New Proofs of Pl\"unnecke-type Estimates for Product Sets in Groups

We present a new method to bound the cardinality of triple product sets in groups and give three applications. A new and unexpectedly short proof of the Plunnecke-Ruzsa sumset inequalities for Abelian groups. A new proof of a theorem of Tao on triple products, which generalises these inequalities when no assumption on commutativity is made. A further generalisation of the Plunnecke-Ruzsa inequalities in general groups.
