Abstract

We give new bounds on sums of the form Σ n≤N ∧ (n) exp (2πiag n/m) and Σ n≤N ∧ (n)Χ(g n + a), where ∧ is the von Mangoldt function, m is a natural number, a and g are integers coprime to m, and Χ is a multiplicative character modulom. In particular, our results yield bounds on the sums Σ p≤N exp (2πiaM p/m) and Σ p≤N Χ(M p) with Mersenne numbers M p = 2 p - 1, where p is prime.
