The abelian arithmetic regularity lemma

Abstract

We give a brief exposition and proof of the arithmetic regularity lemma of Green and Tao in the abelian ($U^2$) case, over $\{1,\dots ,N\}$. This may be useful to those who need just the $U^2$ case of the lemma, as the general case is significantly more involved. It may also be useful as an introduction to the general case. No originality is claimed.
