Abstract We show that for infinitely many primes p there exist dual functions of order k over ${\mathbb{F}}_p^n$ that cannot be approximated in $L_\infty $ -distance by polynomial phase functions of degree $k-1$ . This answers in the negative a natural finite-field analogue of a problem of Frantzikinakis on $L_\infty $ -approximations of dual functions over ${\mathbb{N}}$ (a.k.a. multiple correlation sequences) by nilsequences.

AbstractGiven a positive integern, a finite fieldofqelements (qodd), and a non-degenerate symmetric bilinear formBon, we determine the largest possible cardinality of pairwiseB-orthogonal subsets, that is, for any two vectorsx,y∈ Ε, one hasB(x,y) = 0.

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.

Generalized almost perfect nonlinear (GAPN) functions were defined to satisfy some generalizations of basic properties of almost perfect nonlinear (APN) functions for even characteristic. In particular, on finite fields of even characteristic, GAPN functions coincide with APN functions. In this paper, we study monomial GAPN functions for odd characteristic. We give monomial GAPN functions whose algebraic degree are maximum or minimum on a finite field of odd characteristic. Moreover, we define a generalization of exceptional APN functions and give typical examples.

AbstractWe study Lp → Lr restriction estimates for algebraic varieties V in the case when restriction operators act on radial functions in the finite field setting. We show that if the varieties V lie in odd dimensional vector spaces over finite fields, then the conjectured restriction estimates are possible for all radial test functions. In addition, assuming that the varieties V are defined in even dimensional spaces and have few intersection points with the sphere of zero radius, we also obtain the conjectured exponents for all radial test functions.

In order to extend the results of [Formula: see text] in [P. Das, The number of permutation polynomials of a given degree over a finite field, Finite Fields Appl. 8(4) (2002) 478–490], where [Formula: see text] is a prime, to arbitrary finite fields [Formula: see text], we find a formula for the number of permutation polynomials of degree [Formula: see text] over a finite field [Formula: see text], which has [Formula: see text] elements, in terms of the permanent of a matrix. We write down an expression for the number of permutation polynomials of degree [Formula: see text] over a finite field [Formula: see text], using the permanent of a matrix whose entries are [Formula: see text]th roots of unity and using this we obtain a nontrivial bound for the number. Finally, we provide a formula for the number of permutation polynomials of degree [Formula: see text] less than [Formula: see text].
