Abstract

We obtain new upper bounds for the number of integral solutions of a complete system of symmetric equations, which may be viewed as a multi-dimensional version of the system considered in Vinogradov's mean value theorem. We then use these bounds to obtain Weyl-type estimates for an associated exponential sum in several variables. Finally, we apply the Hardy–Littlewood method to obtain asymptotic formulas for the number of solutions of the Vinogradov-type system and also of a related system connected to the problem of finding linear spaces on hypersurfaces.
