Short Kloosterman sums with weights

We obtain a new estimate for Kloosterman sums with weights in which the number of summands is significantly less than any arbitrarily small fixed power of the modulus.

Reducing character sums to Kloosterman sums

We apply a bound for very short Kloosterman type sums, due to A. A. Karatsuba, to deduce a bound for a mean-value of short sums of Dirichlet characters.

Bounds of trilinear sums with Kloosterman fractions

Archiv der Mathematik - We obtain a new bound for trilinear exponential sums with Kloosterman fractions which in some ranges of parameters improves that of S. Bettin and V. Chandee (2018). We also...     

Equidistribution of Gauss sums and Kloosterman sums

Let m be a positive integer. Fix a nontrivial additive character for each finite field F_q. To state the first result of this paper, we also fix r distinct multiplicative characters ₁,...,_r for each finite field F_q with more than r elements. We shall prove that when varies over multiplicative characters of F_q other than the m-th roots of the r-tuples of angles of Gauss sums are asymptotically equidistributed on the r-dimensional torus (S¹)^r as q goes to infinity.The n-dimensional Kloosterman sum over F_q at a F_q^× is One can define the angle (q,a) of Kl_n(q,a) in a suitable way. We shall prove that when a varies over nonzero elements of F_q, the q–1 angles (q,a^m) of Kloosterman sums are asymptotically equidistributed as q goes to infinity.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000) 11L05, 14F20     

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.     

Identities of incomplete Kloosterman sums

Identities between incomplete Kloosterman sums and incomplete hyper-Kloosterman sums are established.

     

Ternary Kloosterman sums modulo 4

Garaschuk and Lisoněk (2008) in [3] characterised ternary Kloosterman sums modulo 4, leaving the cases $K(a)\equiv 1(\mathrm{mod}4)$ and $K(a)\equiv 3(\mathrm{mod}4)$ as open problems. In this paper we complete the characterisation using well-known theorems on Gauss sums and Kloosterman sums. We also give the number of elements satisfying these congruences.     

On ternary Kloosterman sums modulo 12

Let K(a) denote the Kloosterman sum on . It is easy to see that for all . We completely characterize those for which , and . The simplicity of the characterization allows us to count the number of the belonging to each of these three classes. As a byproduct we offer an alternative proof for a new class of quasi-perfect ternary linear codes recently presented by Danev and Dodunekov.

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.     

Summation formulas for general Kloosterman sums

N. V. Kuznetsov's summation formula is generalized to the case of a discrete subgroup GSL₂() and a system of multiplicators , satisfying certain not too restrictive conditions. In the arithmetic cases, when G is a congruence-subgroup in SL₂(), these conditions are satisfied. N. V. Kuznetsov's formula has been proved for the case G=SL₂()., =1.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.
