We study p-adic hyper-Kloosterman sums, a generalization of the Kloosterman sum with a parameter k that recovers the classical Kloosterman sum when k=2, over general p-adic rings and even equal characteristic local rings. These can be…

We develop a new method for studying sums of Kloosterman sums related to the spectral exponential sum. As a corollary, we obtain a new proof of the estimate of Soundararajan and Young for the error term in the prime geodesic theorem.

We prove a bound for quintilinear sums of Kloosterman sums, with congruence conditions on the "smooth" summation variables. This generalizes classical work of Deshouillers and Iwaniec, and is key to obtaining power-saving error terms in…

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 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.

We define the Kloosterman sum for $SL_4$ over the Kloosterman set via the Bruhat decomposition and stratify the Kloosterman set using the reduced word decomposition of the Weyl group element. The Kloosterman sum for an $SL_4$-long word is…

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…

Sums of Kloosterman sums have deep connections with the theory of modular forms, and their estimation has many important consequences. Kuznetsov used his famous trace formula and got a power-saving estimate with respect to $x$ with implied…

We establish nontrivial bounds for bilinear sums involving the M\"obius function evaluated over solutions to a broad class of equations. Several of our results may be regarded as M\"obius-function analogues of the ternary Goldbach problem.…

In this paper power saving bounds for general Kloosterman sums for all Weyl elements for $\mathrm{GL}_n$ for $n>2$ are proven, improving the trivial bound by D\k{a}browski and Reeder. This is achieved by representing the sums in an explicit…

Let $q$ be a positive integer, $\chi$ a nontrivial character mod $q$, $\mathcal{I}$ an interval of length not exceeding $q.$ In this paper we shall study the character sum analogue of the well-known Kloosterman…

By some SL(2, Z) modular forms introduced in [11] and [4] , we get some interesting anomaly cancellation formulas. As corollaries, we get some divisibility results of index of twisted Dirac operators.

We prove that the Kloosterman sum $\text{Kl}(1,q)$ changes sign infinitely many times, as $q\rightarrow +\infty$ with at most six prime factors. As a consequence, our result improved the best known result of Xi(IMRN, 2022). The novelty of…

In the paper, we establish a new estimate for Kloosterman sum over primes with respect to an arbitrary modulus $q$. This estimate together with some recent results of the second author are applied to the problem of solvability of the…

We give generating functions for Gauss sums for finite general linear and unitary groups. For the general linear case only our method of proof is new, but we deduce a bound on Kloosterman sums which is sometimes sharper than Deligne's bound…

Let $\mathcal{K}(a)$ denote the Kloosterman sum on the finite field of order $2^n$. We give a simple characterization of $\mathcal{K}(a)$ modulo 16, in terms of the trace of $a$ and one other function. We also give a characterization of…

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 stratify the $\mathrm{SL}_3$ big cell Kloosterman sets using the reduced word decomposition of the Weyl group element, inspired by the Bott-Samelson factorization. Thus the $\mathrm{SL}_3$ long word Kloosterman sum is decomposed into…

In this paper we show how the GL(N) Voronoi summation formula of [MiSc2] can be rewritten to incorporate hyper-Kloosterman sums of various dimensions on both sides. This generalizes a formula for GL(4) with ordinary Kloosterman sums on both…

Small cancellation groups form an interesting class with many desirable properties. It is a well-known fact that small cancellation groups are generic; however, all previously known results of their genericity are asymptotic and provide no…
