Certain interesting results in additive combinatorics, such as the existence of long arithmetic progressions in sumsets and Roth’s theorem, can be viewed as consequences of certain almost-periodicity-type theorems for convolutions. I shall discuss this and outline a new technique for establishing such results that uses probability rather than Fourier analysis as the main tool. Based on work joint with Ernie Croot.
