We show that, for sufficiently large integers $m$ and $X$, for almost all $a =1, ..., m$ the ratios $a/x$ and the products $ax$, where $|x|\le X$, are very uniformly distributed in the residue ring modulo $m$. This extends some recent…

In this paper, we first find the distribution of nth power residues modulo a prime $p$ by analyzing sums involving Dirichlet characters. We then extend this method to characterize the distribution of powers in arbitrary finite fields.

We study odd numbers through a straightforward indexing. We focus in particular on odd prime and composite numbers and their distribution. With a counting argument, we calculate the limit of two sums and compare their convergence rate.

Linear codes with a few weights have wide applications in information security, data storage systems, consuming electronics and communication systems. Construction of the linear codes with a few weights and determination of their parameters…

We investigate the average number of representations of a positive integer as the sum of $k + 1$ perfect $k$-th powers of primes. We extend recent results of Languasco and the last Author, which dealt with the case $k = 2$ [6] and $k = 3$…

Using a probabilistic model, based on random walks on the additive group $\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}$, we prove that the values of certain real character sums are uniformly distributed in residue classes modulo $m$.

We show that a twisted variant of Linnik's conjecture on sums of Kloosterman sums leads to an optimal covering exponent for $S^3$.

Traces of singular moduli can be approximated by exponential sums of quadratic irrationals. Recently Andersen and Duke used theory of Maass forms to estimate generalized twisted traces with power-saving error bounds. We establish an…

We obtain the estimate of incomplete Kloosterman sum to powerful modulus $q$. The length $N$ of the sum lies in the interval $e^{c(\log{q})^{2/3}}\le N\le \sqrt{q}$.

We study pairs of consecutive odd numbers through a straightforward indexing. We focus in particular on twin primes and their distribution. With a counting argument, we calculate the limit of an alternating sum that is equal to 1 which…

For all positive powers of primes $p\geq 5$, we prove the existence of infinitely many linear congruences between the exponents of twisted Borcherds products arising from a suitable scalar-valued weight $1/2$ weakly holomorphic modular form…

In the previous paper [Sun23], the author proved a uniform bound for sums of half-integral weight Kloosterman sums. This bound was applied to prove an exact formula for partitions of rank modulo 3. That uniform estimate provides a more…

In a recent work by Charpin, Helleseth, and Zinoviev Kloosterman sums $K(a)$ over a finite field $\F_{2^m}$ were evaluated modulo 24 in the case $m$ odd, and the number of those $a$ giving the same value for $K(a)$ modulo 24 was given. In…

In this paper, we investigate the distribution of the maximum of partial sums of families of $m$-periodic complex valued functions satisfying certain conditions. We obtain precise uniform estimates for the distribution function of this…

We revisit a recent bound of I. Shparlinski and T. P. Zhang on bilinear forms with Kloosterman sums, and prove an extension for correlation sums of Kloosterman sums against Fourier coefficients of modular forms. We use these bounds to…

We study the average of the product of the central values of two $L$-functions of modular forms $f$ and $g$ twisted by Dirichlet characters to a large prime modulus $q$. As our principal tools, we use spectral theory to develop bounds on…

We prove a non-trivial bound for $\operatorname{Sp}(2n)$ Kloosterman sums of moduli not equal to a prime multiple of the identity. These sums are attached to Siegel modular forms on the group $\operatorname{Sp}(2n)$ and appear in the…
