Gregory Freiman

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gregory Abelevich Freiman , Russian Григорий Абелевич Фрейман (* 1926 in Kazan ) is a Russian-Israeli mathematician who deals with additive number theory and additive combinatorics. He is a professor at Tel Aviv University .

Freiman graduated from Lomonosov University in 1949, received his doctorate in 1956 from Kazan University and in 1965 at the Moscow Pedagogical Institute under Alexander Ossipowitsch Gelfond (Russian doctorate) with the thesis Structural Theory of Set Addition . He was at the University of Kazan in its branch in Elabuga (State Pedagogical Institute). In the 1970s he protested the treatment of Jewish intellectuals in the Soviet Union (published 1979 in the USA) and later immigrated to Israel.

He is known for Freiman's theorem (1964, 1966), which makes statements about a set A of natural numbers, if the sum set holds that with a constant K ( small doubling property ). After Freiman A is in a multi-dimensional arithmetic progression with inverse of K dimension and length included. New evidence comes from Imre Ruzsa (1994) and improvements to the barrier came from Tom Sanders . The theorem has also been extended to include Abelian groups, for example.
