Abstract: We show that if $A$ is a finite $K$-approximate subgroup of an $s$-step nilpotent group then there is a finite normal subgroup $Hsubset{A}^{K^{O_s(1)}}$ modulo which $A^{O_s(lo{g}^{O_s(1)}K)}$ contains a nilprogression of rank at most $O_s(lo{g}^{O_s(1)}K)$ and size at least $exp(-O_s(lo{g}^{O_s(1)}K))|A|$. This partially generalises the close-to-optimal bounds obtained in the abelian case by Sanders, and improves the bounds and simplifies the exposition of an earlier result of the author. Combined with results of Breuillard-Green, Breuillard-Green-Tao, Gill-Helfgott-Pyber-Szab'o, and the author, this leads to improved rank bounds in Freiman-type theorems in residually nilpotent groups and certain linear groups of bounded degree.
