We obtain statistical results on the possible distribution of all partial sums of a Kloosterman sum modulo a prime, by computing explicitly the support of the limiting random Fourier series of our earlier functional limit theorem for…

Let $\chi$ be a non-real Dirichlet character modulo a prime $q$. In this paper we prove that the distribution of the short character sum $S_{\chi,H}(x)=\sum_{x< n\leq x+H} \chi(n)$, as $x$ runs over the positive integers below $q$,…

We consider the distribution of the polygonal paths joining partial sums of classical Kloosterman sums, as their parameter varies modulo a prime tending to infinity. Using independence of Kloosterman sheaves, we prove convergence in the…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $\left(\frac{\cdot}{p}\right)$ be the Legendre symbol modulo $p$. The \emph{Legendre path} attached to $p$ is the polygonal path whose vertices are the normalized character sums $\frac{1}{\sqrt{p}} \sum_{n\leq…

We consider the distribution of polygonal paths joining the partial sums of normalized Kloosterman sums modulo an increasingly high power p^n of a fixed odd prime p, a pure depth-aspect analogue of theorems of Kowalski-Sawin and…

In this note we study Kloosterman sums twisted by a multiplicative characters modulo a prime power. We show, by an elementary calculation, that these sums become equidistributed on the real line with respect to a suitable measure.

In this paper, we first find the distribution of nth power residues modulo a prime $p$ by analyzing sums involving Dirichlet characters. We then extend this method to characterize the distribution of powers in arbitrary finite fields.

For positive integers $q$, Dirichlet's theorem states that there are infinitely many primes in each reduced residue class modulo $q$. A stronger form of the theorem states that the primes are equidistributed among the $\varphi(q)$ reduced…

We characterise the class of distributions of random stochastic matrices $X$ with the property that the products $X(n)X(n-1) ... X(1)$ of i.i.d. copies $X(k)$ of $X$ converge a.s. as $n \rightarrow \infty$ and the limit is Dirichlet…

Using a probabilistic model, based on random walks on the additive group $\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}$, we prove that the values of certain real character sums are uniformly distributed in residue classes modulo $m$.

For $f$ a Steinhaus random multiplicative function, we prove convergence in distribution of the appropriately normalised partial sums \[ \frac{{(\log \log x)}^{1/4}}{\sqrt{x}} \sum_{\substack{n \leq x \\ P(n) > \sqrt{x}}} f(n), \] where…

We consider the distribution of quadratic Gauss paths, polygonal paths joining partial sums of quadratic Gauss sums to square-free fundamental discriminant moduli in a dyadic range [Q,2Q]. We prove that this striking ensemble converges in…

In this paper we give a refinement of the bound of D. A. Burgess for multiplicative character sums modulo a prime number $q$. This continues a series of previous logarithmic improvements, which are mostly due to H. Iwaniec and E. Kowalski.…

It follows from the work of Artin and Hooley that, under assumption of the generalized Riemann hypothesis, the density of the set of primes $q$ for which a given non-zero rational number $r$ is a primitive root modulo $q$ can be written as…

In this work, we prove the joint convergence in distribution of $q$ variables modulo one obtained as partial sums of a sequence of i.i.d. square integrable random variables multiplied by a common factor given by some function of an…

We use recent bounds on bilinear sums with modular square roots to study the distribution of solutions to congruences $x^2 \equiv p \pmod q$ with primes $p\le P$ and integers $q \le Q$. This can be considered as a combined scenario of Duke,…

We use the $q$-analogue of van der Corput's method to estimate short character sums to smooth moduli. If $\chi$ is a primitive Dirichlet character modulo a squarefree, $q^\delta$-smooth integer $q$ we show that $$L(\frac12,\chi)\ll_\epsilon…

In this paper, we propose a probabilistic approach to the study of the characteristic polynomial of a random unitary matrix. We recover the Mellin Fourier transform of such a random polynomial, first obtained by Keating and Snaith, using a…

Let $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character modulo $q$, let $L(s, \chi)$ be the attached Dirichlet $L$-function, and let $L^\prime(s, \chi)$ denotes its derivative with respect to the complex variable $s$. The main purpose of this paper is to give…

Let $F$ be the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the base-$q$ expansion $\sum_{n=1}^\infty X_n q^{-n}$, where $q\ge2$ is an integer and $\{X_n\}_{n\geq 1}$ is a stationary stochastic process with state space $\{0,\ldots,q-1\}$. In a…
