Let $\pi$ be a $SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$ Hecke Maass-cusp form, $f$ be a $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ holomorphic cusp form or Maass-cusp form with normalized Fourier coefficients $\lambda_{\pi}(r,n) \text{ and }\lambda_{f}(n)$ respectively and $\chi$ be…

We obtain a new bound on certain double sums of multiplicative characters improving the range of several previous results. This improvement comes from new bounds on the number of collinear triples in finite fields, which is a classical…

This paper proves nontrivial bounds for short mixed character sums by introducing estimates for Vinogradov's mean value theorem into a version of the Burgess method.

In this paper we obtain a variation of the P\'{o}lya--Vinogradov inequality with the sum restricted to a certain height. Assume $\chi$ to be a primitive character modulo $q$, $\epsilon > 0$ and $N\le q^{1-\gamma}$, with $0\le \gamma \le…

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…

In this paper, we study the sum of additive characters over finite fields, with a focus on those of specified \(\mathbb{F}_q\)-Order. We establish a general formula for these character sums, providing an additive analogue to classical…

In this paper we consider a variety of mixed character sums. In particular we extend a bound of Heath-Brown and Pierce to the case of squarefree modulus, improve on a result of Chang for mixed sums in finite fields, we show in certain…

We generalize Burgess' results on partial Gaussian sums to arbitrary finite fields. The main ingredients are the classical method of amplification, two deep results on multiplicative energy for subsets in finite fields which are obtained…

Let $\chi$ be a primitive character modulo $q$, and let $\delta > 0$. Assuming that $\chi$ has large order $d$, for any $d$th root of unity $\alpha$ we obtain non-trivial upper bounds for the number of $n \leq x$ such that $\chi(n) =…

For integer $q$, let $\chi$ be a primitive multiplicative character$\pmod q.$ For integer $a$ coprime to $q$, we obtain a new bound for the sums $$\sum_{n\le N}\Lambda(n)\chi(n+a),$$ where $\Lambda(n)$ is the von Mangoldt function. This…

We obtain a Burgess-type bound for character sums over unions of intervals. The result follows from the argument of Heath-Brown, with an improvement in one of the steps.

We make explicit a theorem of Fromm and Goldmakher [arXiv:1706.03002], which states that one can improve Burgess' bound for short character sums simply by improving the leading constant in the P\'{o}lya-Vinogradov inequality. Towards…

We show that even mild improvements of the Polya-Vinogradov inequality would imply significant improvements of Burgess' bound on character sums. Our main ingredients are a lower bound on certain types of character sums (coming from works of…

We obtain a new upper bound for binary sums with multiplicative characters over variables belong to some sets, having small additive doubling.

In this paper, we study the distribution of difference of multiplicative and additive characters modulo $p$ at consecutive polynomial values. More precisely, for an interval $I$ over finite field and $0<m<1$, we investigate the following…

Let $q\geqslant2$ be an integer, $\chi$ be any non-principal character mod $q$, and $H=H(q)\leqslant q.$ In this paper the authors prove some estimates for character sums of the form…

The Burgess inequality is the best upper bound we have for the character sum $S_{\chi}(M,N) = \sum_{M<n\le M+N} \chi(n).$ Until recently, no explicit estimates had been given for the inequality. In 2006, Booker gave an explicit estimate for…

In this paper we give a refinement of the bound of D. A. Burgess for multiplicative character sums modulo a prime number $q$. This continues a series of previous logarithmic improvements, which are mostly due to H. Iwaniec and E. Kowalski.…

We obtain new bounds on some trilinear and quadrilinear character sums, which are non-trivial starting from very short ranges of the variables. An application to an apparently new problem on oscillations of characters on differences between…

We prove that Burgess's bound gives an estimate not just for a single character sum, but for a mean value of many such sums.
