Conjecture on polynomial exponential sums becoming kloostermanian functions
Conjecture on polynomial exponential sums becoming kloostermanian functions
For , , and polynomials , define
and
Also define the corresponding sums over invertible residue classes by
and
Here the four sums are T-multiplicative arithmetic functions of .
Polynomial exponential-sum conjecture. If and satisfy
then there exists an integer pair such that is a kloostermanian arithmetic function and is an almost-kloostermanian arithmetic function. If and satisfy , then there exists an integer pair such that is a kloostermanian arithmetic function and is an almost-kloostermanian arithmetic function.
These assertions propose that suitable integer rescalings of polynomial exponential sums, including their quadratic-character twists and invertible-variable variants, can exhibit the same arithmetic behavior as Kloosterman-type functions. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
