Nearly-polynomial inverse theorem for the U^d norm in degree d+1Tomer Milo, Guy Moshkovitz
We prove a nearly polynomial inverse theorem for the Gowers $U^d$ norm, over finite fields of non-small characteristic, for polynomials of degree $d+1$. The case of degree $d$ was very recently settled by MiliÄeviÄ and RandeloviÄ with a fully polynomial bound. We moreover provide a nearly polynomial inverse theorem for homogeneous polynomials of any degree smaller than $2d$.
