Jul 6, 2014 at 12:08 comment added user44191 Masked Avenger: yes, I meant to include that; I meant to replace only the second condition (i.e. we have $A_n = A_n^{-1}, A_{n + 1}A_{n + 1} \subseteq A_n, A_{n + 1} \subsetneq A_n$.
Jul 6, 2014 at 8:25 comment added YCor @Misha I'm not sure of any link with approximate groups, which involve a parameter and finite subsets. On the other hand there should be a link with non-topologizable groups.
Jul 6, 2014 at 3:47 comment added Misha It seems that the question is related to the concept of "approximate groups". Alas, I do not know much about the area, but Terry Tao might be able to say something interesting.
Jul 6, 2014 at 0:45 comment added H. Khas Clearly all $A_n$ contain $1$ and $\bigcap _{n}A_n$ is a subgroup.
Jul 6, 2014 at 0:34 comment added The Masked Avenger I am not sure of the equivalence. I think closure under inverse is important (consider riffs on N under min).
Jul 5, 2014 at 23:49 comment added user44191 It's equivalent to say that $A_{n + 1} \subsetneq A_n, A_{n + 1} A_{n +1} \subseteq A_n$, by going through $A_{2n}$.
