We construct explicitly in any finite field of the form Fq[x]/(x^m-a) elements with multiplicative order at least 2^{(2m)^(1/2)}
We prove, using combinatorics and Kloosterman sum technology that if $A \subset {\Bbb F}_q$, a finite field with $q$ elements, and $q^{{1/2}} \lesssim |A| \lesssim q^{{7/10}}$, then $\max \{|A+A|, |A \cdot A|\} \gtrsim…
We obtain lower bounds for the cardinality of $k$-fold sum-sets of reciprocals of elements of suitable defined short intervals in high degree extensions of finite fields. Combining our results with bounds for multilinear character sums we…
We prove that if $C$ is a reflexive smooth plane curve of degree $d$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $d\leq q+1$, then there is an $\mathbb{F}_q$-line $L$ that intersects $C$ transversely. We also prove the same result for…
In this paper, we give a survey of the known results concerning the tensor rank of the multiplication in finite fields and we establish new asymptotical and not asymptotical upper bounds about it.
We study sums over primes of trace functions of $\ell$-adic sheaves. Using an extension of our earlier results on algebraic twist of modular forms to the case of Eisenstein series and bounds for Type II sums based on similar applications of…
Inspired by the works of L. Carlitz and Z.-W. Sun on cyclotomic matrices, in this paper, we investigate certain cyclotomic matrices involving Gauss sums over finite fields, which can be viewed as finite field analogues of certain matrices…
Let G be a finite group with exactly k elements of largest possible order m. Let q(m) be the product of gcd(m,4) and the odd prime divisors of m. We show that |G|\le q(m)k^2/\phi(m) where \phi denotes Euler's totient function. This…
Let $S$ be a smooth cubic surface over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$. It is known that $\#S(\mathbb F_q) = 1 + aq + q^2$ for some $a \in \{-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,7\}$. Serre has asked which values of a can arise for a given $q$. Building on…
We bound the number of incidences between points and spheres in finite vector spaces by bounding the sum of the number of points in the pairwise intersections of the spheres. We obtain new incidence bounds that are interesting when the…
We consider a Bertrand type estimate for primes splitting completely. As one of its applications, we show the finiteness of trivial solutions of Diophantine equation about the factorial function over number fields except for the case the…
In this paper, with the help of trinomial coefficients we study some arithmetic properties of certain determiants involving reciprocals of binary quadratic forms over finite fields.
We present some elementary ideas to prove the following Sylvester-Gallai type theorems involving incidences between points and lines in the planes over the complex numbers and quaternions. (1) Let A and B be finite sets of at least two…
Let $\boldsymbol{\alpha}\in \mathbb{R}^N$ and $Q\geq 1$. We consider the sum $\sum_{\boldsymbol{q}\in [-Q,Q]^N\cap\mathbb{Z}^N\backslash\{\boldsymbol{0}\}}\|\boldsymbol{\alpha}\cdot\boldsymbol{q}\|^{-1}$. Sharp upper bounds are known when…
We show that any finite set S in a characteristic zero integral domain can be mapped to the finite field of order p, for infinitely many primes p, preserving all algebraic incidences in S. This can be seen as a generalization of the…
We investigate exponential sums over singular binary quartic forms, proving an explicit formula for the finite field Fourier transform of this set. Our formula shares much in common with analogous formulas proved previously for other vector…
We prove that the representations numbers of a ternary definite integral quadratic form defined over F_q[t], where F_q is a finite field of odd characteristic, determine its integral equivalence class when q is large enough with respect to…
In this ote, which has been absorbed by arXiv1702.01003, we combine a recent point-line incidence bound of Stevens and de Zeeuw with an older lemma of Bourgain, Katz and Tao to bound the number of collinear triples and quadruples in a…
In this paper, we study certain determinants over finite fields. Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of $q$ elements and let $a_1,a_2,\cdots,a_{q-1}$ be all nonzero elements of $\mathbb{F}_q$. Let…
We study the moments of $\mbox{Tr}(\Theta_\chi)$ as $\chi$ runs over Dirichlet characters defined over $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ of fixed order $r$. In particular, we show that after an appropriate normalization, the $q$-limit of the power sum…
