Abstract By using a variant of the large sieve for Frobenius in compatible systems developed in [24] and [27], we obtain zero-density estimates for arguments of $\ell $-adic trace functions over finite fields with values in some algebraic subsets of the cyclotomic integers, when the monodromy groups are known. This applies in particular to hyper-Kloosterman sums and general exponential sums considered by Katz.

AbstractWe show that under certain general conditions, short sums of ℓ-adic trace functions over finite fields follow a normal distribution asymptotically when the origin varies, generalising results of Erdős–Davenport, Mak–Zaharescu and Lamzouri. In particular, this applies to exponential sums arising from Fourier transforms such as Kloosterman sums or Birch sums, as we can deduce from the works of Katz. By approximating the moments of traces of random matrices in monodromy groups, a quantitative version can be given as in Lamzouri's article, exhibiting a different phenomenon than the averaging from the central limit theorem.

In this paper we establish new estimates on sum-product sets and certain exponential sums in finite fields of prime order. Our first result is an extension of the sum-product theorem from [8] when sets of different sizes are involed. It is shown that if [Formula: see text] and pε < |B|, |C| < |A| < p1-ε, then |A + B| + |A · C| > pδ (ε)|A|. Next we exploit the Szemerédi–Trotter theorem in finite fields (also obtained in [8]) to derive several new facts on expanders and extractors. It is shown for instance that the function f(x,y) = x(x+y) from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] satisfies |F(A,B)| > pβ for some β = β (α) > α whenever [Formula: see text] and |A| ~ |B|~ pα, 0 < α < 1. The exponential sum ∑x∈ A,y∈Bεp(axy+bx2y2), ab ≠ 0 ( mod p), may be estimated nontrivially for arbitrary sets [Formula: see text] satisfying |A|, |B| > pρ where ρ < 1/2 is some constant. From this, one obtains an explicit 2-source extractor (with exponential uniform distribution) if both sources have entropy ratio at last ρ. No such examples when ρ < 1/2 seemed known. These questions were largely motivated by recent works on pseudo-randomness such as [2] and [3]. Finally it is shown that if pε < |A| < p1-ε, then always |A + A|+|A-1 + A-1| > pδ(ε)|A|. This is the finite fields version of a problem considered in [11]. If A is an interval, there is a relation to estimates on incomplete Kloosterman sums. In the Appendix, we obtain an apparently new bound on bilinear Kloosterman sums over relatively short intervals (without the restrictions of Karatsuba's result [14]) which is of relevance to problems involving the divisor function (see [1]) and the distribution ( mod p) of certain rational functions on the primes (cf. [12]).

Titchmarsh Theorem

AbstractWe extend to the setting of polynomials over a finite field certain estimates for short Kloosterman sums originally due to Karatsuba. Our estimates are then used to establish some uniformity of distribution results in the ring [x]/M(x) for collections of polynomials either of the form f−1g−1 or of the form f−1g−1 + afg, where f and g are polynomials coprime to M and of very small degree relative to M, and a is an arbitrary polynomial. We also give estimates for short Kloosterman sums where the summation runs over products of two irreducible polynomials of small degree. It is likely that this result can be used to give an improvement of the Brun-Titchmarsh theorem for polynomials over finite fields.

Confusion And Diffusion

For cryptographic systems the method of confusion and diffusion is used as a fundamental technique to achieve security. Confusion is reflected in nonlinearity of certain Boolean functions describing the cryptographic transformation. In this paper, we present two Boolean functions which have low Walsh spectra and high nonlinearity. In the proof of the nonlinearity, a new method for evaluating some exponential sums over finite fields is provided.
