Abstract
We prove a query complexity variant of the weak polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture in the following form. For any $\epsilon > 0$, a set $A \subset \mathbb{Z}^d$ with doubling $K$ has a subset of size at least $K^{-\frac{4}{\epsilon}}|A|$ with coordinate query complexity at most $\epsilon \log_2 |A|$. We apply this structural result to give a simple proof of the ``few products, many sums'' phenomenon for integer sets. The resulting bounds are explicit and improve on the seminal result of Bourgain and Chang.
