Abstract

Let $G_1,\dots, G_n\in \mathbb{F}_p[X_1,\dots,X_m]$ be $n$ polynomials in $m$ variables over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ of $p$ elements. For any sufficiently large prime $p$ and non-trivial bounds for the Weyl sums associated to the non-trivial linear combinations of $G=(G_1,\dots, G_n)$, we study various properties regarding the distribution of the vectors by fractional parts \begin{equation*} \bigg(\bigg\{ \frac{G_1(\textbf{x})}{p}\bigg\},\cdots,\bigg\{ \frac{G_n(\textbf{x})}{p}\bigg\}\bigg)\in \mathbb{T}^n,\hspace{10pt} \textbf{x}\in \mathbb{F}_p^m. \end{equation*} We prove refinements of equidistribution, such as bounds for the ball discrepancy and variance.
