Arithmetic theory of polynomial rings over finite fields (11T55)

Abstract: In this article we study the asymptotic behaviour of the correlation functions over polynomial ring $mathbb{F}_q[x]$. Let $mathcal{M}_{n,q}$ and $mathcal{P}_{n,q}$ be the set of all monic polynomials and monic irreducible polynomials of degree $n$ over $mathbb{F}_q$ respectively. For multiplicative functions $ps{i}_1$ and $ps{i}_2$ on $mathbb{F}_q[x]$, we obtain asymptotic formula for the following correlation functions for a fixed $q$ and $noinfty$ �egin{align*} &S_{2}(n, q):=displaystylesum_{fin mathcal{M}_{n, q}}psi_1(f+h_1) psi_2(f+h_2), \ &R_2(n, q):=displaystylesum_{Pin mathcal{P}_{n, q}}psi_1(P+h_1)psi_2(P+h_2), end{align*} where $h_1,h_2$ are fixed polynomials of degree $<n$ over $mathbb{F}_q$. As a consequence, for real valued additive functions $ildeps{i}_1$ and $ildeps{i}_2$ on $mathbb{F}_q[x]$ we show that for a fixed $q$ and $noinfty$, the following distribution functions �egin{align*} &frac{1}{|mathcal{M}_{n, q}|}Big|{fin mathcal{M}_{n, q} : ilde{psi_1}(f+h_1)+ ilde{psi_2}(f+h_2)leq x}Big|,\ & frac{1}{|mathcal{P}_{n, q}|}Big|{Pin mathcal{P}_{n, q} : ilde{psi_1}(P+h_1)+ ilde{psi_2}(P+h_2)leq x}Big| end{align*} converges weakly towards a limit distribution.
