Abstract

We show that the binomial and related multiplicative character sums (x,p)=1x=1pmχ(xl(Axk+B)w),x=1pmχ1(x)χ2(Axk+B), \sum_{\stackrel{x=1}{(x,p)=1}}^{p^m} \chi (x^l(Ax^k +B)^w),\hspace{3ex} \sum_{x=1}^{p^m} \chi_1 (x)\chi_2(Ax^k +B), have a simple evaluation for large enough mm (for m2m\geq 2 if pABkp\nmid ABk).
