The Jamneshan-Tao conjecture for finite abelian groups of bounded rank

We confirm the Jamneshan-Tao conjecture for finite abelian groups of rank at most a fixed integer $R$ (i.e. finite abelian groups generated by at most $R$ elements), by proving an inverse theorem for 1-bounded functions of non-trivial Gowers norm on such groups, concluding that such a function must correlate non-trivially with a nilsequence of bounded complexity.
