Reciprocal Power Sums Modulo a Prime
by
Ernie Croot
Georgia Institute of Technology

Using a result of Bourgain, Katz, and Tao we show that for every c > 0, and for every integer k > 0, there exists an integer n such that the following holds for all sufficiently large primes p: Given r mod p, there exist n integers
x1, ..., xn  in  [1, pc],
such that
r  = =   1

x1k
+ ... +  1

xnk
mod p.
