Some sum-product estimates in matrix rings over finite fields

We study some sum-product problems over matrix rings. Firstly, for $A, B, C\subseteq M_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$, we have $|A+BC|\gtrsim q^{n^2},$ whenever $|A||B||C|\gtrsim q^{3n^2-\frac{n+1}{2}}$. Secondly, if a set $A$ in $M_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ satisfies $|A|\geq C(n)q^{n^2-1}$ for some sufficiently large $C(n)$, then we have $\max\{|A+A|, |AA|\}\gtrsim \min\left\{\frac{|A|^2}{q^{n^2-\frac{n+1}{4}}}, q^{n^2/3}|A|^{2/3}\right\}.$ These improve the results due to The and Vinh (2020), and generalize the results due to Mohammadi, Pham, and Wang (2021). We also give a new proof for a recent result due to The and Vinh (2020). Our method is based on spectral graph theory and linear algebra.
