Conjectural discrete moment bound for Weyl sums

Let k3k\geq 3, set

s0=(k1)(k2)2+1,s_{0}=\frac{(k-1)(k-2)}{2}+1,

and suppose that αka/q<q2|\alpha_{k}-a/q|<q^{-2} for coprime integers (a,q)=1(a,q)=1. Let Saz(α)S_{az}(\boldsymbol{\alpha}) denote the Weyl sum used in the paper. Conjectural discrete moment bound. The estimate

aTSaz(α)Tx(zq+zlog(q)T+1xk+qlog(q)Txk)1/(2s0)(Txz)ε\sum_{a\leq T}|S_{az}(\boldsymbol{\alpha})|\ll Tx\left(\frac{z}{q}+\frac{z\log(q)}{T}+\frac{1}{x^{k}}+\frac{q\log(q)}{Tx^{k}}\right)^{1/(2s_{0})}(Txz)^{\varepsilon}

should hold. This would improve the preceding estimates in the range identified in the paper, by gaining an extra factor associated with averaging over the discrete parameter hh.
