Expand the cube product forWhenever all eight -vertices of the cube lie in , the Freiman homomorphism property makes every second additive derivative of vanish. Consequently the coefficients of and of each of the three -direction increments in the phase cancel, so the phase product around the cube is one. It follows thatPart b(i), applied to , now givesSince , one can apply the inverse theorem for the Gowers U3 norm over a finite field: has nontrivial correlation, quantitatively in and , with a quadratic phase on .
