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.…

We estimate the sums \[ \sum_{c\leq x} \frac{S(m,n,c,\chi)}{c}, \] where the $S(m,n,c,\chi)$ are Kloosterman sums of half-integral weight on the modular group. Our estimates are uniform in $m$, $n$, and $x$ in analogy with Sarnak and…

We prove explicit upper bounds for weighted sums over prime numbers in arithmetic progressions with slowly varying weight functions. The results generalize the well-known Brun-Titchmarsh inequality.

We establish improved bounds for bilinear forms with Kloosterman fractions of the form ${\sum\sum}_{m,n} \alpha_m \beta_n e(a\overline{m}/(bn))$ with $M<m\le 2M$, $N < n \le 2N$ and $(m,n)=1$. Our approach works directly with arbitrary…

In this paper we give an essential treatment for estimating arbitrary integral power moments of Kloosterman sums over the residue class ring. For prime moduli we derive explicit estimates, and for prime-power moduli we prove concrete…

We prove that the Kloosterman sum $S(1,1;c)$ can change sign infinitely often as $c$ runs over squarefree moduli with at most 10 prime factors, which improves the previous results of E. Fouvry and Ph. Michel, J. Sivak-Fischler and K.…

In this paper, we investigate the distribution of the maximum of partial sums of certain cubic exponential sums, commonly known as "Birch sums". Our main theorem gives upper and lower bounds (of nearly the same order of magnitude) for the…

Denote by $\pi(x;q,a)$ the number of primes $p\leqslant x$ with $p\equiv a\bmod q.$ We prove new upper bounds for $\pi(x;q,a)$ when $q$ is a large prime very close to $\sqrt{x}$, improving upon the classical work of Iwaniec (1982). The…

Let $t:\mathbb{F}_{p}\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ be a complex valued function on $\mathbb{F}_{p}$. A classical problem in analytic number theory is to bound the maximum of the absolute value of the incomplete sum \[ M(t):=\max_{0\leq…

Problems of (i) precise (exact) bound for families of hyperelliptic curves over prime finite fields and (ii) equidistribution of angles of Kloosterman sums are discussed.

We study a family of exponential sums that arises in the study of the horocyclic flow on $\mathrm{GL}_n$. We prove an explicit version of general purity and find optimal bounds for these sums.

A formula of Kuznetsov allows one to interpret a smooth sum of Kloosterman sums as a sum over the spectrum of $GL(2)$ automorphic forms. In this paper, we construct a similar formula for the first hyper-Kloosterman sums using $GL(3)$…

We formulate several analogues of the Chowla and Sarnak conjectures, which are widely known in the setting of the M\"obius function, in the setting of Kloosterman sums. We then show that for Kloosterman sums, in some cases, these…

We prove two results on Kloosterman sums over finite fields, using Stickelberger's theorem and the Gross-Koblitz formula. The first result concerns the minimal polynomial over Q of a Kloosterman sum, and the second result gives a…

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…

We investigate the solubility of the congruence xy=1 (mod p), where p is a prime and x,y are restricted to lie in suitable short intervals. Our work relies on a mean value theorem for incomplete Kloosterman sums.

A few elementary estimates of a basic character sum over the prime numbers are derived here. These estimates are nontrivial for character sums modulo large q. In addition, an omega result for character sums over the primes is also included.

We derive explicit formulas for some Kloosterman sums on $\Gamma_0(N)$, and for the Fourier coefficients of Eisenstein series attached to arbitrary cusps, around a general Atkin-Lehner cusp.

We obtain new bounds for short sums of isotypic trace functions associated to some sheaf modulo prime $p$ of bounded conductor, twisted by the Mobius function and also by the generalised divisor function. These trace functions include…

We prove non-trivial upper bounds for general bilinear forms with trace functions of bountiful sheaves, where the supports of two variables can be arbitrary subsets in $\mathbf{F}_p$ of suitable sizes. This essentially recovers the…
