Abstract

We obtain a new bound on exponential sums over integers without large prime divisors, improving that of Fouvry and Tenenbaum (1991). For a fixed integer ν0\nu\ne 0, we also obtain new bounds on exponential sums with ν\nu-th powers of such integers. The improvement is based on exploiting more precisely the factorisation of integers without large prime divisors, along with existing Type~I and Type~II bounds. For ν=1\nu=1 we use the classical bounds of Vinogradov (1937), while for ν1\nu\neq 1 we use bounds of Vaughan (1975) as well as of Fouvry, Kowalski and Michel (2014).
