Seventh power moments of Kloosterman sums (Q5962256)

Let \(\mathbb{F}_p\) be a finite field, and write \(\zeta_p=\exp(2\pi i/p)\). Consider the Kloosterman sums \[ K(a)=\sum_{x=1}^{p-1}\zeta_p^{x+a/x},\quad a\in \mathbb{F}_p, \] and their \(n\)-th power moments \[ S_n=\sum_{a=0}^{p-1}K(a)^n,\quad n\in \mathbb{N}. \] This paper presents substantial evidence for an evaluation of \(S_7\) in terms of Hecke eigenvalues for a weight \(3\) newform on \(\Gamma_0(525)\) with quartic nebentypus of conductor \(105\).
