We obtain statistical results on the possible distribution of all partial sums of a Kloosterman sum modulo a prime, by computing explicitly the support of the limiting random Fourier series of our earlier functional limit theorem for…

We prove congruences, modulo a power of a prime p, for certain finite sums involving central binomial coefficients $\binom{2k}{k}$.

Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $k$ be a field of characteristic $p$. We provide a practical algebraic description of the representation ring of $k\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$ modulo projectives. We then investigate a family of modular…

We prove an identity relating twisted matrix Kloosterman sums to modified Hall-Littlewood polynomials evaluated at the roots of the characteristic polynomial associated to a twisted Kloosterman sheaf. This solves a conjecture of Erd\'elyi…

Let $f$ be a cuspidal eigenform (holomorphic or Maass) on the full modular group $SL(2, \mathbb{Z})$ . Let $\chi$ be a primitive character of modulus $P$. We shall prove the following results: 1. Suppose $P = p^r$, where $p$ is a prime and…

We give a family of congruences for the binomial coefficients ${kp-1\choose p-1}$ in terms of multiple harmonic sums, a generalization of the harmonic numbers. Each congruence in this family (which depends on an additional parameter $n$)…

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…

In our earlier paper, based on a paper by Bump and Ginzburg, we used an Eisenstein series on the double cover of GL(r) to obtain an integral representation of the twisted symmetric square L-function of GL(r). Using that, we showed that the…

For a fixed SL(3, Z) Maass form g, we consider the family of L-functions L(g \times u_j, s) where u_j runs over the family of Hecke-Maass cusp forms on SL(2,Z). We obtain an estimate for the second moment of this family of L-functions at…

Let N = 1 mod 4 be the negative of a prime, K=Q(sqrt{N}) and O_K its ring of integers. Let D be a prime ideal in O_K of prime norm congruent to 3 modulo 4. Under these assumptions, there exists Hecke characters $\psi_{\D}$ of K with…

Let $P$ be an $m$-homogeneous polynomial in $n$-complex variables $x_1, \dotsc, x_n$. Clearly, $P$ has a unique representation in the form \begin{equation*} P(x)= \sum_{1 \leq j_1 \leq \dotsc \leq j_m \leq n} c_{(j_1, \dotsc, j_m)} \,…

We prove a family of identities, expressing generating functions of powers of characteristic polynomials of permutations, as finite or infinite products. These generalize formulae first obtained in a study of the geometry/topology of…

We define a two-variable $p$-adic Asai $L$-function for a finite-slope family of Hilbert modular forms over a real quadratic field (with one component of the weight, and the cyclotomic twist variable, varying independently); and a…

We study the geometry of some varieties of sums of powers related to the Klein quartic. This allows us to describe the birational geometry of certain moduli spaces of abelian surfaces. In particular we show that the moduli space…

We estimate the sums \[ \sum_{c\leq x} \frac{S(m,n,c,\chi)}{c}, \] where the $S(m,n,c,\chi)$ are Kloosterman sums of half-integral weight on the modular group. Our estimates are uniform in $m$, $n$, and $x$ in analogy with Sarnak and…

We present a lower bound for the classical Kloosterman sum $S(a,b;c)$ where $(ab,c)=1$ and $c$ is an odd integer. We apply this lower bound for Kloosterman sums to derive an explicit lower bound in Petersson's trace formula, subject to a…

Let $\overline{p}_{j,k}(n)$ denotes the number of $(j,k)$-regular overpartitions of a positive integer $n$ such that none of the parts is congruent to $j$ modulo $k$. Naika et. al. (2021) proved infinite families of congruences modulo…

In this paper, we construct three ternary linear codes associated with the orthogonal group O^-(2,q) and the special orthogonal groups SO^-(2,q) and SO^-(4,q). Here q is a power of three. Then we obtain recursive formulas for the power…

The twisted $T$-adic exponential sum associated to $x^{d}+\lambda x$ is studied. If $\lambda\neq0,$ then an explicit arithmetic polygon is proved to be the Newton polygon of the twisted $C$-function of the T-adic exponential sum. It gives…

The specializations of the motivic elliptic polylog are called motivic Eisenstein classes. For applications to special values of L-Functions, it is important to compute the realizations of these classes. In this paper, we prove that the…
