Marton's conjecture in polynomial time
Abstract
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 ⊆ 𝔽2n with doubling constant at most K, our algorithm outputs a subspace of size at most |A| whose KO(1) translates cover A. The algorithm runs in textsfpoly(n,K) time. As applications, we obtain polynomial-time algorithms for a variety of learning problems, including quadratic Goldreich-Levin, improper agnostic tomography of stabilizer states, and tomography of quantum states with bounded stabilizer extent.
