Distribution of special sequences modulo a large prime.
We generalize some of our previous results on Kloosterman sums [Izv. Mat., to appear] for prime moduli to general moduli. This requires establishing the corresponding additive properties of the reciprocal-set I¯¹ = {x¯¹: x ∈ I}, where I is an interval in the ring of residue classes modulo a large positive integer. We apply our bounds on multilinear exponential sums to the Brun-Titchmarsh theorem and the estimate of very short Kloosterman sums, hence generalizing our earlier work to the setting of...
