Abstract
In this paper we consider estimating the number of solutions to multiplicative equations in finite fields when the variables run through certain sets with high additive structure. In particular, we consider estimating the multiplicative energy of generalized arithmetic progressions in prime fields and of boxes in arbitrary finite fields and obtain sharp bounds in more general scenarios than previously known. Our arguments extend some ideas of Konyagin and Bourgain and Chang into new settings.
