Abstract:

Let $\mathcal{O}$ denote the ring of integers of an algebraic number field of degree $m$ which is totally and tamely ramified at the prime $p$. Write $\zeta_q= \exp(2\pi i/q)$, where $q=p^r$. We evaluate the twisted Kloosterman sum

\begin{displaymath}\sum\limits_{\alpha\in(\mathcal{O}/q \mathcal{O})^*} \chi(N(\alpha)) \zeta_q^{T(\alpha)+z/N(\alpha)},\end{displaymath}

where $T$ and $N$ denote trace and norm, and where $\chi$ is a Dirichlet character (mod $q$). This extends results of Salié for $m=1$ and of Yangbo Ye for prime $m$ dividing $p-1.$ Our method is based upon our evaluation of the Gauss sum

\begin{displaymath}\sum\limits_{\alpha\in (\mathcal{O}/q\mathcal{O})^*} \chi(N(\alpha)) \zeta_q^{T(\alpha)},\end{displaymath}

which extends results of Mauclaire for $m=1$.
