Estimates for the number of sums and products and for exponential sums over subgroups in fields of prime order
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 337 (2003) no. 2, pp. 75-80.

Our first result is a ‘sum–product’ theorem for subsets A of the finite field 𝔽 p , p prime, providing a lower bound on max(|A+A|,|A·A|). As corollary, the second and main result provides new bounds on exponential sums associated to subgroups of the multiplicative group 𝔽 p * .

Notre premier résultat est un théorème « sommes–produits » pour des sous-ensembles A d'un corps fini 𝔽 p , p un nombre premier, donnant une minoration du max(|A+A|,|A·A|). Comme corollaire et résultat principal, on en déduit de nouvelles bornes sur les sommes exponentielles associées à des sous-groupes du groupe multiplicatif 𝔽 p * .
