letLet $A\subset\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ such that: $|A|>n^{d}$ ($0< d <1$).
$$D=\{(x,y)\,|\, x+y\in A\}$$ Let $C=\{(x,y,2y-x)\in A\times A \times A\}$ be the set of $3$-term arithmetic progressions within $A$.
and[The original version asked about $C=(A\times A)\cap D$$x+y \in A$, settled by the example of Anthony Quas. I]
I need to prove (or refute) that there exists a lower bound $u(n)$ on $\frac{|C|}{|A|} $ such that: $$\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\log(u(n))}{\log(n)}>0$$ and $|C|\geq u(n)|A|$.
$$\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\log(u(n))}{\log(n)}>0.$$
