Kloosterman sums play a special role in analytic number theory, for expressing the integer Fourier coefficients of modular forms as an infinite sum of Bessel functions, also known as Rademacher formula. The generalization to vector-valued…

Let $q$ be a prime power and $m>1$ be any integer. Let $\mathbb F_{q^m}$ be the finite field of order $q^m$ and $\theta\in\mathbb F_{q^m}$ be such that $\mathbb F_{q^m} = \mathbb F(\theta)$. We obtain a nontrivial bound for the mixed…

This paper deals with extensions or twisted sums of Banach spaces that come induced by complex interpolation and the relation between the type and cotype of the spaces in the interpolation scale and the nontriviality and singularity of the…

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 consider finite iterated generalized harmonic sums weighted by the binomial $\binom{2k}{k}$ in numerators and denominators. A large class of these functions emerges in the calculation of massive Feynman diagrams with local operator…

Emmanuel Kowalski and William Sawin proved, using a deep independence result of Kloosterman sheaves, that the polygonal paths joining the partial sums of the normalized classical Kloosterman sums S(a,b0;p)/p^{1/2} converge in the sense of…

We stratify the $\mathrm{SL}_3$ big cell Kloosterman sets using the reduced word decomposition of the Weyl group element, inspired by the Bott-Samelson factorization. Thus the $\mathrm{SL}_3$ long word Kloosterman sum is decomposed into…

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…

We develop a new approach of extension calculus in the category of strict polynomial functors, based on Troesch complexes. We obtain new short elementary proofs of numerous classical Ext-computations as well as new results. In particular,…

A weaker form of a 1979 conjecture of Goldfeld states that for every elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$, a positive proportion of its quadratic twists $E^{(d)}$ have rank 1. Using tools from Galois cohomology, we give criteria on E and d which…

We obtain a new class of compact Hausdorff spaces $K$ for which $c_0$ can be nontrivially twisted with $C(K)$.

In a recent work by Charpin, Helleseth, and Zinoviev Kloosterman sums $K(a)$ over a finite field $\F_{2^m}$ were evaluated modulo 24 in the case $m$ odd, and the number of those $a$ giving the same value for $K(a)$ modulo 24 was given. In…

As far as algebraic properties are concerned, the usual addition on the class of ordinal numbers is not really well behaved; for example, it is not commutative, nor left cancellative etc. In a few cases, the natural Hessemberg sum is a…

We deduce Katz's theorems for $(A,B)$-exponential sums over finite fields using $\ell$-adic cohomology and a theorem of Denef-Loeser, removing the hypothesis that $A+B$ is relatively prime to the characteristic $p$. In some degenerate…

Let G be any additive abelian group with cyclic torsion subgroup, and let A, B and C be finite subsets of G with cardinality n>0. We show that there is a numbering {a_i}_{i=1}^n of the elements of A, a numbering {b_i}_{i=1}^n of the…

For each odd prime power q, and each integer k, we determine the sum of the k-th powers of all elements x in F_q for which both x and x+1 are squares in F_q^*. We also solve the analogous problem when one or both of x and x+1 is a…

Bley, Burns and Hahn used relative algebraic $K$-theory methods to formulate a precise conjectural link between the (second Adams-operator twisted) Galois-Gauss sums of weakly ramified Artin characters and the square root of the inverse…

We use the Blanchfield form to obtain a lower bound on the equivariant slice genus of a strongly invertible knot. For our main application, let $K$ be a genus one strongly invertible slice knot with nontrivial Alexander polynomial. We show…

For a global field K and an elliptic curve E_eta over K(T), Silverman's specialization theorem implies that rank(E_eta(K(T))) <= rank(E_t(K)) for all but finitely many t in P^1(K). If this inequality is strict for all but finitely many t,…

In this paper we give a modular interpretation of the $k$-th symmetric power $L$-function of the Kloosterman family of exponential sums in characteristics 2 and 3, and in the case of $p=2$ and $k$ odd give the precise 2-adic Newton polygon.…
