Abstract
In this paper, we study expanding phenomena in the setting of matrix rings. More precisely, we will prove that
- if A is a set of M2(Fq) and |A|≫q7/2, then |A(A+A)|,|A+AA|≫q4,
- if A is a set of SL2(𝔽q) and |A|≫q5/2, then |A(A+A)|,|A+AA|≫q4.
We also obtain similar results for the cases of A(B+C) and A+BC, where A,B,C are sets in M2(𝔽q).
