The approximate polynomial growth conjecture for locally compact groups

From papers

Let GG be a locally compact group, let AGA\subset G be a compact neighborhood, and let μ\mu be Haar measure on GG. For n1n\geqslant 1, write AnA^n for the nn-fold product set of AA. Approximate polynomial growth conjecture. If

μ(An)ndμ(A)\mu(A^n)\leqslant n^d\mu(A)

for all ndlogdn\geqslant d\log d, then AA is contained in a d1+o(1)d^{1+o(1)}-dimensional ball BB of some continuous translation-invariant pseudometric, with

μ(B)exp(d1+o(1))μ(A).\mu(B)\leqslant \exp(d^{1+o(1)})\mu(A).

The source proposes this as a non-abelian analogue of its weak Freiman theorem, explicitly describing it as a conjectural direction and giving no resolution.
