We prove an exponential integral estimate for the quadratic partial sums of multiple Fourier series on large sets that implies some new properties of Fourier series.

We give a new bound on colinear triples in subgroups of prime finite fields and use it to give some new bounds on exponential sums with trinomials.

We adapt ideas of Phong, Stein and Sturm and ideas of Ikromov and M\"uller from the continuous setting to various discrete settings, obtaining sharp bounds for exponential sums and the number of solutions to polynomial congruences for…

We prove character sum estimates for additive Bohr subsets modulo a prime. These estimates are analogous to classical character sum bounds of Polya-Vinogradov and Burgess. These estimates are applied to obtain results on recurrence mod $p$…

We obtain new bounds of multivariate exponential sums with monomials, when the variables run over rather short intervals. Furthermore, we use the same method to derive estimates on similar sums with multiplicative characters to which…

We obtain transformation formulas for quadratic character sums with quartic and cubic polynomial arguments.

We show that the binomial and related multiplicative character sums $$ \sum_{\stackrel{x=1}{(x,p)=1}}^{p^m} \chi (x^l(Ax^k +B)^w),\hspace{3ex} \sum_{x=1}^{p^m} \chi_1 (x)\chi_2(Ax^k +B), $$ have a simple evaluation for large enough $m$ (for…

This article is an expanded version of the talk given by the first author at the conference "Exponential sums over finite fields and applications" (ETH, Z\"urich, November, 2010). We state some conjectures on archimedian and $p$-adic…

In this paper we prove that assuming Schanuel's conjecture, an exponential polynomial in one variable over the algebraic numbers has only finitely many algebraic solutions. This implies a positive answer to Shapiro's conjecture for…

We consider a problem posed by Shparlinski, of giving nontrivial bounds for rational exponential sums over the arithmetic function $\tau(n)$, counting the number of divisors of $n$. This is done using some ideas of Sathe concerning the…

We show that for any mod $2^m$ characters, $\chi_1, \chi_2,$ the complete exponential sum, $$ \sum_{x=1}^{2^m}\chi_1(x) \chi_2(Ax^k+B), $$ has a simple explicit evaluation.

We prove, for a sufficiently small subset $\mathcal{A}$ of a prime residue field, an estimate on the number of solutions to the equation $(a_1-a_2)(a_3-a_4) = (a_5-a_6)(a_7-a_8)$ with all variables in $\mathcal{A}$. We then derive new…

In this note, we presented a new decomposition of elements of finite fields of even order and illustrated that it is an effective tool in evaluation of some specific exponential sums over finite fields, the explicit value of some…

Improving and extending recent results of the author, we conditionally estimate exponential sums with Dirichlet coefficients of L-functions, both over all integers and over all primes in an interval. In particular, we establish new…

We give more evidence for Patterson's conjecture on sums of exponential sums, by getting an asymptotic for a sum of quartic exponential sums over $\Q[i].$ Previously, the strongest evidence of Patterson's conjecture over a number field is…

In the first paper of this series we established new upper bounds for multi-variable exponential sums associated with a quadratic form. The present study shows that if one adds a linear term in the exponent, the estimates can be further…

In this article, we continue our recent investigations on bilinear sums and additive energies with modular square roots. Here we improve our recent results for the case when the ranges of variables are large. We use these results to make…

We obtain new bounds on complete rational exponential sums with sparse polynomials modulo a prime, under some mild conditions on the degrees of the monomials of such polynomials. These bounds, when they apply, give explicit versions of a…

In this paper we generalize a result of Montgomery and Vaughan regarding exponential sums with multiplicative coefcients to the setting of Weyl sums. As applications, we establish a joint equidistribution result for roots of polynomial…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. Using I. M. Vinogradov's bilinear estimate, we present an elementary approach to estimate nontrivially the character sum $$ \sum_{x\in H}\chi(x+a),\qquad a\in\Bbb F_p^*, $$ where $H<\Bbb F_p^*$ is a multiplicative…
