A New Bound for Kloosterman Sums
Abstract
Description
We give generating functions for Gauss sums for finite general linear and unitary groups. For the general linear case only our method of proof is new, but we deduce a bound on Kloosterman sums which is sometimes sharper than Deligne's bound from algebraic geometry.
We add a remark on Fourier analysis and make minor revisions
