Furthermore, suppose that support(f) has no three-term arithmetic progressions. Then, we develop non-trivial lower bounds for f_j, which is the jth largest Fourier coefficient of f. This result is similar in spirit to that appearing in an earlier paper [1] by the author; however, in that paper the focus was on the ``small'' Fourier coefficients, whereas here the focus is on the ``large'' Fourier coefficients. Furthermore, the proof in the present paper requires much more sophisticated arguments than those of that other paper.This is a preliminary draft. Later drafts will have more references and cleaner proofsCombinatoricsNumber Theory05D99Subsets of F_p^n without three term arithmetic progressions have several large Fourier coefficientstext
