Let $t:\mathbb{F}_{p}\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ be a complex valued function on $\mathbb{F}_{p}$. A classical problem in analytic number theory is to bound the maximum of the absolute value of the incomplete sum \[ M(t):=\max_{0\leq…

Let $R$ be a discrete valuation ring with field of fractions $K$ and residue field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. Given a finite commutative group scheme $G$ over $K$ and a smooth projective curve $C$ over $K$ with a rational point, we study…

Let $\tilde{f}(X)\in\mathbb{Z}[X]$ be a degree-$n$ polynomial such that $f(X):=\tilde{f}(X)\bmod p$ factorizes into $n$ distinct linear factors over $\mathbb{F}_p$. We study the problem of deterministically factoring $f(X)$ over…

In this paper, we give strong lower bounds on the size of the sets of products of matrices in some certain groups. More precisely, we prove an analogue of a result due to Chapman and Iosevich for matrices in $SL_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$ with…

Francis Castro, et al [2] computed the exact divisibility of families of exponential sums associated to binomials $F(X) = aX^{d_1} + bX^{d_2}$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$, and a conjecture is presented for related work. Here we study this question.

We define the class of groups of bounded type from tile inflations. These tile inflations also determine some automata describing the groups. In the case when the automata are stationary, we show that if the set of incompressible elements…

We prove new upper bounds for a spectral exponential sum by refining the process by which one evaluates mean values of $L$-functions multiplied by an oscillating function. In particular, we introduce a method which is capable of taking into…

We study averages over squarefree moduli of the size of exponential sums with polynomial phases. We prove upper bounds on various moments of such sums, and obtain evidence of un-correlation of exponential sums associated to different…

We consider families of exponential sums indexed by a subgroup of invertible classes modulo some prime power $q$. For fixed $d$, we restrict to moduli $q$ so that there is a unique subgroup of invertible classes modulo $q$ of order $d$. We…

For a large prime $p$, and a polynomial $f$ over a finite field $F_p$ of $p$ elements, we obtain a lower bound on the size of the multiplicative subgroup of $F_p^*$ containing $H\ge 1$ consecutive values $f(x)$, $x = u+1, \ldots, u+H$,…

The paper is devoted to vector fields on the spaces R^2 and R^3, their flow and invariants. Attention is plaid on the tensor representations of the group GL(2,R) and on fundamental vector fields. The rotation group on R^3 is generalized to…

We establish exponential bounds for the hypergeometric distribution which include a finite sampling correction factor, but are otherwise analogous to bounds for the binomial distribution due to Le\'on and Perron (2003) and Talagrand (1994).…

We establish a new bound for short character sums in finite fields, particularly over two-dimensional grids in $\mathbb{F}_{p^3}$ and higher-dimensional lattices in $\mathbb{F}_{p^d}$, extending an earlier work of Mei-Chu Chang on Burgess…

For $ E\subset \mathbb{F}_q^d$, let $\Delta(E)$ denote the distance set determined by pairs of points in $E$. By using additive energies of sets on a paraboloid, Koh, Pham, Shen, and Vinh (2020) proved that if $E,F\subset \mathbb{F}_q^d $…

Given a prime $p$ and an integer $d>1$, we give a numerical criterion to decide whether the $\ell$-adic sheaf associated to the one-parameter exponential sums $t\mapsto \sum_x\psi(x^d+tx)$ over ${\mathbb F}_p$ has finite monodromy or not,…

We find a lower bound on the proportion of derangements in a finite transitive group that depends on the minimal nontrivial subdegree. As a consequence, we prove that, if $\Gamma$ is a $G$-vertex-transitive digraph of valency $d\ge 1$, then…

We prove a recent conjecture due to Cluckers and Veys on exponential sums modulo $p^m$ for $m \geq 2$ in the special case where the phase polynomial $f$ is sufficiently non-degenerate with respect to its Newton polyhedron at the origin. Our…

We show that for some absolute (explicit) constant $C$, the following holds for every finitely generated group $G$, and all $d >0$: If there is some $ R_0 > \exp(\exp(Cd^C))$ for which the number of elements in a ball of radius $R_0$ in a…

We study a characteristic subgroup of finitely generated groups, consisting of elements with uniform upper bound for word-lengths. For a group $G$, we denote this subgroup by $G_{bound}$. We give sufficient criteria for triviality and…

Let G be a group of permutations of a denumerable set E. The profile of G is the function phi which counts, for each n, the number phi(n) of orbits of G acting on the n-subsets of E. Counting functions arising this way, and their associated…
