Sum over exponentiated bilinear form in finite-field vector space
This is a multidimensional Gauss sum, and can be handled by the same methods used to handle Gauss sums.
$Z(A)=0$ if and only if $X^T A X$ is nonzero for some $X \in \ker (A + A^T)$, and, if $Z(A) \...

Sum over exponentiated bilinear form in finite-field vector space
Denote $b(X)=X^TAX$, $c(X)=(-1)^{b(X)}$ for $A=[a_{is}]$, $X=[x_1,\dots,x_n]^T$. Replacing $a_{ii}$ and $a_{ji}$ with $a_{ij}+a_{ji}$ and $0$, we may assume $A$ is upper-triangular.
The form $b$ ...

Pointless groups
Perhaps I'm missing something, but it seems to me that $k=\mathbb{F}_2$, $G=\mathbb{G}_{m, k}$ works, where $H$ is the trivial subgroup.
