A special case of the Menshov--Rademacher theorem implies for almost all polynomials $x_1Z+\ldots +x_d Z^{d} \in {\mathbb R}[Z]$ of degree $d$ for the Weyl sums satisfy the upper bound $$ \left| \sum_{n=1}^{N}\exp\left(2\pi i \left(x_1…

We show that the system of equations \begin{align*} \sum_{i=1}^s (x_i^j-y_i^j) = a_j \qquad (1 \le j \le k) \end{align*} has appreciably fewer solutions in the subcritical range $s < k(k+1)/2$ than its homogeneous counterpart, provided that…

This paper establishes power-saving bounds for Kloosterman sums associated with the long Weyl element for GL(n), as well as for another type of Weyl element of order 2. These bounds are obtained by establishing an explicit representation as…

We obtain several estimates for bilinear form with exponential sums with binomials $mx^k + nx^\ell$. In particular we show the existence of nontrivial cancellations between such sums when the coefficients $m$ and $n$ vary over rather sparse…

We study Kloosterman sums on the orthogonal groups $SO_{3,3}$ and $SO_{4,2}$, associated to short elements of their respective Weyl groups. An explicit description for these sums is obtained in terms of multi-dimensional exponential sums.…

Wolstenholme's type summations involve certain powers of all residues $k$ modulo some prime number $p$. We first consider the sums of double or triple products of certain powers of all residues, e.g., the sums of the terms $(a+k)^m(b+k)^n$…

The Weil sum $W_{K,d}(a)=\sum_{x \in K} \psi(x^d + a x)$ where $K$ is a finite field, $\psi$ is an additive character of $K$, $d$ is coprime to $|K^\times|$, and $a \in K^\times$ arises often in number-theoretic calculations, and in…

This paper introduces a general technique for estimating the absolute value of pure Gaussian sums of order k over a prime p for a class of composite order k. The new estimate improves the classical estimate by a factor of about 2 or better…

We provide new estimates for smooth Weyl sums on minor arcs and explore their consequences for the distribution of the fractional parts of $\alpha n^k$. In particular, when $k\ge 6$ and $\rho(k)$ is defined via the relation…

This is an expository account of the proof of the theorem of Bourgain, Glibichuk and Konyagin which provides non-trivial bounds for exponential sums over very small multiplicative subgroups of prime finite fields.

We obtain new estimates - both upper and lower bounds - on the mean values of the Weyl sums over a small box inside of the unit torus. In particular, we refine recent conjectures of C. Demeter and B. Langowski (2022), and improve some of…

The article presents mathematical generalization of results which originated as solutions of practical problems, in particular, the modeling of transitional processes in electrical circuits and problems of resource allocation. However, the…

We construct a general quantization procedure for square integrable functions on well-behaved connected exponential Lie groups. The Lie groups in question should admit at least one co-adjoint orbit of maximal possible dimension. The…

In recent years, maximizing G\'al sums regained interest due to a firm link with large values of $L$-functions. In the present paper, we initiate an investigation of small sums of G\'al type, with respect to the $L^1$-norm. We also consider…

We give a combinatorial proof of a formula giving the partial sums of the $k$-bonacci sequence as alternating sums of powers of two multiplied by binomial coefficients. As a corollary we obtain a formula for the $k$-bonacci numbers.
