Plünnecke cube-difference expansion lemma. If $A \subset \mathbb{F}_p$ with $|A| = p^s$ for $0 < s < 1$, then there exists some $\varepsilon = \varepsilon(s) > 0$ such that $|A^3 - A^3| \ge p^{s + \varepsilon}$, witnessing genuine expansion under the combined operations of (multiplicative) cubing and (additive) differencing.
