Multidimensional Vinogradov-type Estimates in Function Fields

Abstract

Let Fq[t] denote the polynomial ring over the finite field Fq. We employ Wooley’s new efficient congruencing method to prove certain multidimensional Vinogradov-type estimates in Fq[t]. These results allow us to apply a variant of the circle method to obtain asymptotic formulas for a system connected to the problem about linear spaces lying on hypersurfaces defined over Fq[t].
