comment A sum-product estimate in Z/p^2Z
Since the order of the multiplicative group of ${\mathbb Z}/p^2{\mathbb Z}$ is $p(p-1)$, you should replace $p$ by $p-1$ either in the group order or in the exponent og $g$.I assume the first, since the second is not interesting at all,

Yes, I have had this dilemma in mind when I told `blowing up or away'. Sorry for being not that detailed...

I've added an explanation below the main text. Since I was to type something;), I have also added some words about a generalization.

1. Yes, I was looking for that, but it seems that the situation is harder here. 2. Yes, to find the density we need much more.

comment Are roots of transcendental elements transcendental?
And yes, we may say that $k[t]={\mathbb F}[X,Y]/(Y^2)$, $t=\overline{X}$, and $k$ is a subring generated by $a=\overline{Y}$ and $b=\overline{X}^3\overline{Y}$. Then $at^3-b=0$, but $t^2$ is transcendental.

Yes, I was wrong about the term, sorry. The polynomial is simply $at^3-b$...

comment “Box Nodes” in Directed Graphs with Paired IO Symmetry
As far as I undestand, the question may be formulated as follows. We have a digraph where each vertex has both in- and out-degrees equal to 2. $n$ independent vertices are marked (there are in/outputs of the black box), and for every permutation of the marked vertices there exists an automorphism of the graph inducing exactly this permutation. Is this what you meant?

comment The sum of same powers of all matrices modulo p
The approach is interesting. But it seems that you think there are $p^3$ matrices; in fact, there are $p^{p^2}$ of them. But you do not need so much, since there are less than $p^p$ distinct denominators (all costant terms are ones). This gives the estimate of about $2p^{p+1}$ coefficients to check. Unfortunately, now we have a half of this amount.

comment Area of a lattice polygon in terms of its width
In fact, this bound is tight. Look at the triangle wth vertices $(0,0)$, $(2,1)$ and $(1,2)$. Its area is $3/2$, while its "integral width" is 2. To see that, first notice that all its altitude lengths are greater than 1, hence it is enough to check only the vectors of length less than 2. This check is straightforward. So, what is this bounty for?

comment Area of a lattice polygon in terms of its width
You need to be a bit more careful, since the affine transforms do not preserve scalar product. So in fact you need to put the vector orthogonal to $v$ into $(-1,1)$.

comment Area of a lattice polygon in terms of its width
Considering the quadrilateral $Q$ of maximal area inscribed into $M$. THen you may pass to the parallelogram with sides parallel to the diagonals of $Q$ --- its area is at most twice the area of $M$. Hence you may restrict yourself to the lattice parallelograms only.

@domotorp: By a straightforward induction on $p$, the subset uncovered by $p$ hyperplanes, if nonempty, is an affine subspace of codimension at most $p$.
