If G is a finite abelian group of odd order N and A⊆G contains no nonconstant three-term arithmetic progression, then Bourgain's bound is
∣A∣≪N(logNloglogN​)1/2.

Bourgain bound for three-term-progression-free sets
Let A have relative density α in a rank-d Regular Bohr set B, and suppose A has no nonconstant three-term arithmetic progression. Then either
∣A∣≤(d/α)O(d)∣B∣1/2,
(1)
or some translate of A has relative density at least (1+cα)α in a regular Bohr set B′⊆B of rank at most d+1 and width at least ρ(B)(α/d)O(1).
