Distribution of residues in approximate subgroups of $\mathbb{F}_p^*$

Number Theory 2012-07-12 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

We extend a result due to Bourgain on the uniform distribution of residues by proving that subsets of the type f(I)Hf(I)\cdot H is equidistributed (as pp tends to infinity) where ff is a polynomial, II is an interval of \Fp\Fp and HH is an approximate subgroup of Fp\mathbb{F}_p^* with size larger than polylogarithmic in pp.
