Abstract

We improve a recent result of B. Hanson [Estimates for character sums with various convolutions. Preprint, 2015, arXiv:1509.04354] on multiplicative character sums with expressions of the type $a+b+cd$ and variables $a,b,c,d$ from four distinct sets of a finite field. We also consider similar sums with $a+b(c+d)$ . Our new bounds rely on some recent advances in additive combinatorics.
