Small total variation distance between sums of random variables in finite Abelian group implies close to uniform?
Let $\mathbb{G} = \mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$ (where $p$ is a prime). Let $X,Y,Z$ be independent random variables in $\mathbb G$.
For a small $\epsilon$ we have $\operatorname{dist}_{TV}(X+Y,Z+Y)<\...
