Approximate subgroups
Journal de l’École polytechnique — Mathématiques, Volume 2 (2015), pp. 55-63.

Given a definably amenable approximate subgroup A of a (local) group in some first-order structure, there is a type-definable subgroup H normalized by A and contained in A 4 such that every definable superset of H has positive measure.

Étant donné un sous-groupe approximatif A définissablement moyennable d’un groupe (local) dans une structure du premier ordre, il y a un sous-groupe H type-définissable normalisé par A et contenu dans A 4 tel que tout ensemble définissable contenant H est de mesure positive.
