Consider the Weil sum $W_{F,d}(u)=\sum_{x \in F} \psi(x^d+u x)$, where $F$ is a finite field of characteristic $p$, $\psi$ is the canonical additive character of $F$, $d$ is coprime to $|F^*|$, and $u \in F^*$. We say that $W_{F,d}(u)$ is…

We consider Weil sums of binomials of the form $W_{F,d}(a)=\sum_{x \in F} \psi(x^d-a x)$, where $F$ is a finite field, $\psi\colon F\to {\mathbb C}$ is the canonical additive character, $\gcd(d,|F^\times|)=1$, and $a \in F^\times$. If we…

We investigate the rationality of Weil sums of binomials of the form $W^{K,s}_u=\sum_{x \in K} \psi(x^s - u x)$, where $K$ is a finite field whose canonical additive character is $\psi$, and where $u$ is an element of $K^{\times}$ and $s$…

We investigate the $p$-adic valuation of Weil sums of the form $W_{F,d}(a)=\sum_{x \in F} \psi(x^d -a x)$, where $F$ is a finite field of characteristic $p$, $\psi$ is the canonical additive character of $F$, the exponent $d$ is relatively…

We present a survey on Weil sums in which an additive character of a finite field $F$ is applied to a binomial whose individual terms (monomials) become permutations of $F$ when regarded as functions. Then we indicate how these Weil sums…

Let $F$ be a finite field, $\mu$ be a fixed additive character and $s$ be an integer coprime to $|F^\times|$. For any $a\in F$, the corresponding Weil sum is defined to be $W_{F,s}(a)=\displaystyle\sum_{x \in F} \mu(x^s-ax)$. The Weil…

In this paper, the formulas of some exponential sums over finite field, related to the Coulter's polynomial, are settled based on the Coulter's theorems on Weil sums, which may have potential application in the construction of linear codes…

We obtain new bounds on short Weil sums over small multiplicative subgroups of prime finite fields which remain nontrivial in the range the classical Weil bound is already trivial. The method we use is a blend of techniques coming from…

Let $c$ be an element of the Weyl algebra $W(d)$ which is given by a strictly positive operator in the Schr"odinger representation. It is shown that, under some conditions, there exist elements $b_1,...,b_d$ in $W(d)$ such that $b_1 c b_1^*…

We provide explicit formulas for quadratic Gauss sums over $\mathbb{Z}^n/c\mathbb{Z}^n$, which generalize some of the existing formulas, e.g., Skoruppa and Zagier's (for $n=2$), and Iwaniec and Kowalski's (for arbitrary $n$). We then give…

Let $p$ be a prime, and $N$ be a positive integer not divisible by $p$. Denote by ${\rm ord}_N(p)$ the multiplicative order of $p$ modulo $N$. Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ represent the finite field of order $q=p^{{\rm ord}_N(p)}$. For $a,…

We prove some improvements of the classical Weil bound for one variable additive and multiplicative character sums associated to a polynomial over a finite field $k=\Fq$ for two classes of polynomials which are invariant under a large…

Wolstenholme's type summations involve certain powers of all residues $k$ modulo some prime number $p$. We first consider the sums of double or triple products of certain powers of all residues, e.g., the sums of the terms $(a+k)^m(b+k)^n$…

A special case of the Menshov--Rademacher theorem implies for almost all polynomials $x_1Z+\ldots +x_d Z^{d} \in {\mathbb R}[Z]$ of degree $d$ for the Weyl sums satisfy the upper bound $$ \left| \sum_{n=1}^{N}\exp\left(2\pi i \left(x_1…

Let $K$ be a function field of one variable over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$. Weil's celebrated theorem states that the congruent zeta function of $K/\mathbb{F}$ is determined by the $\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{F}}/\mathbb{F})$-module…

The classical construction of the Weil representation, with complex coefficients, has long been expected to work for more general coefficient rings. This paper exhibits the minimal ring $\mathcal{A}$ for which this is possible, the integral…

We define Weil spaces, Weil manifolds, Weil varieties and Weil Lie groups over an arbitrary commutative base ring K (in particular, over discrete rings such as the integers), and we develop the basic theory of such spaces, leading up the…

Let $L$ be an even lattice of odd rank with discriminant group $L'/L$, and let $\alpha,\beta \in L'/L$. We prove the Weil bound for the Kloosterman sums $S_{\alpha,\beta}(m,n,c)$ of half-integral weight for the Weil Representation attached…

Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be an algebraic extension of fields, and let $\alpha \not= 0$ be contained in an algebraic closure of $K$. If $\alpha$ can be approximated by roots of numbers in $K^{\times}$ with respect to the Weil height, we prove that…

Can any element in a sufficiently large finite field be represented as a sum of two $d$th powers in the field? In this article, we recount some of the history of this problem, touching on cyclotomy, Fermat's last theorem, and diagonal…
