Freiman's 3k43k-4 Theorem states that if a subset AA of kk integers has a Minkowski sum A+AA+A of size at most 3k43k-4, then it must be contained in a short arithmetic progression. We prove a function field analogue that is also a generalisation: it states that if KK is a perfect field and if SKS\supset K is a vector space of dimension kk inside an extension F/KF/K in which KK is algebraically closed, and if the KK-vector space generated by all products of pairs of elements of SS has dimension at most 3k43k-4, then K(S)K(S) is a function field of small genus, and SS is of small codimension inside a Riemann-Roch space of K(S)K(S).
