Solubility of Additive Forms of Twice Odd Degree over
Drew Duncan, David B. Leep
We prove that an additive form of degree , odd, , over the unramified quadratic extension has a nontrivial zero if the number of variables…

Further Improvements to the Chevalley-Warning Theorems
David B. Leep, Rachel L. Petrik
We study lower bound estimates for the number of solutions of systems of equations over finite fields. Heath-Brown improved the lower bounds given by the classical \emph{Chevalley-…

Solubility of Additive Quartic Forms over Ramified Quadratic Extensions of
Drew Duncan, David B. Leep
We determine the minimal number of variables which guarantees a nontrivial solution for every additive form of degree over the four ramified quadratic extensions…
