The Selberg–Linnik bound for twisted Kloosterman sums

Let NN be the level, let m,n0m,n\neq0, and define the twisted partial sum

Zm,n(x)=NcxS(m,n;c)c.Z^*_{m,n}(x)=\sum_{N\mid c\leq x}\frac{S^*(m,n;c)}{c}.

Selberg–Linnik bound. For every m,n0m,n\neq0 and every ε>0\varepsilon>0,

Zm,n(x)m,n,εxε.Z^*_{m,n}(x)\ll_{m,n,\varepsilon}x^\varepsilon.

This conjectural bound controls the partial sums at the critical point s=1/2s=1/2 and is intended to describe cancellation in twisted Kloosterman sums; its status is open in the supplied source.
