Abstract

We obtain the exact value of the Hausdorff dimension of the set of coefficients of Gauss sums which for a given α(1/2,1)\alpha \in (1/2,1) achieve the order at least NαN^{\alpha} for infinitely many sum lengths NN. For Weyl sums with polynomials of degree d3d\ge 3 we obtain a new upper bound on the Hausdorff dimension of the set of polynomial coefficients corresponding to large values of Weyl sums. Our methods also work for monomial sums, match the previously known lower bounds, just giving exact value for the corresponding Hausdorff dimension when α\alpha is close to 11. We also obtain a nearly tight bound in a similar question with arbitrary integer sequences of polynomial growth.
