On Moduli Spaces,Equidistribution, Estimates,and Rational Points of Algebraic Curves

We consider the moduli spaces of hyperelliptic curves, Artin–Schreier coverings, and some other families of curves of this type over fields of characteristic p. By using the Postnikov method, we obtain expressions for the Kloosterman sums. The distribution of angles of the Kloosterman sums was investigated on a computer. For small prime p, we study rational points on curves y ² = f(x). We consider the problem of the accuracy of estimates of the number of rational points of hyperelliptic curves and the existence of rational points of curves of the indicated type on the moduli spaces of these curves over a prime finite field.     

An identity involving Dedekind sums and generalized Kloosterman sums

The various properties of classical Dedekind sums S(h, q) have been investi-gated by many authors. For example, Yanni Liu and Wenpeng Zhang: A hybrid mean value related to the Dedekind sums and Kloosterman sums, Acta Mathematica Sinica, 27 (2011), 435–440 studied the hybrid mean value properties involving Dedekind sums and generalized Kloosterman sums K(m, n, r; q). The main purpose of this paper, is using the analytic methods and the properties of character sums, to study the computational problem of one kind of hybrid mean value involving Dedekind sums and generalized Kloosterman sums, and give an interesting identity.     

Kloosterman sum identities and low-weight codewords in a cyclic code with two zeros

We apply relations of n-dimensional Kloosterman sums to exponential sums over finite fields to count the number of low-weight codewords in a cyclic code with two zeros. As a corollary we obtain a new proof for a result of Carlitz which relates one- and two-dimensional Kloosterman sums. In addition, we count some power sums of Kloosterman sums over certain subfields.     

Some applications of smooth bilinear forms with Kloosterman sums

We revisit a recent bound of I. Shparlinski and T. Zhang on bilinear forms with Kloosterman sums, and prove an extension for correlation sums of Kloosterman sums against Fourier coefficients of modular forms. We use these bounds to improve on earlier results on sums of Kloosterman sums along the primes and on the error term of the fourth moment of Dirichlet L-functions.     

Gauss sums over some matrix groups

In this note, we give explicit expressions of Gauss sums for general (resp. special) linear groups over finite fields, which involve classical Gauss sums (resp. Kloosterman sums). The key ingredient is averaging such sums over Borel subgroups, i.e., the groups of upper triangular matrices. As applications, we count the number of invertible matrices of zero-trace over finite fields and we also improve two bounds of Ferguson, Hoffman, Luca, Ostafe and Shparlinski in [R. Ferguson, C. Hoffman, F. Luca, A. Ostafe, I.E. Shparlinski, Some additive combinatorics problems in matrix rings, Rev. Mat. Complut. 23 (2010) 501–513].     

A Kuznetsov Formula for Kloosterman Sums on GLn

We prove a Kuznetsov sum formula for Kloosterman sums on GL _n corresponding to the big Bruhat cell. Using this formula, a weighted sum of Kloosterman sums can be expressed in spectral decomposition. A non-trivial estimate of the spectral side might lead to a proof of cancellations in sums of Kloosterman sums on GL _n.     

A hybrid mean value formula involving Kloosterman sums and Hurwitz zeta-function

The main purpose of this paper is using the mean value theorem of Dirichlet L-function and the estimates for character sums to study the asymptotic properties of a hybrid mean value of Kloosterman sums with the weight of Hurwitz zeta-function and the Cochrane sums, and give an interesting mean value formula for it.     

Mean Value of Kloosterman Sums over Short Intervals

This paper is concerned with a kind of mean value problem of Kloosterman sums, which will lead to a sum of Kloosterman sums over short intervals.     

A generalization of power moments of Kloosterman sums

We find an expression for a sum which can be viewed as a generalization of power moments of Kloosterman sums studied by Kloosterman and Salié. Received: 24 March 2006     

On Z4-Linear Goethals Codes and Kloosterman Sums

Studying the coset weight distributions of the Z₄-linear Goethals codes, e connect these codes with the Kloosterman sums. From one side, e obtain for some cases, of the cosets of weight four, the exact expressions for the number of code ords of weight four in terms of the Kloosterman sums. From the other side, e obtain some limitations for the possible values of the Kloosterman sums, hich improve the well known results due to Lachaud and Wolfmann kn:lac.     

On Cochrane sums over short intervals

The main purpose of this paper is to study the mean square value problem of Cochrane sums over short intervals by using the properties of Gauss sums and Kloosterman sums, and finally give a sharp asymptotic formula.     

On a generalisation of a Lehmer problem

We consider a generalisation of the classical Lehmer problem about the distribution of modular inverses in arithmetic progression, introduced by E. Alkan, F. Stan and A. Zaharescu. Using bounds for multiplicative character sums instead of bounds for Kloosterman sums traditionally applied to this kind of problem, we improve their results in several directions.

Elementary Proof of an Estimate for Kloosterman Sums with Primes

A new elementary proof of an estimate for incomplete Kloosterman sums modulo a prime q is obtained. Along with Bourgain’s 2005 estimate of the double Kloosterman sum of a special form, it leads to an elementary derivation of an estimate for Kloosterman sums with primes for the case in which the length of the sum is of order q^0.5+ε, where ε is an arbitrarily small fixed number.     

On zeros of Kloosterman sums

A Kloosterman zero is a non-zero element of ${{\mathbb F}_q}$ for which the Kloosterman sum on ${{\mathbb F}_q}$ attains the value 0. Kloosterman zeros can be used to construct monomial hyperbent (bent) functions in even (odd) characteristic, respectively. We give an elementary proof of the fact that for characteristic 2 and 3, no Kloosterman zero in ${{\mathbb F}_q}$ belongs to a proper subfield of ${{\mathbb F}_q}$ with one exception that occurs at q = 16. It was recently proved that no Kloosterman zero exists in a field of characteristic greater than 3. We also characterize those binary Kloosterman sums that are divisible by 16 as well as those ternary Kloosterman sums that are divisible by 9. Hence we provide necessary conditions that Kloosterman zeros must satisfy.     

A new hybrid power mean involving the generalized quadratic Gauss sums and sums analogous to Kloosterman sums<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">*</Emphasis></Superscript>

The main purpose of this paper is using the analytic method and properties of the classical quadratic Gauss sums to study the computational problem of a hybrid power mean of generalized quadratic Gauss sums and generalized Kloosterman sums and give an exact computational formula for it.     

A transform property of Kloosterman sums

An expression for the number of times a certain trace function associated with a Kloosterman sum on an extension field assumes a given value in the base field is given and its properties explored. The relationship of this result to the enumeration of certain types of irreducible polynomials over fields of characteristic two or three and to the weights in the dual of a Melas code is considered. It is argued that the expressions obtained for the trace functions, while simply related to the Kloosterman sums, can be more directly useful than the exponential sums themselves in certain applications. In addition, they enjoy properties that are of independent interest.     

A hybrid mean value related to the Dedekind sums and Kloosterman sums

The main purpose of this paper is using the properties of character sum and the analytic method to study a hybrid mean value problem related to the Dedekind sums and Kloosterman sums, and give some interesting mean value formulae and identities for it.     

On sums of \mathit{SL}(3,\mathbb{Z}) Kloosterman sums

We show that sums of the $\mathit{SL}(3,\mathbb{Z})$ long element Kloosterman sum against a smooth weight function have cancelation due to the variation in argument of the Kloosterman sums, when each modulus is at least the square root of the other. Our main tool is Li’s generalization of the Kuznetsov formula on $\mathit{SL}(3,\mathbb{R})$ , which has to date been prohibitively difficult to apply. We first obtain analytic expressions for the weight functions on the Kloosterman sum side by converting them to Mellin–Barnes integral form. This allows us to relax the conditions on the test function and to produce a partial inversion formula suitable for studying sums of the long-element $\mathit{SL}(3,\mathbb{Z})$ Kloosterman sums.
