Streszczenie
We obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of visible points , that is, with \gcd(x,y)=1, which lie in the box [1,U] \times [1,V] and also belong to the exponential modular curves y \equiv a g^x \pmod p. Among other tools, some recent results of additive combinatorics due to J. Bourgain and M. Z. Garaev play a crucial role in our argument.
