On the hybrid power mean involving the two-term exponential sums and polynomial character sums (Q2193010)

For any integer \(q \geq 3\), the high-dimensional Kloosterman sums \(K\left(c_{1}, c_{2}, \ldots, c_{k}, m ; q\right)\) are defined as follows: \[ K\left(c_{1}, c_{2}, \ldots, c_{k}, m ; q\right)=\mathop{\sum'}_{a_{1}=1}^{q} \cdots \mathop{\sum'}_{a_{k}=1}^{q} e\left(\frac{c_{1} a_{1}+\cdots+c_{k} a_{k}+m \bar{a}_{1} \cdots \bar{a}_{k}}{q}\right) \] where \(e(x)=e^{2 \pi i x}\), \(\mathop{\sum'}_{a_{i}=1}^{q}\) denotes the summation over all integers \(1 \leq a_{i} \leq q\) such that \(\left(a_{i}, q\right)=1\), \(c_{i}\) and \(m\) are integers with \((m, q)=1,\) \(\bar{a}_{i}\) denotes the solution of the congruent equation \(x \cdot a_{i} \equiv 1 \bmod q\) \((i=1,2, \ldots, k)\) The paper under review is devoted to sums analogous to the high-dimensional Kloosterman sums: \[ S\left(c_{1}, c_{2}, \ldots, c_{k}, m, \chi ; q\right)=\mathop{\sum'}_{a_{1}=1}^{q} \cdots \mathop{\sum'}_{a_{k}=1}^{q} \chi\left(c_{1} a_{1}+\cdots+c_{k} a_{k}+m \bar{a}_{1} \cdots \bar{a}_{k}\right) \] where \(\chi\) is a Dirichlet character \(\bmod q\). The main results of the paper are upper bounds for such sums and a mean value formula for sums of this form.
