Abstract
Let be a nontrivial multiplicative character of . We obtain the following results.
(1) Let be given. If is a box satisfying then for we have, denoting a nontrivial multiplicative character, unless is even, is principal on a subfield of size , and .
(2) Assume that so that Then
(3) Let be an interval with , and let be a -spaced set with . Assume that . Then for a nonprincipal multiplicative character , We also slightly improve a result of Karacuba [K3]
