Abstract

We give upper bounds for the number of solutions to congruences with the Euler function phi(n) and with the Carmichael function lambda(n). We also give nontrivial bounds for certain exponential sums involving phi(n). Analogous results can also be obtained for the sum of divisors function and similar arithmetic functions.
