A Chevalley-Warning approach to 𝑝-adic estimates of character sums [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 1995
The elementary Chevalley-Warning congruence method is applied to obtain several p -adic estimates of character sums over finite fields.

Estimates for trilinear and quadrilinear character sums

open access: yesRevista Matemática Iberoamericana
We obtain new bounds on some trilinear and quadrilinear character sums, which are non-trivial starting from very short ranges of the variables. An application to an apparently new problem on oscillations of characters on differences between Farey fractions is given.

Estimates for short character sums evaluated at homogeneous polynomials

open access: yesJournal of the London Mathematical Society
Abstract Let be a prime. We prove bounds on short Dirichlet character sums evaluated at a class of homogeneous polynomials in arbitrary dimensions. In every dimension, this bound is nontrivial for sums over boxes with side lengths as short as for any . Our methods capitalize on the relationship between characters mod and characters

From Oscillatory Integrals and Sublevel Sets to Polynomial Congruences and Character Sums [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We present a slight extension of a classical lemma of Hensel and give various applications to polynomial congruences and character sums; in particular, we give a new proof of a classical result of Hua on complete exponential sums.

Vinogradov's mean value theorem via efficient congruencing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We obtain estimates for Vinogradov's integral that for the first time approach those conjectured to be the best possible. Several applications of these new bounds are provided.

A Burgess-like subconvex bound for twisted L-functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Let g be a cuspidal newform (holomorphic or Maass) of arbitrary level and nebentypus, X a primitive character of conductor q, and s a point on the critical line Rs = 1/2.

Three conjectures about character sums [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
We establish that three well-known and rather different looking conjectures about Dirichlet characters and their (weighted) sums, (concerning the Pólya–Vinogradov theorem for maximal character sums, the maximal admissible range in Burgess’ estimate for ...
