The twisted Linnik–Selberg conjecture over function fields

About 7 years old · traced to

Let K=Fq(t)K=\mathbb{F}_q(t), K∞=Fq(!(1/t)!)K_{\infty}=\mathbb{F}_q(!(1/t)!), and let ψ\psi be the nontrivial additive character on K∞K_{\infty} that is trivial on Fq[t]\mathbb{F}_q[t]. For nonzero r∈Fq[t]r\in\mathbb{F}_q[t], define ψr(x)=ψ(x/r)\psi_r(x)=\psi(x/r) on Fq[t]/(r)\mathbb{F}_q[t]/(r), and for m,nm,n in the subring of elements with denominator relatively prime to rr, define

Kl⁡r(m,n)=∑x∈(Fq[t]/(r))∗ψr(mx+nx‾).\operatorname{Kl}_r(m,n)=\sum_{x\in(\mathbb{F}_q[t]/(r))^*}\psi_r(mx+n\overline{x}).

Define Kl⁡∞(ψ,α)\operatorname{Kl}_{\infty}(\psi,\alpha) by the infinite-place integral given in the source. Twisted Linnik–Selberg conjecture over function fields. For nonzero g∈Fq[t]g\in\mathbb{F}_q[t], δ\delta relatively prime to gg, integer T≥0T\ge0, α∈Fq[t]\alpha\in\mathbb{F}_q[t], and nonzero a,b∈Fq[t,g−1]a,b\in\mathbb{F}_q[t,g^{-1}], the two sums displayed in the source are each bounded by ∣gab∣∞εT^1+ε|gab|_{\infty}^{\varepsilon}\widehat{T}^{1+\varepsilon}, with implied constant depending on ε,δ\varepsilon,\delta:

∣∑∣r∣=T^(g,r)=1, δ∣rψg2(αr−1)Kl⁡r(a,b)∣≪ε,δ∣gab∣∞εT^1+ε.\left|\sum_{\substack{|r|=\widehat{T}\\ (g,r)=1,\ \delta\mid r}}\psi_{g^2}(\alpha r^{-1})\operatorname{Kl}_r(a,b)\right|\ll_{\varepsilon,\delta}|gab|_{\infty}^{\varepsilon}\widehat{T}^{1+\varepsilon}.

Furthermore,

∣∑∣r∣=T^(g,r)=1, δ∣rψg2(αr−1)Kl⁡r(a,b)Kl⁡∞(ψ,ab/r2)∣≪ε,δ∣gab∣∞εT^1+ε.\left|\sum_{\substack{|r|=\widehat{T}\\ (g,r)=1,\ \delta\mid r}}\psi_{g^2}(\alpha r^{-1})\operatorname{Kl}_r(a,b)\operatorname{Kl}_{\infty}(\psi,ab/r^2)\right|\ll_{\varepsilon,\delta}|gab|_{\infty}^{\varepsilon}\widehat{T}^{1+\varepsilon}.

The conjecture asks for an additional square-root cancellation beyond Weil's estimate for Kloosterman sums and is presented as a twisted function-field analogue of the Linnik–Selberg conjecture.
