Abstract: We show that any family of subsets A ⊆ 2 [ n ] satisfies | A | ≤ O ( n ⌈ d / 2 ⌉ ) , where d is the VC dimension of { S △ T | S , T ∈ A } , and △ is the symmetric difference operator. We also observe that replacing △ by either ∪ or ∩ fails to satisfy an analogous statement. Our proof is based on the polynomial method; specifically, on an argument due to [Croot, Lev, Pach '17].
