The inverse Littlewood conjecture for dissociated dimension

From papers

Let AZA\subset\mathbb{Z} be a finite set of size NN, and define dimA\dim A to be the size of the largest dissociated subset of AA. Let K>0K>0. The inverse Littlewood dimension conjecture. If NN is sufficiently large depending only on KK and

1A^1KlogN,\\|\widehat{1_A}\\|_1\leqslant K\log N,

then

dimAK(logN)2.\dim A\ll_K(\log N)^2.

Furthermore, AA contains a subset of size KN\gg_KN and dimension KlogN\ll_K\log N. This would sharpen the known upper bound dimAK(logN)3\dim A\ll_K(\log N)^3 and match, up to constants, examples formed from a large arithmetic progression together with a dissociated set of size about (logN)2(\log N)^2.
