$L^1$ norm of Fourier transform of subset sums

Let $n_1,\dots,n_k$ be a set of $k$ natural numbers less than $N$, with $k = (1- \delta) \log_2 N$ for $\delta$ relatively small. Let $e(x) = e^{ 2\pi i x}$, as usual. Assume that $$\int_0^1\prod_{j=1}...

Best known bounds on certain exponential sums

What are the best bounds currently known for the following exponential sum: $$\sum_{x < p \le 2x} e(\alpha p^k)$$ for values of $\alpha$ far from a rational with small denominator. ($p$ refers ...

Is this averaged exponential sum over primes small infinitely often?

Do there exist infinitely many positive integers $N$ such that $$\sum_{\substack{N/2 \leq q \leq N \\ a/q \notin \mathbb{Z}}} \left|\sum_{1 \leq p \leq N} \exp(2\pi i p a/q) \right|\leq |a|^{o(1)} N^...
