The Divisibility Modulo 4 of Kloosterman Sums over Finite Fields of Characteristic 3
Recently Garashuk and Lisonek evaluated Kloosterman sums K (a) modulo 4 over a finite field F3m in the case of even K (a). They posed it as an open problem to characterize elements a in F3m for which K (a) ≡ 1 (mod4) and K (a) ≡ 3 (mod4). In this paper, we will give an answer to this problem. The result allows us to count the number of elements a in F3m belonging to each of these two classes.

The fluctuations in the number of points on a family of curves over a finite field
Let be a positive integer, a finite field of cardinality with . In this paper, inspired by [6, 3, 4] and using a slightly different method, we study the fluctuations in the number of -points on the curve given by the affine model , where is drawn at random uniformly from the set of all monic -th power-free polynomials of degree as . The method also enables us to study the fluctuations in the number of -points on the same family of curves arising from the set of monic irreducible...

The fundamental theorem of prehomogeneous vector spaces modulo (With an appendix by F. Sato)
For a number field with ring of integers , we prove an analogue over finite rings of the form of the fundamental theorem on the Fourier transform of a relative invariant of prehomogeneous vector spaces, where is a big enough prime ideal of and . In the appendix, F.Sato gives an application of the Theorems 1.1, 1.3 and the Theorems A, B, C in J.Denef and A.Gyoja [Character sums associated to prehomogeneous vector spaces, Compos. Math., 113(1998), 237–346] to the functional equation of -functions...

The geometry of the third moment of exponential sums
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 of type . We establish a connection between the sums considered and the number of -rational points on explicit smooth projective surfaces, one of which is a 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 joint distribution of -additive functions on polynomials over finite fields
Let be a finite field and a polynomial of positive degree. A function on is called (completely) -additive if , where and . We prove that the values are asymptotically equidistributed on the (finite) image set
