Uniform rationality of Poincar\'e series of p-adic equivalence relations and Igusa's conjecture on exponential sums
This thesis contains some new results on the uniform rationality of
Poincar\'e series of p-adic equivalence relations and Igusa's conjecture on
exponential sumsComment: Doctoral thesis, University of Lill
Exponential sums and polynomial congruences in two variables: the quasi-homogeneous case
We adapt ideas of Phong, Stein and Sturm and ideas of Ikromov and M\"uller
from the continuous setting to various discrete settings, obtaining sharp
bounds for exponential sums and the number of solutions to polynomial
congruences for general quasi-homogeneous polynomials in two variables. This
extends work of Denef and Sperber and also Cluckers regarding a conjecture of
Igusa in the two dimensional setting by no longer requiring the polynomial to
be nondegenerate with respect to its Newton diagram
Products of Differences over Arbitrary Finite Fields
There exists an absolute constant such that for all and all
subsets of the finite field with elements, if
, then Any suffices for sufficiently large
. This improves the condition , due to Bennett, Hart,
Iosevich, Pakianathan, and Rudnev, that is typical for such questions.
Our proof is based on a qualitatively optimal characterisation of sets for which the number of solutions to the equation is nearly
maximum.
A key ingredient is determining exact algebraic structure of sets for
which is nearly minimum, which refines a result of Bourgain and
Glibichuk using work of Gill, Helfgott, and Tao.
We also prove a stronger statement for when are sets in a prime field,
generalising a result of Roche-Newton, Rudnev, Shkredov, and the authors.Comment: 42 page
