Marton's conjecture

Let GG be a group of bounded exponent, meaning that every element has order bounded by an absolute constant, and let AGA\subset G satisfy A+AKA|A+A|\leq K|A|. A subgroup cover is a subgroup MM whose translates cover AA; the size of the cover is the number of translates, and M|M| denotes its cardinality.

Marton's conjecture. AA is exp(O(logK))\exp(O(\log K))-covered by a subgroup MM of size at most exp(O(logK))A\exp(O(\log K))|A|.

This is the bounded-exponent formulation of the polynomial Freiman–Ruzsa conjecture and would improve the quasipolynomial covering and size bounds available in the theorem stated immediately beforehand.
