A note on evaluations of some exponential sums

Marko J. Moisio (2000)

Acta Arithmetica

1. Introduction. The recent article [1] gives explicit evaluations for exponential sums of the form S ( a , p α + 1 ) : = x q χ ( a x p α + 1 ) where χ is a non-trivial additive character of the finite field q , q = p e odd, and a * q . In my dissertation [5], in particular in [4], I considered more generally the sums S(a,N) for all factors N of p α + 1 . The aim of the present note is to evaluate S(a,N) in a short way, following [4]. We note that our result is also valid for even q, and the technique used in our proof can also be used to evaluate certain...

A note on factorization of the Fermat numbers and their factors of the form 3 h 2 n + 1

Michal Křížek, Jan Chleboun (1994)

Mathematica Bohemica

We show that any factorization of any composite Fermat number F m = 2 2 m + 1 into two nontrivial factors can be expressed in the form F m = ( k 2 n + 1 ) ( 2 n + 1 ) for some odd k and , k 3 , 3 , and integer n m + 2 , 3 n < 2 m . We prove that the greatest common divisor of k and is 1, k + 0 m o d 2 n , m a x ( k , ) F m - 2 , and either 3 | k or 3 | , i.e., 3 h 2 m + 2 + 1 | F m for an integer h 1 . Factorizations of F m into more than two factors are investigated as well. In particular, we prove that if F m = ( k 2 n + 1 ) 2 ( 2 j + 1 ) then j = n + 1 , 3 | and 5 | .
