Energy Estimation of the Hamming Slice and its Applications
Abstract
Let R=ℤ/(2n−1)ℤ, where n≥ 3, and let Sw⊆ R be the residues whose canonical n-digit binary expansion has Hamming weight w. We obtain, in particular, an asymptotic formula for the additive energy of Sw E(Sw)=|Sw|4/|R|+ 𝒪(|R|3 n−3 ), which holds uniformly in w. The error term is optimal in order, with a matching lower bound for w=⌊ n/2+√n ⌋. It follows that triple sums of arbitrary unit dilates have asymptotically uniform representation counts when ∏j=13 |Swj | /(|R| n−3/5)3→∞, and that double sums have asymptotically full support when |Sw1| |Sw2 |/(|R| n−3/4)2→∞. In the proof, modular collisions are represented using a cyclic binary carry automaton; this appears to be a novel approach in this area of problems.

AB - Let R=ℤ/(2^n−1)ℤ, where n≥ 3, and let S_w⊆ R be the residues whose canonical n-digit binary expansion has Hamming weight w. We obtain, in particular, an asymptotic formula for the additive energy of S_w E(S_w)=|S_w|^4/|R|+ 𝒪(|R|^3 n^−3 ), which holds uniformly in w. The error term is optimal in order, with a matching lower bound for w=⌊ n/2+√n ⌋. It follows that triple sums of arbitrary unit dilates have asymptotically uniform representation counts when ∏_j=1^3 |S_w_j | /(|R| n^−3/5)^3→∞, and that double sums have asymptotically full support when |S_w_1| |S_w_2 |/(|R| n^−3/4)^2→∞. In the proof, modular collisions are represented using a cyclic binary carry automaton; this appears to be a novel approach in this area of problems.
