Distribution of Elements of Cosets of Small Subgroups and Applications

Number Theory 2011-03-21 v2

Abstract

We obtain a series of estimates on the number of small integers and small order Farey fractions which belong to a given coset of a subgroup of order tt of the group of units of the residue ring modulo a prime pp, in the case when tt is small compared to pp. We give two applications of these results: to the simultaneous distribution of two high degree monomials xk1x^{k_1} and xk2x^{k_2} modulo pp and to a question of J. Holden and P. Moree on fixed points of the discrete logarithm.
