Abstract

We study the extent to which sets A subset of Z/NZ, AF prime, resemble sets of integers from the additive point of view ('up to Freiman isomorphism'). We give a direct proof of a result of Freiman, namely that if vertical bar A + A vertical bar = (32K)(-12K2). As a byproduct of our argument we obtain a sharpening of the second author's result on sets with small sumset in torsion groups. For example, if A subset of F-2(n), and if vertical bar A + A vertical bar
