Abstract
We present a lower bound for the classical Kloosterman sum where and is an odd integer. We apply this lower bound for Kloosterman sums to derive an explicit lower bound in Petersson's trace formula, subject to a given condition. Consequently, we achieve a modified version of a theorem by Jung and Sardari, where weight and level are permitted to vary independently. Using this modified version, we get a lower bound for a weighted trace of the Hecke operator acting on the space , of cusp forms of weight and level with .
