Measure doubling of small sets in \mathrm{SO}(3,\mathbb{R})

Abstract: Let

m a t h r m S O (3, m a t h b b R)

be the 3D-rotation group equipped with the real-manifold topology and the normalized Haar measure

m u

. Resolving a problem by Breuillard and Green, we show that if

A s u b s e t e q m a t h r m S O (3, m a t h b b R)

is an open subset with sufficiently small measure, then

mu(A^2) > 3.99 mu(A).

We also show a more general result for the product of two sets, which can be seen as a Brunn-Minkowski-type inequality for sets with small measure in

m a t h r m S O (3, m a t h b b R)

.
