A New Bound for Kloosterman Sums

Number Theory 2007-05-23 v3 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We give generating functions for Gauss sums for finite general linear and unitary groups. For the general linear case only our method of proof is new, but we deduce a bound on Kloosterman sums which is sometimes sharper than Deligne's bound from algebraic geometry.
