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