Abstract:
We study the Lp−Lr boundedness of the extension operators associated with paraboloids in vector spaces over finite fields. We estimate the number of additive quadruples in the subset of the paraboloids. As a result, in higher dimensions, we improve upon the standard Stein-Tomas exponents.The discrete Fourier analytic machinery and Gauss sum estimates make an important role in the proof.
