Title: Approximate algebraic structure

[bengreen]

I misstated Rankin's bound: the denominator should be (log log log n)^2.

So good to see a mathematician with such a great sense of style. ; )

[StephenPaulKing]

OMG! That last question! A computer is defined... Could a Szilard process be an approximate group or progression?

[StephenPaulKing]

Could we prove the existence of Sylvester-’t Hooft generators as nilprogressions or something relatable?

[StephenPaulKing]

Does a 1/\phi-approximate group have any interesting properties? (where \phi is (1+\sqrt 5)/2 )
