Three-term polynomial progressions in subsets of finite fields

Published 19 Jul 2017 in math.NT and math.CO | (1707.05977v2)

Abstract: Bourgain and Chang recently showed that any subset of $\mathbb{F}p$ of density $\gg p{-1/15}$ contains a nontrivial progression $x,x+y,x+y2$. We answer a question of theirs by proving that if $P_1,P_2\in\mathbb{Z}[y]$ are linearly independent and satisfy $P_1(0)=P_2(0)=0$, then any subset of $\mathbb{F}_p$ of density $\gg{P_1,P_2}p{-1/24}$ contains a nontrivial polynomial progression $x,x+P_1(y),x+P_2(y)$.
