Sumsets of reciprocals in prime fields and multilinear Kloosterman sums (1211.4184v1)

Abstract: We obtain new results on additive properties of the set $$ I^{-1}= {x^{-1}: \quad x\in I} $$ where $I$ is an arbitrary interval in the field of residue classes modulo a large prime $p$. We combine our results with multilinear exponential sum estimates and obtain new results on incomplete multilinear Kloosterman sums.
