Sum-Product Type Estimates over Finite Fields

Abstract: Let

m a t h b b F_{q}

denote the finite field with

q

elements where

q = p^{l}

is a prime power. Using Fourier analytic tools with a third moment method, we obtain sum-product type estimates for subsets of

m a t h b b F_{q}

. In particular, we prove that if

A s u b s e t m a t h b b F_{q}

, then

|AA+A|,|A(A+A)|ggminleft{q, frac{|A|^2}{q^{frac{1}{2}}} ight},

so that if

A g e q^{f r a c 34}

, then

| A A + A |, | A (A + A) | g g q

.
