The geometry of the third moment of exponential sums

Florent Jouve (2008)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We give a geometric interpretation (and we deduce an explicit formula) for two types of exponential sums, one of which is the third moment of Kloosterman sums over F q of type K ( ν 2 ; q ) . We establish a connection between the sums considered and the number of F q -rational points on explicit smooth projective surfaces, one of which is a K 3 surface, whereas the other is a smooth cubic surface. As a consequence, we obtain, applying Grothendieck-Lefschetz theory, a generalized formula for the third moment of Kloosterman...

The hybrid mean value of Dedekind sums and two-term exponential sums

Chang Leran, Li Xiaoxue (2016)

Open Mathematics

In this paper, we use the mean value theorem of Dirichlet L-functions, the properties of Gauss sums and Dedekind sums to study the hybrid mean value problem involving Dedekind sums and the two-term exponential sums, and give an interesting identity and asymptotic formula for it.

Upper bounds for certain trigonometric sums involving cosine powers

Anastasios D. Simalarides (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We establish upper bounds for certain trigonometric sums involving cosine powers. Part of these results extend previous ones valid for the sum m = 1 k - 1 | s i n ( π r m / k ) | / s i n ( π m / k ) . We apply our results to estimate character sums in an explicit and elementary way.
