Abstract

We study lower bound estimates for the number of solutions of systems of equations over finite fields. Heath-Brown improved the lower bounds given by the classical Chevalley-Warning Theorems by excluding systems of equations whose solutions form an affine space. We improve each of Heath-Brown's results and demonstrate sharpness in several cases.
