Sign changes of Kloosterman sums and exceptional characters

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We prove that the existence of exceptional real zeroes of Dirichlet L-functions would lead to cancellations in the sum sumpleqxKl(1,p) of Kloosterman sums over primes, and also to sign changes of Kl(1,n), where n runs over integers with exactly two prime factors. Our arguments involve a variant of Bombieri's sieve, bounds for twisted sums of Kloosterman sums, and work of Fouvry and Michel on sums of left|Kl(1,n)ight|.
