Abstract

Let ff be a real polynomial with irrational leading co-efficient. In this article, we derive distribution of f(n)f(n) modulo one for all nn with at least three divisors and also we study distribution of f(n)f(n) for all square-free nn with at least two prime factors. We study exponential sums when weighted by divisor functions and exponential sums over square free numbers. In particular, we are interested in evaluating \begin{align*} \sum_{n\leq N}\tau(n)e\left(f(n)\right) ~\text{and}~\sum_{n\leq N}\mu^2(n)e\left(f(n)\right), \end{align*} for some polynomial ff, where τ\tau is the divisor function and μ\mu is the M\"{o}bius function. We get non-trivial estimates when the leading co-efficient α\alpha of ff belongs to the minor arc.
