Abstract

Chang's lemma is a widely employed result in additive combinatorics. It gives bounds on the dimension of the large spectrum of probability distributions on finite abelian groups. Recently, Bloom (2016) presented a powerful variant of Chang's lemma that yields the strongest known quantitative version of Roth's theorem on 3-term arithmetic progressions in dense subsets of the integers. In this note, we show how such theorems can be derived from the approximation of probability measures via entropy maximization.
