Inspired by the work of Bourgain and Garaev (2013), we provide new bounds for certain weighted bilinear Kloosterman sums in polynomial rings over a finite field. As an application, we build upon and extend some results of Sawin and…

We introduce a method to estimate sums of oscillating functions on finite abelian groups over intervals or (generalized) arithmetic progressions, when the size of the interval is such that the completing techniques of Fourier analysis are…

For $j=1,2$, let $f_j(z) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_{j}(n) e^{2\pi i nz}$ be a holomorphic, non-CM cuspidal newform of even weight $k_j \ge 2$ with trivial nebentypus. For each prime $p$, let $\theta_{j}(p)\in[0,\pi]$ be the angle such that…

We develop a new method for studying sums of Kloosterman sums related to the spectral exponential sum. As a corollary, we obtain a new proof of the estimate of Soundararajan and Young for the error term in the prime geodesic theorem.

In recent years, there has been a lot of progress in obtaining non-trivial bounds for bilinear forms of Kloosterman sums in $\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}$ for arbitrary integers $m$. These results have been motivated by a wide variety of…

We study the restriction of the Fourier transform to quadratic surfaces in vector spaces over finite fields. In two dimensions, we obtain the sharp result by considering the sums of arbitrary two elements in the subset of quadratic surfaces…

We consider the value distribution of logarithms of symmetric square L-functions associated with newforms of even weight and prime power level at real s> 1/2. We prove that certain averages of those values can be written as integrals…

An asymptotic formula with a square root error term is obtained for the number of elements with given trace and norm in a finite semisimple algebra over a finite field. This extends previous results from finite etale algebras (commutative…

In this expository note, we prove some extensions and refinements of classical Kato type estimates with elementary techniques.

We show that automatic sequences are asymptotically orthogonal to periodic exponentials of type $e_q(f(n))$, where $f$ is a rational fraction, in the P\'olya-Vinogradov range. This applies to Kloosterman sums, and may be used to study…

We study Kloosterman sums on the orthogonal groups $SO_{3,3}$ and $SO_{4,2}$, associated to short elements of their respective Weyl groups. An explicit description for these sums is obtained in terms of multi-dimensional exponential sums.…

In this paper, we investigate the distribution of the maximum of partial sums of certain cubic exponential sums, commonly known as "Birch sums". Our main theorem gives upper and lower bounds (of nearly the same order of magnitude) for the…

We investigate the asymptotic distribution of integrals of the $j$-function that are associated to ideal classes in a real quadratic field. To estimate the error term in our asymptotic formula, we prove a bound for sums of Kloosterman sums…

We consider certain families of automorphic representations over number fields arising from the principle of functoriality of Langlands. Let $G$ be a reductive group over a number field $F$ which admits discrete series representations at…

For two countably infinite fields whose multiplicative groups are isomorphic, we examine invariant couplings between the actions that these groups induce on the additive Pontryagin duals of the fields. We show that the actions are disjoint…

We study p-adic hyper-Kloosterman sums, a generalization of the Kloosterman sum with a parameter k that recovers the classical Kloosterman sum when k=2, over general p-adic rings and even equal characteristic local rings. These can be…

We show that the Generalized Sato-Tate Conjecture permits to obtain rather precise information on the distribution of the consecutive quadratic residues modulo large primes.

We establish the Sato-Tate equidistribution of Hecke eigenvalues on average for families of Hecke--Maass cusp forms on SL(n,R)/SO(n). For each of the principal, symmetric square and exterior square L-functions we verify that the families…

We consider the value distribution of logarithms of symmetric power L-functions associated with newforms of even weight and prime power level. In the symmetric square case, under certain plausible analytical conditions, we prove that…
