Résumé

In this paper, we prove a new point-sphere incidence bound in vector spaces over finite fields. More precisely, let $P$ be a set of points and $S$ be a set of spheres in $𝔽_{q}^{d}$ . Suppose that $| P |, | S | \leq N$ , we prove that the number of incidences between $P$ and $S$ satisfies

I (P, S) \leq N^{2} q^{- 1} + q^{\frac{d - 1}{2}} N,

under some conditions on $d, q$ , and radii. This improves the known upper bound $N^{2} q^{- 1} + q^{\frac{d}{2}} N$ in the literature. As an application, we show that for $A \subset 𝔽_{q}$ with $q^{1 / 2} ≪ | A | ≪ q^{\frac{d^{2} + 1}{2 d^{2}}}$ , one has

max \{| A + A |, | d A^{2} |\} ≫ \frac{{| A |}^{d}}{q^{\frac{d - 1}{2}}} .

This improves earlier results on this sum-product type problem over arbitrary finite fields.
