up to a multiplicative factor $K^8$.
If $A \subset {\bf F}_2^n$ is finite non-empty with $|A+A| \leq K|A|$, then there exists a subgroup $H$ of ${\bf F}_2^n$ with $|H| \leq |A|$ such that $A$ can be covered by at most $2K^9$ translates of $H$.
