Abstract

Let Fp\mathbb{F}_p be the field of residue classes modulo a prime number pp and let AA be a nonempty subset of Fp\mathbb{F}_p. In this paper we show that if Ap0.5|A|\preceq p^{0.5}, then max{A±A,AA}A13/12; \max\{|A\pm A|,|AA|\}\succeq|A|^{13/12}; if Ap0.5|A|\succeq p^{0.5}, then max{A±A,AA}min{A13/12(Ap0.5)1/12,A(pA)1/11}. \max\{|A\pm A|,|AA|\}\succapprox \min\{|A|^{13/12}(\frac{|A|}{p^{0.5}})^{1/12},|A|(\frac{p}{|A|})^{1/11}\}. These results slightly improve the estimates of Bourgain-Garaev and Shen. Sum-product estimates on different sets are also considered.
