In this paper, we study the $L^p$ maximal estimates for the Weyl sums $\sum_{n=1}^{N}e^{2\pi i(nx + n^{k}t)}$ with higher-order $k\ge3$ on $\mathbb{T}$, and obtain the positive and negative results. Especially for the case $k=3$, our result…

Let $S(x,t)$ denote the Weyl sum with associated polynomial $xn + tn^2$. Suppose that $|S(x,t)|$ attains its maximum for given $x$ at $t = t(x)$. We give upper and lower bounds of the same order of magnitude for the $L^p$ norm of…

We improve the standard Weyl estimate for quartic exponential sums in which the argument is a quadratic irrational. Specifically we show that \[\sum_{n\le N} e(\alpha n^4)\ll_{\ep,\alpha}N^{5/6+\ep}\] for any $\ep>0$ and any quadratic…

In this paper, we obtain the maximal estimate for the Weyl sums on the torus $\mathbb{T}^d$ with $d\geq 2$, which is sharp up to the endpoint. We also consider two variants of this problem which include the maximal estimate along the…

We obtain an estimate for the cubic Weyl sum which improves the bound obtained from Weyl differencing for short ranges of summation. In particular, we show that for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists some $\delta>0$ such that for any coprime…

We obtain new estimates on the maximal operator applied to the Weyl sums. We also consider the quadratic case (that is, Gauss sums) in more details. In wide ranges of parameters our estimates are optimal and match lower bounds. Our approach…

The authors have recently obtained a lower bound of the Hausdorff dimension of the sets of vectors $(x_1, \ldots, x_d)\in [0,1)^d$ with large Weyl sums, namely of vectors for which $$ \left| \sum_{n=1}^{N}\exp(2\pi i (x_1 n+\ldots +x_d…

We show that a certain two-dimensional family of Weyl sums of length $P$ takes values as large as $P^{3/4 + o(1)}$ on almost all linear slices of the unit torus, contradicting a widely held expectation that Weyl sums should exhibit…

We establish new quantitative estimates for general systems of functions with wavelet-type dyadic structure. These estimates are applied to obtain the optimal growth of various types of Weyl multipliers for certain wavelet-type systems.…

We consider quadratic Weyl sums $S_N(x;c,\alpha)=\sum_{n=1}^N\exp\{2\pi i((\frac{1}{2}n^2+cn)x+\alpha n)\}$ for $c=\alpha=0$ (the rational case) or $(c,\alpha)\notin\mathbb{Q}^2$ (the irrational case), where $x$ is randomly distributed…

Assuming some pointwise estimates on certain Weyl's sum, we prove the sharp estimates of the mean value associated to the following exponential sum $$ \sum_{n=1}^N e^{2\pi i tn^d +2\pi i xn}\,. $$
