Abstract In this paper we study the extension problem, the averaging problem, and the generalized Erdős-Falconer distance problem associated with arbitrary homogeneous varieties in three dimensional vector spaces over finite fields. In the case when the varieties do not contain any plane passing through the origin, we obtain the best possible results on the aforementioned three problems. In particular, our result on the extension problem modestly generalizes the result by Mockenhaupt and Tao who studied the particular conical extension problem. In addition, investigating the Fourier decay on homogeneous varieties enables us to give complete mapping properties of averaging operators. Moreover, we improve the size condition on a set such that the cardinality of its distance set is nontrivial.

In this paper, we give a proof of the result of Iosevich and Rudnev [Erdös distance problem in vector spaces over finite fields, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 359 (2007) 6127–6142] on the analog of the Erdös–Falconer distance problem in the case of a finite field of characteristic [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is an odd prime, without using estimates for Kloosterman sums. We also address the case of characteristic 2.

We use exponential sums to obtain new lower bounds on the number of distinct distances defined by all pairs of points (a, b) ∈ A × B for two given sets where is a finite field of q elements and n ≥ 1 is an integer.

Abstract Let $G_1, \ldots , G_k$ be finite-dimensional vector spaces over a prime field $\mathbb {F}_p$ . A multilinear variety of codimension at most $d$ is a subset of $G_1 \times \cdots \times G_k$ defined as the zero set of $d$ forms, each of which is multilinear on some subset of the coordinates. A map $\phi$ defined on a multilinear variety $B$ is multilinear if for each coordinate $c$ and all choices of $x_i \in G_i$ , $i\not =c$ , the restriction map $y \mapsto \phi (x_1, \ldots , x_{c-1}, y, x_{c+1}, \ldots , x_k)$ is linear where defined. In this note, we show that a multilinear map defined on a multilinear variety of codimension at most $d$ coincides on a multilinear variety of codimension $O_{k}(d^{O_{k}(1)})$ with a multilinear map defined on the whole of $G_1\times \cdots \times G_k$ . Additionally, in the case of general finite fields, we deduce similar (but slightly weaker) results.
