Strong Breuillard–Green conjecture for SO(3,R)\mathrm{SO}(3,\mathbb{R})

Let ASO(3,R)A\subseteq \mathrm{SO}(3,\mathbb{R}) be open, and let μ\mu denote normalized Haar measure on SO(3,R)\mathrm{SO}(3,\mathbb{R}). For a unit vector uR3u\in\mathbb{R}^3, define the angular displacement of gg at uu by (u,gu)\angle(u,gu). Strong Breuillard–Green conjecture. One has

μ(A2)min{1,4μ(A)(1μ(A))}.\mu(A^2)\geq \min\{1,4\mu(A)(1-\mu(A))\}.

Moreover, if μ(A)<1/2\mu(A)<1/2, equality holds if and only if there is a unit vector uR3u\in\mathbb{R}^3 such that

A={gSO(3,R):(u,gu)<arccos(1μ(A))}.A=\{g\in \mathrm{SO}(3,\mathbb{R}):\angle(u,gu)<\arccos(1-\mu(A))\}.

This strengthens the small-set Breuillard–Green phenomenon by proposing the optimal doubling bound for every open set in SO(3,R)\mathrm{SO}(3,\mathbb{R}), together with a characterization of the equality cases for sets of measure below 1/21/2.
