Bounds for Kloosterman Sums for $\mathrm{GL}_n$

Number Theory 2025-10-07 v2

Abstract

In this paper power saving bounds for general Kloosterman sums for all Weyl elements for GLn\mathrm{GL}_n for n>2n>2 are proven, improving the trivial bound by D\k{a}browski and Reeder. This is achieved by representing the sums in an explicit way as exponential sums and bounding these through applications of the Weil bound.
