Abstract

For a real x ≥ 1 we denote by Sk[X] the set of k-full integers n ≤ x, that is, the set of positive integers n ≤ x such that ℓk n for any prime divisor ℓ n. We estimate exponential sums of the form T(a, p, x, k) = ∑n∈Sk[x] exp(2πiaθn/p), where θ is a fixed integer with gcd (θ, p) = 1, and apply them to studying the distribution of the powers θn, n ∈ Sk[x], in the residue ring modulo p ≥ 1.
