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.

We formulate a conjecture on the finitude of rationality fields (i.e., Fourier coefficient fields) of newforms of bounded degree, and prove this for CM forms assuming a generalized Riemann hypothesis. Then we explicitly determine what…

We show that sums of the SL(3,Z) long element Kloosterman sum against a smooth weight function have cancellation due to the variation in argument of the Kloosterman sums, when each modulus is at least the square root of the other. Our main…

We prove upper bounds for sums of Kloosterman sums against general arithmetic weight functions. In particular, we obtain power cancellation in sums of Kloosterman sums over arithmetic progressions, which is of square-root strength in any…

We give a new bound on the number of collinear triples for two arbitrary subsets of a finite field. This improves on existing results which rely on the Cauchy inequality. We then us this to provide a new bound on trilinear and quadrilinear…

We prove best-possible bounds for bilinear forms in Kloosterman sums for GL(3) associated with the long Weyl element. As an application we derive a best-possible spectral large sieve inequality on GL(3).

The maximal degree over rational numbers that an n-dimensinonal Kloosterman sum defined over a finite field of characteristic p can achieve is known to be (p-1)/d where d=gcd(p-1,n+1). Wan has shown that this maximal degree is always…

In this paper, we obtain some formulas for double nonlinear Euler sums involving harmonic numbers and alternating harmonic numbers. By using these formulas, we give new closed form sums of several quadratic Euler series through Riemann zeta…

We establish the prime geodesic theorem for the modular surface with exponent $\frac{2}{3}+\varepsilon$, improving upon the long-standing exponent $\frac{25}{36}+\varepsilon$ of Soundararajan-Young (2013). This was previously known…

In this paper, we construct four binary linear codes closely connected with certain exponential sums over the finite field F_q and F_q-{0,1}. Here q is a power of two. Then we obtain four recursive formulas for the power moments of…

In this paper we discuss applications of our earlier work in studying certain Galois groups and splitting fields of rational functions in $\mathbb Q\left(X_0(N)\right)$ using Hilbert's irreducibility theorem and modular forms. We also…

We prove a new result on multiple summing operators and among other applications, we provide a new extension of Littlewood's $4/3$ inequality to $m$-linear forms.

We use recently obtained bounds for sums of Kloosterman sums to bound the sum $\sum_{-D\leq d\leq D} \int_{-D}^D |\zeta(1/2+it,\lambda^d)|^4| \sum_{0<|\mu|^2\leq M} A(\mu)\lambda^d((\mu)) |\mu|^{-2it}|^2 {\rm d}t$, where $\lambda^d$ is the…

We establish various upper bounds on Type-I and Type-II shifted bilinear sums with Sali\'e sums modulo a large prime $q$. We use these bounds to study, for fixed integers $a,b\not \equiv 0 \bmod q$, the distribution ofsolutions to the…

S.D. Miller and F. Zhou have proved a balanced Voronoi summation formula for GL$_N$ over $\mathbb Q$, which allows one to control the dimensions of the Kloosterman sums appearing on either side of the Voronoi formula. In this note, we prove…

We present an alternative account of the problem of classifying and finding normal forms for arbitrary bilinear forms. Beginning from basic results developed by Riehm, our solution to this problem hinges on the classification of…

We extend the Ax-Katz theorem for a single polynomial from finite fields to the rings Z_m with m composite. This extension not only yields the analogous result, but gives significantly higher divisibility bounds. We conjecture what computer…

We show that the multiple divisor functions of integers in invertible residue classes modulo a prime number, as well as the Fourier coefficients of GL(N) Maass cusp forms for all N larger than 2, satisfy a central limit theorem in a…

We study functions introduced by Knopp and complete them to non-holomorphic bimodular forms of positive integral weight related to indefinite binary quadratic forms. We investigate further properties of our completions, which in turn…

We introduce the notion of "quasi-symmetric" polynomials, which is a generalization of the notion of symmetry, and is particularly suited to the setting of polynomial rings over finite fields. The properties of this new class of functions…
