    Full text link
    In the paper we prove a new upper bound for Heilbronn's exponential sum and obtain some applications of our result to distribution of Fermat quotients.Comment: 10 page

    Energies and structure of additive sets

    Full text link
    In the paper we prove that any sumset or difference set has large E_3 energy. Also, we give a full description of families of sets having critical relations between some kind of energies such as E_k, T_k and Gowers norms. In particular, we give criteria for a set to be a 1) set of the form H+L, where H+H is small and L has "random structure", 2) set equals a disjoint union of sets H_j, each H_j has small doubling, 3) set having large subset A' with 2A' is equal to a set with small doubling and |A'+A'| \approx |A|^4 / \E(A).Comment: 52 page
