Abstract

We study the weighted multilinear polynomial averages in finite fields. The essential ingredient is the usu^s-norm control of the corresponding weighted multilinear polynomial averages in finite fields, which is motivated by Ter\"av\"ainen \cite{T24}. As an application, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of the following multidimensional rational function progressions in the subsets of FpD\mathbb{F}_p^D: x,x+P1(φ(y))v1,,x+Pk(φ(y))vk, \textbf{x}, \textbf{x}+ P_1(\varphi(y))v_1,\cdots, \textbf{x}+ P_k(\varphi(y))v_k, where V={v1,,vkZD}\mathbb{V}=\{v_1, \cdots, v_{k} \in \mathbb{Z}^D\} is a collection of nonzero vectors, P={P1,,PkZ[y]}\mathbb{P}= \{P_1, \cdots, P_{k}\in \mathbb{Z}[y]\} is a collection of linearly independent polynomials with zero constant terms, and φ(y)Q(y)\varphi(y) \in \mathbb{Q}(y) is a nonzero rational function.
