For a finite subset containing zero, choose and a uniformly random linear map . Each fixed nonzero vector has zero image with probability . The union bound gives a map whose kernel meets only at zero. It is injective on , and . The Plünnecke-Ruzsa inequality makes the image of have density at least if .
Under injective linear modelling of a small sumset, every has a unique lift , because differences of two lifts lie in . For , the discrepancy lies in , so it is zero. Thus is a linear map and its image is a vector subspace of the same size as . This verifies the additive lifting step rather than assuming that a preimage chosen from a sumset is automatically a subspace.
