Kloosterman sums with primes to composite moduli

Number Theory 2019-11-25 v1

Abstract

We obtain a new estimate for Kloosterman sum with primes pXp\leqslant X to composite modulo qq, that is, for the exponential sum of the type pX,  pqexp(2πiq(ap+bp)),(ab,q)=1,pp1(modq), \sum\limits_{p\leqslant X,\;p\,\nmid q}\exp{\biggl(\frac{2\pi i}{q}\bigl(a\overline{p}+bp\bigr)\,\biggr)},\quad (ab,q)=1,\quad p\overline{p}\equiv 1\pmod{q}, which is non-trivial in the case when q3/4+εXq3/2q^{\,3/4+\varepsilon}\leqslant X\ll q^{\,3/2}. We also apply this estimate to the proof of solvability of some congruences with inverse prime residues (modq)\pmod{q}.
