Short sums conjecture for Kloosterman sums

About 8 years old · traced to

Let pp be prime, let a∈Fp×a\in\mathbb{F}_p^\times, let NN and HH be integers, and write x‾\overline{x} for the multiplicative inverse of xx modulo pp. Short sums conjecture. There exists an ε>0\varepsilon>0 such that

∣∑N≤x≤N+He(ax+x‾p)∣≪H1−ε,\left|\sum_{N\leq x\leq N+H}e\left(\frac{ax+\overline{x}}{p}\right)\right|\ll H^{1-\varepsilon},

uniformly for any 1<N<p1<N<p, p1/2−ε/2<H<p1/2+ε/2p^{1/2-\varepsilon/2}<H<p^{1/2+\varepsilon/2}, and a∈Fp×a\in\mathbb{F}_p^\times. This is a conjectural power-saving bound for incomplete Kloosterman sums in the transition range H≍p1/2H\asymp p^{1/2}; the parser supplies no evidence that it has been resolved.
