Abstract

Given a prime p and a positive integer n, we show that the shifted Kloosterman sums ∑χ∈ℱpn ψ(χ + aχpn-2) = ∑χ∈ℱ*pnψ(χ + aχ-1)+1, a ∈ℱ*pn where ψ is a nontrivial additive character of a finite field Fpn of pn elements, do not vanish if a belongs to a small subfield Fpm sube Fpn. This complements recent results of P. Charpin and G. Gong which in turn were motivated by some applications to bent functions.
