We adapt the approach of Rudnev, Shakan, and Shkredov to prove that in an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$, for all $A \subset \mathbb{F}$ finite with $|A| < p^{1/4}$ if $p:= Char(\mathbb{F})$ is positive, we have $$|A(A+1)| \gtrsim |A|^{11/9},…

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…

We prove that any finite abelian group $G$ contains a collection of not too many subsets with a special structure, so that for every subset $A$ of $G$ with a small doubling, there is a member $F$ of the collection that is fully contained in…

Applying techniques similar to Combinatorial Nullstellensatz we prove a lower estimate of $|f(A,B)|$ for finite subsets $A$, $B$ of a field, and polynomial $f(x,y)$ of the form $f(x,y)=g(x)+yh(x)$, where degree of $g$ is greater then degree…

We obtain bounds on fractional parts of binary forms of the shape $$\Psi(x,y)=\alpha_k x^k+\alpha_l x^ly^{k-l}+\alpha_{l-1}x^{l-1}y^{k-l+1}+\cdots+\alpha_0 y^k$$ with $\alpha_k,\alpha_l,\ldots,\alpha_0\in\mathbb{R}$ and $l\leq k-2.$ By…

For a set $A$ of nonnegative integers, let $R_2(A,n)$ denote the number of solutions to $n=a+a'$ with $a,a'\in A$, $a<a'$. Let $A_0$ be the Thue-Morse sequence and $B_0=\mathbb{N}\setminus A_0$. Let $A\subset \mathbb{N}$ and $N$ be a…

We develop a lower bound sieve for primes under the (unlikely) assumption of infinitely many exceptional characters. Compared with the illusory sieve due to Friedlander and Iwaniec which produces asymptotic formulas, we show that less…

Consider an irreducible bilinear form $f(x_1,x_2;y_1,y_2)$ with integer coefficients. We derive an upper bound for the number of integer points $(\mathbf{x},\mathbf{y})\in\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1$ inside a box satisfying the equation…

Let $A$ and $B$ be finite subsets of $\mathbb{C}$ such that $|B|=C|A|$. We show the following variant of the sum product phenomenon: If $|AB|<\alpha|A|$ and $\alpha \ll \log |A|$, then $|kA+lB|\gg |A|^k|B|^l$. This is an application of a…

In this paper, we find a lower bound for the order of the group $\langle \theta+\alpha\rangle \subset \overline{\mathbb F_{q}}^*$, where $\alpha\in \mathbb F_{q}$, $\theta$ is a generic root of the polynomial…

Let M be a compact, connected, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold and T an incompressible torus boundary component of M such that the pair (M,T) is not cabled. In the paper "Toroidal and Klein bottle boundary slopes" [arXiv:math/0601034] by…

We show that if $A=\{a_1 < a_2 < \ldots < a_k\}$ is a set of real numbers such that the differences of the consecutive elements are distinct, then for and finite $B \subset \mathbb{R}$, $$|A+B|\gg |A|^{1/2}|B|.$$ The bound is tight up to…

We establish Burgess-type bounds for short multiplicative character sums over finite fields $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ under a purely volumetric condition. We show that for a box $B \subset \mathbb{F}_{p^n}$, nontrivial cancellation occurs whenever…

We consider the set $$\mathcal{A} = \left\{10\cdot a + 11\cdot b \ | \gcd(a,b)=1, a\geq 1, b\geq 2a+1 \right\}.$$ We will prove that $\mathcal{A}$ is unbounded and that there exists a natural number $M\notin \mathcal{A}$ for which…

We consider the function $x^{-1}$ that inverses a finite field element $x \in \mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ ($p$ is prime, $0^{-1} = 0$) and affine $\mathbb{F}_{p}$-subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ such that their images are affine subspaces as well. It…

In this paper, we give a sharp lower bound for the minimum deviation of the Chebyshev polynomial on a compact subset of the real line in terms of the corresponding logarithmic capacity. Especially if the set is the union of several real…

Given $m \in \mathbb{N}$ and a $p$-random subset $A \subseteq \mathbb{N}$, we asymptotically determine $\log \Pr(|\mathbb{N} \setminus (A + A)| \ge m)$ for $p$ above the threshold for this property. The proof is based on a bespoke container…
