A sum-product theorem in function fields

Abstract: Let

A

be a finite subset of

f f i e l d

, the field of Laurent series in

1 / t

over a finite field

m a t h b b F_{q}

. We show that for any

e p s i l o n > 0

there exists a constant

C

dependent only on

e p s i l o n

and

q

such that

m a x | A + A |, | A A | g e q C | A |^{6 / 5 - e p s i l o n}

. In particular such a result is obtained for the rational function field

m a t h b b F_{q} (t)

. Identical results are also obtained for finite subsets of the

p

-adic field

m a t h b b Q_{p}

for any prime

p

.
