A question on the averages of Kloosterman sums

Sorry to disturb. Recently, I encountered a puzzle on the sums involving two Kloosterman sums. That is, For any $h, q_1,q_2\in \mathbb{N}$ with $(q_1,q_2)=1$ and $Q>1$, how two get a bound $$\sum_{...

What is the sum operation on torsors induced by Weil uniformization?

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field, $G$ a reductive group, and $C$ a curve. The algebraic version of the Weil uniformization theorem (see e.g. arXiv:1511.06271v2) says that groupoid of $G$-...

The Geometry of Jacobi Forms and their Asymptotic Expansions

A Jacobi form of weight $k$ and index $m$ is a meromorphic function $\varphi: \mathbb{H} \times \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C}$ satisfying $$\varphi\bigg(\frac{a \tau + b}{c \tau + d}, \frac{z}{c \tau + d}...

Possible Context for this "Siegel-like" Modular Form Construction?

The following construction of something very nearly a Siegel modular form of degree 2 arose in my research. I'm outside the worlds of automorphic forms and number theory, so I'm wondering if it ...

Higher dimensional generalization of an identity between traces of Hecke operators and number of elliptic curves over finite fields?

In http://www.math.ubc.ca/~behrend/ladic.pdf, the author uses his generalization of Lefschetz trace formula to smooth algebraic stacks to prove an interesting identity (Proposition 6.4.11.): $\sum_{k}...
