| contents | We study the interaction between the group law on an abelian variety and the additive structure induced on its image under a morphism to a projective space. Let $A/F$ be an abelian variety, $f:A \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$ be a morphism which is finite onto its image, and $Γ\subseteq A(F)$ be a finite-rank subgroup. We show that for any affine chart $\mathbb{A}^n \subseteq \mathbb{P}^n$ and any finite subset $X \subseteq f(Γ) \cap \mathbb{A}^n$, the energy satisfies $E(X) \ll \lvert X \rvert^2$ and the sumset satisfies $\lvert X+X \rvert \gg \lvert X \rvert^2$. Thus images of finite-rank subgroups of abelian varieties cannot have strong additive structure in affine space. This removes the simplicity assumption from the author's previous result. The proof combines the uniform Mordell--Lang conjecture of Gao--Ge--Kühne with a refined use of the Ueno locus, Rémond's boundedness theorem for abelian subvarieties of bounded degree, and induction on the dimension of $A$. |
