We consider a problem posed by Shparlinski, of giving nontrivial bounds for rational exponential sums over the arithmetic function $\tau(n)$, counting the number of divisors of $n$. This is done using some ideas of Sathe concerning the…

We obtain new bounds of exponential sums modulo a prime $p$ with binomials $ax^k + bx^n$. In particular, for $k=1$, we improve the bound of Karatsuba (1967) from $O(n^{1/4} p^{3/4})$ to $O\left(p^{3/4} + n^{1/3}p^{2/3}\right)$ for any $n$,…

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

We extend some methods of bounding exponential sums of the type $\displaystyle\sum_{n\le N}e^{2\pi iag^n/p}$ to deal with the case when $g$ is not necessarily a primitive root. We also show some recent results of Shkredov concerning…

We establish new upper bounds about symmetric bilinear complexity in any extension of finite fields. Note that these bounds are not asymptotical but uniform. Moreover we give examples of Shimura curves that do not descend over their field…

Bag and Shparlinski \cite{BaSh} considered bilinear sums of terms of the form $e_p(axy^s)$, where $p$ is a prime, $a$ is an integer coprime to $p$, $s$ is an integer, $x$ runs over a subset of $\mathbb{F}_p^{\ast}$ and $y$ runs over an…

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…

We prove new bounds on bilinear forms with Kloosterman sums, complementing and improving a series of results by \'E. Fouvry, E. Kowalski and Ph. Michel (2014), V. Blomer, \'E. Fouvry, E. Kowalski, Ph. Michel and D. Mili\'cevi\'c (2017), E.…

In this paper we obtain some new estimates for multilinear exponential sums in prime fields with a more general class of weights than previously considered. Our techniques are based on some recent progress of Shkredov on multilinear sums…

We give a new bound on colinear triples in subgroups of prime finite fields and use it to give some new bounds on exponential sums with trinomials.

Let $q$ be a prime, $P \geq 1$ and let $N_q(P)$ denote the number of rational primes $p \leq P$ that split in the imaginary quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-q})$. The first part of this paper establishes various unconditional and…

We give a short alternative proof using Heath-Brown's square sieve of a bound of the author for the large sieve with square moduli.

We prove non-trivial bounds for general bilinear forms in hyper-Kloosterman sums when the sizes of both variables may be below the P\'olya-Vinogradov range. We then derive applications to the second moment of holomorphic cusp forms twisted…

We introduce a new method to bound bilinear (Type II) sums of Kloosterman sums with composite moduli $c$, using Fourier analysis on $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}/c\mathbb{Z})$ and an amplification argument with non-abelian characters. For sums…

We obtain new bounds on complete rational exponential sums with sparse polynomials modulo a prime, under some mild conditions on the degrees of the monomials of such polynomials. These bounds, when they apply, give explicit versions of a…

The purpose of this article is to further explore how the structure of the affine group can be used to deduce new incidence theorems, and to explore sum-product type applications of these incidence bounds, building on the recent work of…

We obtain a non--trivial upper bound for the multiplicative energy of any sufficiently large subset of a subvariety of a finite algebraic group. We also find some applications of our results to growth of conjugates classes, estimates of…

In this note we give a new bound for large sieve with characters to power moduli which improves in some range of the parameters the previous bounds of Baier/Zhao and Halupczok.

We obtain the exponent of distribution $1/2+1/30$ for the ternary divisor function $d_3$ to square-free and prime power moduli, improving the previous results of Fouvry--Kowalski--Michel, Heath-Brown, and Friedlander--Iwaniec. The key input…

We obtain a nontrivial bound on the number of solutions to the equation $A^{x_1} + A^{x_2} = A^{x_3} + A^{x_4}$, $1 \le x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4 \le \tau$, with a fixed $n\times n$ matrix $A$ over a finite field ${\mathbb F}_q$ of $q$ elements of…
