The inverse theorem for the Us+1U^{s+1} Gowers norm on finite abelian groups

Let GG be a finite additive group, let ta>0ta > 0, let seq1s eq 1, and let f ⁣:GCf \colon G \to \mathbb{C} be a 11-bounded function with fUs+1(G)η\|f\|_{U^{s+1}(G)} \geq \eta. A degree ss filtered nilmanifold is a nilmanifold equipped with a filtration of degree ss; a polynomial map is understood with respect to this filtration. The inverse theorem for Us+1(G)U^{s+1}(G). There exists a degree ss filtered nilmanifold H/ΓH/\Gamma, drawn from some finite collection Ns,η{\mathcal N}_{s,\eta} of such nilmanifolds depending only on s,ηs,\eta and not on GG, a Lipschitz function F ⁣:H/ΓCF \colon H/\Gamma \to \mathbb{C} of Lipschitz norm Oη,s(1)O_{\eta,s}(1), and a polynomial map g ⁣:GH/Γg \colon G \to H/\Gamma such that

ExGf(x)F(g(x))η,s1.|\mathbb{E}_{x \in G} f(x) \overline{F(g(x))}| \gg_{\eta,s} 1.

This conjecture predicts a uniform nilsequence inverse theorem for arbitrary finite additive groups, with the target nilmanifold drawn from a finite family independent of GG.
