Abstract: There exists a $p<3$ with the property that for all real numbers $K$ and every finite subset $A$ of a commutative group that satisfies $|A+A| \leq K |A|$, the dilate sum \[A+2 \cdot A = \{ a + b+b : a, b \in A\}\] has size at most $K^p |A|$. This answers a question of Bukh.

Joint work with Brandon Hanson.
