Abstract:We study the restriction of the Fourier transform to quadratic surfaces in vector spaces over finite fields. In two dimensions, we obtain the sharp result by considering the sums of arbitrary two elements in the subset of quadratic surfaces on two dimensional vector spaces over finite fields. For higher dimensions, we estimate the decay of the Fourier transform of the characteristic functions on quadratic surfaces so that we obtain the Tomas-Stein exponent. Using incidence theorems, we also study the extension… Show more
“…Recall that if d = 2, then the exponent 4/3 gives a much better result than the exponent (d + 1)/2 which is optimal for odd dimensions. When d ≥ 3, the L 2 − L (2d+2)/(d−1) extension result for spheres is also known in [10] and can be also applied to the Erdős-Falconer distance problem but we can only obtain the exponent (d + 1)/2.…”

“…The extension problem for spheres is more delicate than that of paraboloids, and it was studied by Iosevich and Koh. In [10], they obtained the sharp L 2 − L 4 extension result for circles, which the authors of [2] applied to deduce the exponent 4/3 for the Erdős-Falconer distance problem in dimension two. Recall that if d = 2, then the exponent 4/3 gives a much better result than the exponent (d + 1)/2 which is optimal for odd dimensions.…”

Abstract. For a set E ⊂ F d q , we define the k-resultant magnitude set asIn this paper we find a connection between a lower bound of the cardinality of the k-resultant magnitude set and the restriction theorem for spheres in finite fields. As a consequence, it is shown that if +ε for ε > 0, then |∆ 3 (E)| ≥ cq.

“…We note that a smaller exponent gives a better extension result. The first result in Proposition 1.1 was given in [6] and it gives the Stein-Tomas result, the L 2 → L (2d+2)/(d−1) bound. It is well known in [7] that the Stein-Tomas result gives the optimal L 2 → L r estimate for spheres in general odd dimensions.…”
We study the finite field Fourier restriction/extension problem for spheres in even dimensions d ≥ 4. We prove that the L p → L 4 extension estimate for spheres of non-zero radii holds for 4d 3d−2 ≤ p ≤ ∞. Our result is sharp and improves the L (12d−8)/(9d−12)+ε → L 4 extension result for all ε > 0 due to the first and second listed authors [7]. The key new ingredient is improved additive energy estimates for subsets of spheres in even dimensions. In particular, our additive energy estimate improves and extends Rudnev's recent work [15] in four dimensions to higher even dimensions.As the most interesting result of this paper, we prove that if −1 is not a square number of F * q and the dimension d is 4k + 2 for some k ∈ N, then the L 2 → L (2d+4)/d extension estimate for spheres of zero radius holds. This result is also sharp and provides us of an interesting fact that the L 2 → L r extension estimate for zero spheres with specific assumptions is much better than the Stein-Tomas result which can not be improved in general for cones or zero spheres in even dimensions.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 52C10, 42B05, 11T23 .
“…See, for example, [6,7,9]. Mockenhaupt and Tao [9] first posed the extension problems in the finite field setting for various algebraic varieties S and they obtained reasonably good results from extension problems for paraboloids in d-dimensional vector spaces over finite fields.…”
In this paper we study the L p − L r boundedness of the extension operators associated with paraboloids in F d q , where F q is a finite field of q elements. In even dimensions d ≥ 4, we estimate the number of additive quadruples in the subset E of the paraboloids, that is the number of quadruples (x, y, z, w) ∈ E 4 with x + y = z + w. As a result, in higher even dimensions, we obtain the sharp range of exponents p for which the extension operator is bounded, independently of q, from L p to L 4 in the case when −1 is a square number in F q . Using the sharp L p − L 4 result, we improve upon the range of exponents r , for which the L 2 − L r estimate holds, obtained by Mockenhaupt and Tao (Duke Math 121: 2004) in even dimensions d ≥ 4. In addition, assuming that −1 is not a square number in F q , we extend their work done in three dimension to specific odd dimensions d ≥ 7. The discrete Fourier analytic machinery and Gauss sum estimates make an important role in the proof.
