Abstract: For a prime p, a Diophantine m-tuple in $mathbb{F}_p$ is a set of m nonzero elements of $mathbb{F}_p$ with the property that the product of any two of its distinct elements is one less than a square. In this paper, we present formulas for the number $N^{(m)}(p)$ of Diophantine m-tuples in $mathbb{F}_p$ for m=2,3 and 4. Fourier coefficients of certain modular forms appear in the formula for the number of Diophantine quadruples. We prove that asymptotically $N^{(m)}(p)=frac12^{mchoose2}frac{p}^{m}m!+o(p^m)$, and also show that if $p>2^{2m-2}{m}^2$, then there is at least one Diophantine m-tuple in $mathbb{F}_p$.
