Pl\"unnecke inequalities for measure graphs with applications

Abstract

We generalize Petridis's new proof of Pl\"unnecke's graph inequality to graphs whose vertex set is a measure space. Consequently, this gives new Pl\"unnecke inequalities for measure preserving actions which enable us to deduce, via a Furstenberg correspondence principle, Banach density estimates in countable abelian groups that improve on those given by Jin.
