We study the character sums \[\phi_{(m,n)}(a,b)=\sum_{x\in\mathbb{F}_q}\phi\left(x(x^{m}+a)(x^{n}+b)\right),\textrm{ and, } \psi_{(m,n)}(a,b)=\sum_{x\in\mathbb{F}_q}\phi\left((x^{m}+a)(x^{n}+b)\right)\] where $\phi$ is the quadratic…

We prove an explicit version of Burgess' bound on character sums for composite moduli.

We present algorithms to evaluate two types of multiple sums, which appear in higher-order loop computations. We consider expansions of a generalized hypergeometric-type sums, $\sum_{n_1,...,n_N} [Gamma(a1.n+c1) Gamma(a2.n}+c2) ...…

We consider the size of large character sums, proving new lower bounds for the quantity $\Delta(N,q) = \sup_{\chi\neq \chi_0 mod q} |\sum_{n < N} \chi(n)|$ for almost all ranges of $N$. The results are proven using the resonance method and…

Two conjectures, posed by Finch-Smith, Harrington, and Wong in a paper published in Integers in $2023$, are proven. Given a monic biquadratic polynomial $f(x) = x^4 + cx^2 + e$, we prove a formula for the sum of its distinct outputs modulo…

Let $\chi$ be a non-real Dirichlet character modulo a prime $q$. In this paper we prove that the distribution of the short character sum $S_{\chi,H}(x)=\sum_{x< n\leq x+H} \chi(n)$, as $x$ runs over the positive integers below $q$,…

Let $\chi$ be an irreducible character of a group $G.$ We denote the sum of the codegrees of the irreducible characters of $G$ by $S_c(G)=\sum_{\chi\in {\rm Irr}(G)}{\rm cod}(\chi).$ We consider the question if $S_c(G)\leq S_c(C_n)$ is true…

The discrete acyclic convolution computes the 2n-1 sums sum_{i+j=k; (i,j) in [0,1,2,...,n-1]^2} (a_i b_j) in O(n log n) time. By using suitable offsets and setting some of the variables to zero, this method provides a tool to calculate all…

We obtain new bounds of exponential sums modulo a prime $p$ with sparse polynomials $a_0x^{n_0} + \cdots + a_{\nu}x^{n_\nu}$. The bounds depend on various greatest common divisors of exponents $n_0, \ldots, n_\nu$ and their differences. In…
