The classical $n$-variable Kloosterman sums over finite fields are well understood by Deligne's theorem from complex point of view and by Sperber's theorem from $p$-adic point of view. In this paper, we study the complex and $p$-adic…

Let p be a prime and suppose that K/F is a cyclic extension of degree p^n with group G. Let J be the F_pG-module K^*/K^{*p} of pth-power classes. In our previous paper we established precise conditions for J to contain an indecomposable…

Primitive roots of 1 mod p^k (k>2 and odd prime p) are sought, in cyclic units group G_k = A_k B_k mod p^k, coprime to p, of order (p-1)p^{k-1}. 'Core' subgroup A_k has order p-1 independent of k, and p+1 generates 'extension' subgroup B_k…

For the generalized Dedekind sums s_{ij}(p,q) defined in association with the x^{i}y^{j}-coefficient of the Todd power series of the lattice cone in R^2 generated by (1,0) and (q,p), we associate an exponential sum. We obtain this…

In this paper we study embeddings of unitriangular groups UT$_n(\mathbb{F}_p)$ arising under adjunction of roots. We construct embeddings of UT$_n(\mathbb{F}_p)$ in UT$_m(\mathbb{F}_p)$, for $n \geq 2$, $m=(n-1)p^s + 1$, $s \in…

In our previous paper \cite{co1} we have shown that the theory of circulant matrices allows to recover the result that there exists $p+1$ Mutually Unbiased Bases in dimension $p$, $p$ being an arbitrary prime number. Two orthonormal bases…

Let $L$ be a number field. For a given prime $p$ we define integers $\alpha_{p}^{L}$ and $\beta_{p}^{L}$ with some interesting arithmetic properties. For instance, $\beta_{p}^{L}$ is equal to $1$ whenever $p$ does not ramify in $L$ and…

We consider the problem of sums of dilates in groups of prime order. We show that given $A\subset \Z{p}$ of sufficiently small density then $$\big| \lambda_{1}A+\lambda_{2}A+...+ \lambda_{k}A \big|…

Let $p>0$ be a prime, $G$ be a finite $p$-group and $\Bbbk$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. Dave Benson has conjectured that if $p=2$ and $V$ is an odd-dimensional indecomposable representation of $G$ then all…

Cyclotomic polynomials are basic objects in Number Theory. Their properties depend on the number of distinct primes that intervene in the factorization of their order, and the binary case is thus the first nontrivial case. This paper sees…

Let $t\in\mathbb{N}_+$ be given. In this article we are interested in characterizing those $d\in\mathbb{N}_+$ such that the congruence $$\frac{1}{t}\sum_{s=0}^{t-1}{n+d\zeta_t^s\choose d-1}\equiv {n\choose d-1}\pmod{d}$$ is true for each…

Let $E/\mathbf{Q}$ be a semistable elliptic curve of analytic rank one, and let $p>3$ be a prime for which $E[p]$ is irreducible. In this note, following a slight modification of the methods of Jetchev-Skinner-Wan, we use Iwasawa theory to…
