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...
