Abstract

Let $p$ be a large prime number, $h \gt 0$ and $s$ be integers, and $\mathcal {X}\subseteq [1,h]\cap \mathbb {Z}$. Following the work of Bourgain et al. (2013), we obtain nontrivial upper bounds for the number of solutions to the congruence $$ \prod \limits _{i=1}^4(x_i+s)\equiv \prod \limits _{j=1}^4(y_j+s)\not \equiv 0 \pmod {p},\ \quad x_i,y_j\in \mathcal {X}. $$ We apply these bounds to obtain new results on the number of integer points on exponential curves modulo a prime.
