The minimiser conjecture for doubling in compact Lie groups

Let GG be a connected Lie group, let HH be a proper closed subgroup of maximal dimension, and for δ>0\delta>0 define its δ\delta-neighbourhood by

Hδ:={gG:d(g,H)<δ}.H_{\delta}:=\{g\in G:d(g,H)<\delta\}.

For a measurable subset AGA\subset G, its doubling constant is μG(A2)/μG(A)\mu_G(A^2)/\mu_G(A).

Doubling minimiser conjecture. The subset HδH_{\delta} minimises the doubling constant among measurable subsets AA satisfying

μG(A)=μG(Hδ).\mu_G(A)=\mu_G(H_{\delta}).

The conjecture concerns the precise minimisers underlying the sharp small-set doubling bounds. The source presents it as a conjecture and does not state a resolution.
