contents Let $k \geq 2$, $q$ be an odd prime power, and $F \in \mathbb{F}_q[x_1, \ldots, x_k]$ be a polynomial. An $F$-Diophantine set over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is a set $A \subset \mathbb{F}_q^*$ such that $F(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k)$ is a square in $\mathbb{F}_q$ whenever $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k$ are distinct elements in $A$. In this paper, we provide a strategy to construct a large $F$-Diophantine set, provided that $F$ has a nice property in terms of its monomial expansion. In particular, when $F=x_1x_2\ldots x_k+1$, our construction gives a $k$-Diophantine tuple over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with size $\gg_k \log q$, significantly improving the $Θ((\log q)^{1/(k-1)})$ lower bound in a recent paper by Hammonds-Kim-Miller-Nigam-Onghai-Saikia-Sharma.

Let $k \geq 2$, $q$ be an odd prime power, and $F \in \mathbb{F}_q[x_1, \ldots, x_k]$ be a polynomial. An $F$-Diophantine set over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is a set $A \subset \mathbb{F}_q^*$ such that $F(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k)$ is a square in $\mathbb{F}_q$ whenever $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k$ are distinct elements in $A$. In this paper, we provide a strategy to construct a large $F$-Diophantine set, provided that $F$ has a nice property in terms of its monomial expansion. In particular, when $F=x_1x_2\ldots x_k+1$, our construction gives a $k$-Diophantine tuple over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with size $\gg_k \log q$, significantly improving the $Θ((\log q)^{1/(k-1)})$ lower bound in a recent paper by Hammonds-Kim-Miller-Nigam-Onghai-Saikia-Sharma.
