Extension theorems associated with general varieties in two dimensional vector spaces over finite fields are studied. Applying Bezout's theorem, the authors obtain the following result. Theorem 1.1. Let \(\mathbb {F}_q\) denote a finite field with \(q\) elements where we assume that \(q\) is a power of an odd prime. Suppose that \(P(x)\in \mathbb{F}_q[x_1,x_2]\) is a non-zero polynomial. Define an algebraic variety \(V\subset \mathbb{F}_q^2\) by \(V=\{x\in\mathbb{F}_q^2: P(x)=0\}\). Then, an \(L^2-L^4\) extension estimate related to \(V\) holds if and only if the polynomial \(P(x)\) does not have any linear factor and there exist \(C,c>0\) depending only on the degree of \(P(x)\) such that \(cq\leq |V|\leq Cq\). Here \(|V|\) denotes the cardinality of \(V\). Theorem 1.1 is a generalization of the sharp extension theorems for the parabola and the non-degenerate quadratic curves due to Mockenhaupt-Tao and Iosevich-Koh, respectively. As an application of the sharp extension estimates, the authors study the Falconer distance problems in two dimensions.
