A note on bilinear exponential sums in prime fields (Q2123301)

In this note, the author gives an upper bound to a bilinear exponential sum. Namely, he proves that for any \(r \neq 0\), \[ \left|\sum_{a\in A}\sum_{b\in B}e^{2{\pi}irab/p}\right| \ll K^{3}(\log 2K)^{1/2}\left(\frac{\log\log p}{\delta^{3}\log p}\right)^{1/2}|A|^{2}, \] where \(A\) is a subset of the \(p\)-element field with cardinality \(|A| \ge p^{\delta}\) and \(|A\cdot A| = K|A|\), and \(p\) is a prime, \(\delta > 0\). The proof is based on basic Fourier analysis.
