We study bounds for algebraic twists sums of automorphic coefficients by trace functions of composite moduli.

The Burgess inequality is the best upper bound we have for the character sum $S_{\chi}(M,N) = \sum_{M<n\le M+N} \chi(n).$ Until recently, no explicit estimates had been given for the inequality. In 2006, Booker gave an explicit estimate for…

We extend the classical Burgess estimates to character sums over proper generalized arithmetic progressions (GAPs) of rank $2$ in prime fields $\mathbb{F}_p$. The core of our proof is a sharp upper bound for the multiplicative energy of…

We estimate weighted character sums with determinants $ad-bc $ of $2\times 2$ matrices modulo a prime $p$ with entries $a,b,c,d $ varying over the interval $ [1,N]$. Our goal is to obtain nontrivial bounds for values of $N$ as small as…

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 give an explicit version of a result due to D. Burgess. Let $\chi$ be a non-principal Dirichlet character modulo a prime $p$. We show that the maximum number of consecutive integers for which $\chi$ takes on a particular value is less…

We obtain nontrivial bounds for character sums with multiplicative and additive characters over finite fields over elements with restricted coordinate expansion. In particular, we obtain a nontrivial estimate for such a sum over a finite…

We make explicit a theorem of Fromm and Goldmakher [arXiv:1706.03002], which states that one can improve Burgess' bound for short character sums simply by improving the leading constant in the P\'{o}lya-Vinogradov inequality. Towards…

Let $p$ be a prime. We prove bounds on short Dirichlet character sums evaluated at a class of homogeneous polynomials in arbitrary dimensions. In every dimension, this bound is nontrivial for sums over boxes with side lengths as short as…

We provide an index bound for character sums of polynomials over finite fields. This improves the Weil bound for high degree polynomials with small indices, as well as polynomials with large indices that are generated by cyclotomic mappings…

We develop closed form expressions for various finite binomial Fibonacci and Lucas sums depending on the modulo 5 nature of the upper summation limit. Our expressions are inferred from some trigonometric identities.

We establish a new bound for short character sums in finite fields, particularly over two-dimensional grids in $\mathbb{F}_{p^3}$ and higher-dimensional lattices in $\mathbb{F}_{p^d}$, extending an earlier work of Mei-Chu Chang on Burgess…

We give new, explicit and asymptotically sharp, lower bounds for dimensions of irreducible modular representations of finite symmetric groups.

Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we evaluate sharp upper bounds for the shifted moments of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions with moduli 8p, where p ranges over odd primes. We then apply this result to prove bounds for the moments…

We extend the recent Solymosi's sum-product estimate for reals to the complex case.

We estimate mixed character sums of polynomial values over elements of a finite field $\mathbb F_{q^r}$ with sparse representations in a fixed ordered basis over the subfield $\mathbb F_q$. First we use a combination of the…

We estimate double sums $$ S_\chi(a, I, G) = \sum_{x \in I} \sum_{\lambda \in G} \chi(x + a\lambda), \qquad 1\le a < p-1, $$ with a multiplicative character $\chi$ modulo $p$ where $I= \{1,\ldots, H\}$ and $G$ is a subgroup of order $T$ of…

Following the work of Hildebrand we improve the Po'lya- Vinogradov inequality in a specific range, we also give a general result that shows its dependency on Burgess bound and at last we improve the range of validity for a special case of…

Let $g$ be a fixed Hecke cusp form for $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ and $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character of conductor $M$. The best known subconvex bound for $L(1/2,g\otimes \chi)$ is of Burgess strength. The bound was proved by a…

We improve an existing result on exponential quadrilinear sums in the case of sums over multiplicative subgroups of a finite field and use it to give a new bound on exponential sums with quadrinomials.
