For a subset $A$ of $\{1,2,\ldots,N\}^2$ of size $\alpha N^2$ we show existence of $(m,n)\neq(0,0)$ such that the set $A$ contains at least $(\alpha^3 - o(1))N^2$ triples of points of the form $(a,b)$, $(a+m,b+n)$, $(a-n,b+m)$. This answers a question by Ackelsberg, Bergelson, and Best. The same approach also establishes the corresponding result for compact abelian groups. Furthermore, for a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ we comment on exponential smallness of subsets of $(\mathbb{F}_q^n)^2$ that avoid the aforementioned configuration. The proofs are minor modifications of the existing proofs regarding three-term arithmetic progressions.

Abstract For a compact abelian group G, a corner in G × G is a triple of points (x, y), (x, y+d), (x+d, y). The classical corners theorem of Ajtai and Szemerédi implies that for every α > 0, there is some δ > 0 such that every subset A ⊂ G × G of density α contains a δ fraction of all corners in G × G, as x, y, d range over G. Recently, Mandache proved a “popular differences” version of this result in the finite field case $G = {\mathbb{F}}_p^n$ , showing that for any subset A ⊂ G × G of density α, one can fix d ≠ 0 such that A contains a large fraction, now known to be approximately α4, of all corners with difference d, as x, y vary over G. We generalise Mandache’s result to all compact abelian groups G, as well as the case of corners in $\mathbb{Z}^2$ .

Scaling and generalized scaling sets determine wavelet sets and hence wavelets. In real case, wavelet sets were proved to be an important tool for the construction of MRA as well as non-MRA wavelets. However, any result related to scaling/generalized scaling sets is not available in case of locally compact abelian groups. This paper gives a characterization of scaling sets and its generalized version along with relevant examples in dual Cantor dyadic group [Formula: see text]. These results can further be generalized to arbitrary locally compact abelian groups.

Introduction. A famous construction of Wiener and Wintner ((13)), later refined by Salem ((11)) and extended by Schaeffer ((12)) and Ivašev-Musatov ((8)), produces a non-negative, singular, continuous measure μ on [ − π,π[ such thatfor every ∈ > 0. It is plain that the convolution μ * μ is absolutely continuous and in fact has Lebesgue–Radon–Nikodým derivative f such that For general locally compact Abelian groups, no exact analogue of (1 · 1) seems possible, as the character group may admit no natural order. However, it makes good sense to ask if μ* μ is absolutely continuous and has pth power integrable derivative. We will construct continuous singular measures μ on all non-discrete locally compact Abelian groups G such that μ * μ is a absolutely continuous and for which the Lebesgue–Radon–Nikodým derivative of μ * μ is in, for all real p > 1.
