Waring's number for large subgroups of ℤ*ₚ*

Todd Cochrane, Derrick Hart, Christopher Pinner, Craig Spencer (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Let p be a prime, ℤₚ be the finite field in p elements, k be a positive integer, and A be the multiplicative subgroup of nonzero kth powers in ℤₚ. The goal of this paper is to determine, for a given positive integer s, a value tₛ such that if |A| ≫ tₛ then every element of ℤₚ is a sum of s kth powers. We obtain t = p 22 / 39 + ϵ , t = p 15 / 29 + ϵ and for s ≥ 6, t = p ( 9 s + 45 ) / ( 29 s + 33 ) + ϵ . For s ≥ 24 further improvements are made, such as t 32 = p 5 / 16 + ϵ and t 128 = p 1 / 4 .

Weighted uniform densities

Rita Giuliano Antonini, Georges Grekos (2007)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We introduce the concept of uniform weighted density (upper and lower) of a subset A of * , with respect to a given sequence of weights ( a n ) . This concept generalizes the classical notion of uniform density (for which the weights are all equal to 1). We also prove a theorem of comparison between two weighted densities (having different sequences of weights) and a theorem of comparison between a weighted uniform density and a weighted density in the classical sense. As a consequence, new bounds for the...
