Trilinear Kloosterman fractions I: partially fixed moduli and unbalanced convolutions
Abstract
In this paper, we improve on Fouvry and Radziwi{\l}{\l}'s results on unbalanced convolutions. In particular, we find that if and are sequences supported on and where is equidistributed for small moduli, then \begin{gather*}\sum_{q\sim Q}\left|\mathop{\sum\sum}_{\substack{n\sim N,m\sim M \\ mn\equiv a\pmod q}}\alpha_m\beta_n-\frac{1}{\phi(q)}\mathop{\sum\sum}_{\substack{n\sim N,m\sim M \\ (mn,q)=1}}\alpha_m\beta_n\right|\ll \frac{X}{\log^A X}, \end{gather*} as long as with , along with wider bounds for if . The former improves the allowable range of , while the latter improves the range of . To prove these new bounds, we improve Bettin and Chandee's famous result on trilinear forms with Kloosterman fractions in the case where the denominator has a fixed factor.
