Gowers, Green, Manners, and Tao (Annals '25) recently resolved Marton's polynomial Freiman–Ruzsa conjecture. We give an algorithmic counterpart to their result: given uniform sampling and membership-oracle access to a set $A \subseteq \mathbb{F}_2^n$ with doubling constant at most $K$, our algorithm outputs a subspace of size at most $|A|$ whose ... more >>>

We show that under a plausible number-theoretic conjecture, for any constant $s$ there exists an $s$-server private information retrieval (PIR) protocol that on an $n$-bit database requires communication $\exp(O((\log n)^{1/s} (\log \log n)^{1-1/s}))$. Previous constructions attaining the same communication required $2^{O(s)}$ servers. Our number-theoretic conjecture is implied by existing conjectures, ... more >>>
