1 Introduction

Let q 3 be a positive integer. For any integers m and n , the generalized two-term exponential sums C ( m , n , k , χ ; q ) are defined by

C ( m , n , k , χ ; q ) = a = 1 q χ ( a ) e m a k + n a q ,

where χ denotes any Dirichlet character modulo q , e ( y ) = e 2 π i y and i 2 = 1 .

The generalized two-term exponential sums become Gauss sums when either m or n in C ( m , n , k , χ ; q ) is zero. These sums are crucial to analytic number theory and have a tight relationship to well-known number theory problems like the Waring problem and Goldbach conjecture. Therefore, many academics have investigated the two-term exponential sums and have developed several significant results.

Up to now, many researchers have studied the calculation and estimation of the high-th power mean of C ( m , n , k , χ ; q ) . This article focuses on the calculation and estimation of the fourth power mean of C ( m , n , k , χ ; q ) , which can be roughly divided into two types. They are

m = 1 p 1 C ( m , n , k , χ ; p ) 4 and χ mod p C ( m , n , k , χ ; p ) 4 .

Duan and Zhang [1] studied the fourth power mean of C ( m , n , 3 , χ ; p ) and proved that for any prime p with 3 ( p 1 ) , one has the identities

m = 1 p 1 C ( m , n , 3 , χ ; p ) 4 = 3 p 3 8 p 2 if χ = χ 2 , 2 p 3 7 p 2 if χ = χ 0 , 2 p 3 3 p 2 3 p 1 otherwise ,

where χ 0 and χ 2 = p denote principal character and Legendre symbol modulo p , respectively. Li and Xu [2] proved that for any odd prime p , there are identities

m = 1 p 1 C ( m , 1 , 2 , χ ; p ) 4 = p 3 3 p 2 + 2 1 p p 2 p 8 1 p p if χ = χ 0 , 2 p 3 3 p 2 if χ ( 1 ) = 1 , 2 p 3 4 1 p p 2 3 p 2 p a = 1 p 1 χ ( a + a ¯ ) 2 if χ = χ 0 and χ ( 1 ) = 1 ,

where a ¯ denotes the inverse of a modulo p , that is, a ¯ satisfied x a 1 mod p .

Zhang [3] investigated moments of generalized quadratic Gauss sums weighted by L -functions and obtained

1 p 1 χ mod p C ( m , 0 , 2 , χ ; p ) 4 = 3 p 2 6 p 1 + 4 p m p if p 1 mod 4 , 3 p 2 6 p 1 if p 3 mod 4 ,

and if p 3 mod 4 , then

1 p 1 χ mod p C ( m , 0 , 2 , χ ; p ) 6 = 10 p 3 25 p 2 4 p 1 ,

where m is any integer with ( m , p ) = 1 .

Zhang and Liu [4] have studied the fourth power mean of C ( 1 , 0 , 3 , χ ; p ) with 3 ( p 1 ) and obtained a complex but closed-from expression. Precisely, they proved the identity

χ mod p C ( 1 , 0 , 3 , χ ; p ) 4 = 5 p 3 18 p 2 + 20 p + 1 + U 5 p + 5 p U 5 U 3 4 U 2 + 4 U ,

where U = a = 1 p e a 3 p is a real constant.

In 2020, Bag and Barman [5] proved that for odd prime p and any integer m with ( m , p ) = 1 , there are asymptotic formulae

χ mod p C ( m , 0 , 2 , χ ; p ) 6 = 10 p 4 + O ( p 7 2 ) ,

χ mod p C ( m , 0 , 2 , χ ; p ) 8 = 35 p 5 + O ( p 9 2 ) .

Over the next 2 years, Bag et al. [6,7] proved not only the asymptotic formula for the tenth power mean of C ( m , 0 , 2 , χ ; p ) but also the asymptotic formula for any 2 l -th power mean of C ( m , 0 , 2 , χ ; p ) . The results are as follows:

χ mod p C ( m , 0 , 2 , χ ; p ) 10 = 126 p 6 + O ( p 11 2 ) ,

χ mod p C ( m , 0 , 2 , χ ; p ) 2 l = 2 l 1 l p l + 1 + O ( p 2 l + 1 2 ) .

In addition, there are a number of other forms of the high-th power mean of C ( m , n , k , χ ; p ) , and if the reader is interested can refer to [8,9]. To save space, all the results are not given in this study.

In this article, we devote ourselves to the problem of calculating the fourth power mean of C ( 1 , 1 , 2 , χ ; p ) and C ( 1 , 0 , 3 , χ ; p ) . There has been some research on the fourth power mean of C ( 1 , 1 , 2 , χ ; p ) , but the summation over all Dirichlet character χ modulo p in C ( 1 , 1 , 2 , χ ; p ) 4 has not been studied so far, for which we will present interesting calculating formulae. For the fourth power mean of C ( 1 , 0 , 3 , χ ; p ) , Zhang and Liu [4] have given identities; we improved their result and give an exact calculating formula.

Theorem 1

Let p be an odd prime. Then we have the identities

1 p 1 χ mod p a = 1 p 1 χ ( a ) e a 2 + a p 4 = 2 p 2 6 p 1 + 4 p sin π 2 p if p 1 mod 4 , 2 p 2 6 p 1 + 4 p cos π 2 p if p 3 mod 4 .

Example

Let p = 3 . Then we have

1 2 χ mod 2 a = 1 2 χ ( a ) e a 2 + a 3 4 = 1 2 χ = χ 0 , χ 2 χ ( 1 ) e 1 2 + 1 3 + χ ( 2 ) e 2 2 + 2 3 4 = 1 2 1 2 3 i 2 4 + 1 2 3 2 3 i 2 4 = 1 2 + 9 2 = 5 ,

and the right side of the equation is 2 × 3 × 3 6 × 3 1 + 4 × 3 cos π 6 = 5 .

Theorem 2

Let p be a prime. Then we have the identities

1 p 1 χ mod p a = 1 p 1 χ ( a ) e a 3 p 4 = p 2 p 1 if 3 ( p 1 ) , 5 p 2 13 p 1 3 + ( D 4 ) A k 2 + ( 4 p ) A k + 2 p ( 4 D ) 3 if 3 ( p 1 ) ,

where A k = ω k D p 2 + D p 2 2 p 3 1 2 1 3 + ω k D p 2 D p 2 2 p 3 1 2 1 3 depends on p , k = 0 , k = 1 , or k = 2 , ω = 1 + 3 i 2 and D is uniquely determined by 4 p = D 2 + 27 B 2 with D 1 mod 3 .

Example

Let p = 31 ; then D = 4 , in this time we have

χ mod 31 a = 1 30 χ ( a ) e a 3 31 4 = 44010 810 31 3 ( 2 + 3 3 i ) 1 3 + ( 2 3 3 i ) 1 3 .

Corollary 1

For any odd prime p, we have the asymptotic formula:

χ mod p a = 1 p 1 χ ( a ) e a 2 + a p 4 = 2 p 3 8 p 2 + O ( p 3 2 ) .

Corollary 2

For any prime p with p 1 mod 3 , we have the asymptotic formula:

χ mod p a = 1 p 1 χ ( a ) e a 3 p 4 = 5 3 p 3 + O ( p 5 2 ) .

In addition, it is natural to ask whether the fourth power mean

χ mod p a = 1 p 1 χ ( a ) e a 3 + a p 4

has an exact calculating formula? This is an open problem.

2 Several lemmas

In order to make the structure of the article concise and complete, we need to introduce four simple lemmas in this section. The proof of these lemmas requires some knowledge of elementary or analytic number theory, all of which can be found in [10] and [11], so we will not repeat them here.

Lemma 1

Let p be an odd prime. Then we have the identities

b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( b 2 1 ) + d ( b 1 ) p = b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( b 2 1 ) d ( b 1 ) p = p + 1 2 p sin π 2 p if p 1 mod 4 , p + 1 2 p cos π 2 p if p 3 mod 4 .

Proof

From some properties of the classical Gauss sums and the reduced (complete) residue system modulo p , we have

(1) b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( b 2 1 ) + d ( b 1 ) p = b = 0 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( b 2 + 2 b ) + d b p d = 1 p 1 e d 2 d p = p 1 + b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( 1 + 2 b ¯ ) + d p d = 1 p 1 e d 2 d p = p 1 + b = 0 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( 1 + 2 b ) + d p d = 1 p 1 e d 2 + d p d = 1 p 1 e d 2 d p = p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 + d p d = 1 p 1 e d 2 d p = p 1 d = 1 p 1 e ( d + 2 ¯ ) 2 4 ¯ p d = 1 p 1 e ( d + 2 ¯ ) 2 + 4 ¯ p = p 1 d = 0 p 1 e d 2 4 ¯ p + 1 d = 0 p 1 e d 2 + 4 ¯ p + 1 = p + 1 e 4 ¯ p d = 1 p 1 d p e d p e 4 ¯ p d = 1 p 1 d p e d p = p + 1 e 4 ¯ p τ ( χ 2 ) χ 2 ( 1 ) e 4 ¯ p τ ( χ 2 ) .

Note the identities

(2) τ ( χ 2 ) = p if p 1 mod 4 , i p if p 3 mod 4 ,

and

(3) χ 2 ( 1 ) = 1 if p 1 mod 4 , 1 if p 3 mod 4 .

Combining (1), (2), and (3), we have the identities

b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( b 2 1 ) + d ( b 1 ) p = p + 1 2 p sin π 2 p if p 1 mod 4 , p + 1 2 p cos π 2 p if p 3 mod 4 .

In the same way, we also have

b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( b 2 1 ) d ( b 1 ) p = p + 1 2 p sin π 2 p if p 1 mod 4 , p + 1 2 p cos π 2 p if p 3 mod 4 .

This proves Lemma 1.□

Lemma 2

Let p be a prime with 3 ( p 1 ) . Then for any third-order character λ modulo p, we have identity

(4) τ 3 ( λ ) + τ 3 ( λ ¯ ) = D p ,

where D is uniquely determined by 4 p = D 2 + 27 B 2 with D 1 mod 3 .

Proof

For detailed proof of Lemma 2, see [12] or [13].□

Lemma 3

Let p be a prime with 3 ( p 1 ) , then for any third-order character λ modulo p, we have identity

τ 5 ( λ ) + τ 5 ( λ ¯ ) = D p ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) 2 p 2 ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) 2 D p 2 .

Proof

Using (4) and noting that τ ( λ ) τ ( λ ¯ ) = p , we obtain

(5) ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) 5 = ( τ 3 ( λ ) + τ 3 ( λ ¯ ) + 3 τ ( λ ) τ ( λ ¯ ) ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) ) ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) 2 = ( D p + 3 p ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) ) ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) 2 = D p ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) 2 + 3 p ( τ 3 ( λ ) + τ 3 ( λ ¯ ) + 3 τ ( λ ) τ ( λ ¯ ) ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) ) = D p ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) 2 + 3 p ( D p + 3 p ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) ) = D p ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) 2 + 9 p 2 ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) + 3 D p 2 .

Moreover, we have

(6) ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) 5 = τ 5 ( λ ) + τ 5 ( λ ¯ ) + 5 τ 4 ( λ ) τ ( λ ¯ ) + 10 τ 3 ( λ ) τ 2 ( λ ¯ ) + 10 τ 2 ( λ ) τ 3 ( λ ¯ ) + 5 τ ( λ ) τ 4 ( λ ¯ ) = τ 5 ( λ ) + τ 5 ( λ ¯ ) + 10 τ 2 ( λ ) τ 2 ( λ ¯ ) ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) + 5 τ ( λ ) τ ( λ ¯ ) ( τ 3 ( λ ) + τ 3 ( λ ¯ ) ) = τ 5 ( λ ) + τ 5 ( λ ¯ ) + 10 p 2 ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) + 5 D p 2 .

Combining (5) and (6), we have

τ 5 ( λ ) + τ 5 ( λ ¯ ) = D p ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) 2 p 2 ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) 2 D p 2 .

This proves Lemma 3.□

Lemma 4

Let p be a prime with 3 ( p 1 ) . Then for any third-order character λ modulo p, we have identity

τ ( λ ) τ 2 ( λ ¯ ) τ ( λ ) 2 2 + τ ( λ ¯ ) τ 2 ( λ ) τ ( λ ¯ ) 2 2 = ( D 4 ) A k 2 + ( 4 p ) A k + 2 p ( 4 D ) ,

where A k = ω k D p 2 + D p 2 2 p 3 1 2 1 3 + ω k D p 2 D p 2 2 p 3 1 2 1 3 depends on p , k = 0 , k = 1 , or k = 2 , ω = 1 + 3 i 2 .

Proof

From (4) and noting that τ ( λ ) τ ( λ ¯ ) = p , we have

τ ( λ ) τ 2 ( λ ¯ ) τ ( λ ) 2 2 + τ ( λ ¯ ) τ 2 ( λ ) τ ( λ ¯ ) 2 2 = τ ( λ ) τ 3 ( λ ¯ ) p 2 2 + τ ( λ ¯ ) τ 3 ( λ ) p 2 2 = τ 5 ( λ ¯ ) p 4 τ 2 ( λ ¯ ) + 4 τ ( λ ) + τ 5 ( λ ) p 4 τ 2 ( λ ) + 4 τ ( λ ¯ ) = 1 p ( τ 5 ( λ ) + τ 5 ( λ ¯ ) ) 4 ( τ 2 ( λ ) + τ 2 ( λ ¯ ) ) + 4 ( τ ( λ ¯ ) + τ ( λ ) ) = D ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) 2 + ( 4 p ) ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) 2 D p 4 ( τ 2 ( λ ) + τ 2 ( λ ¯ ) ) = ( D 4 ) ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) 2 + ( 4 p ) ( τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) ) + 2 p ( 4 D ) .

For convenience, write the real number A = τ ( λ ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) , we construct cubic equation A 3 3 p A D p = 0 based on (4) and τ ( λ ) τ ( λ ¯ ) = p . According to Cardans formula (formula of roots of a cubic equation), we have A = A 1 , A 2 or A 3 , and

A 1 = D p 2 + D p 2 2 + ( p ) 3 1 2 1 3 + D p 2 D p 2 2 + ( p ) 3 1 2 1 3 , A 2 = ω D p 2 + D p 2 2 + ( p ) 3 1 2 1 3 + ω 2 D p 2 D p 2 2 + ( p ) 3 1 2 1 3 , A 3 = ω 2 D p 2 + D p 2 2 + ( p ) 3 1 2 1 3 + ω D p 2 D p 2 2 + ( p ) 3 1 2 1 3 ,

where ω = 1 + 3 i 2 . We can determine three real numbers A k ( k = 0 , 1 , 2 ) according to prime p . This proves Lemma 4.□

3 Proofs of the theorems

3.1 Proof of Theorem 1

First from the orthogonality of the characters modulo p we have

1 p 1 χ mod p a = 1 p 1 χ ( a ) e a 2 + a p 4 = a = 1 p 1 b = 1 p 1 c = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 a b c d mod p e a 2 + b 2 c 2 d 2 + a + b c d p = a = 1 p 1 b = 1 p 1 c = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 a b c mod p e d 2 ( a 2 + b 2 c 2 1 ) + d ( a + b c 1 ) p = a = 1 p 1 b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( a 2 + b 2 a 2 b 2 1 ) + d ( a + b a b 1 ) p = a = 1 p 1 b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( a 2 1 ) ( b 2 1 ) d ( a 1 ) ( b 1 ) p = a = 0 p 1 b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( a 2 + 2 a ) ( b 2 1 ) d a ( b 1 ) p b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( b 2 1 ) + d ( b 1 ) p = ( p 1 ) 2 + a = 1 p 1 b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( 1 + 2 a ¯ ) ( b 2 1 ) d ( b 1 ) p b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( b 2 1 ) + d ( b 1 ) p = ( p 1 ) 2 + a = 0 p 1 b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 a ( b 2 1 ) d ( b 1 ) p b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( b 2 1 ) d ( b 1 ) p b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( b 2 1 ) + d ( b 1 ) p = ( p 1 ) 2 + p ( p 1 ) p b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( b 2 1 ) d ( b 1 ) p b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( b 2 1 ) + d ( b 1 ) p = 2 p 2 4 p + 1 b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( b 2 1 ) d ( b 1 ) p b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 2 ( b 2 1 ) + d ( b 1 ) p .

Now taking result of Lemma 1 into the above we have the identities

1 p 1 χ mod p a = 1 p 1 χ ( a ) e a 2 + a p 4 = 2 p 2 6 p 1 + 4 p sin π 2 p if p 1 mod 4 , 2 p 2 6 p 1 + 4 p cos π 2 p if p 3 mod 4 .

This proves Theorem 1.

3.2 Proof of Theorem 2

Case 1. If 3 ( p 1 ) , then 1 3 , 2 3 , , ( p 1 ) 3 form a reduced residue system modulo p . Therefore,

(7) 1 p 1 χ mod p a = 1 p 1 χ ( a ) e a 3 p 4 = a = 1 p 1 b = 1 p 1 c = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 a b c d mod p e a 3 + b 3 c 3 d 3 p = a = 1 p 1 b = 1 p 1 c = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 a b c mod p e d 3 ( a 3 + b 3 c 3 1 ) p = a = 1 p 1 b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 3 ( a 3 1 ) ( b 3 1 ) p = a = 1 p 1 b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d ( a 1 ) ( b 1 ) p = 2 ( p 1 ) 2 ( p 1 ) ( p 2 ) 2 = p 2 p 1 .

Case 2. If 3 ( p 1 ) , by some properties of the Gauss sums and third-order character sums modulo p , we have

1 p 1 χ mod p a = 1 p 1 χ ( a ) e a 3 p 4 = a = 1 p 1 b = 1 p 1 c = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 a b c d mod p e a 3 + b 3 c 3 d 3 p = 1 3 a = 1 p 1 b = 1 p 1 c = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 a b c mod p e d 3 ( a 3 + b 3 c 3 1 ) p = 1 3 a = 1 p 1 b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 3 ( a 3 + b 3 a 3 b 3 1 ) p = 1 3 a = 1 p 1 b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 e d 3 ( a 3 1 ) ( b 3 1 ) p = a = 1 p 1 b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 p ( a 3 1 ) ( b 3 1 ) 1 + a = 1 p 1 b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 p ( a 3 1 ) ( b 3 1 ) e d 3 ( a 3 1 ) ( b 3 1 ) p = 2 ( p 1 ) 2 3 ( p 1 ) + 1 3 a = 1 p 1 b = 1 p 1 d = 1 p 1 p ( a 3 1 ) ( b 3 1 ) ( 1 + λ ( d ) + λ ¯ ( d ) ) e d ( a 3 1 ) ( b 3 1 ) p = 2 ( p 1 ) 2 3 ( p 1 ) + 1 3 a = 1 p 1 b = 1 p 1 p ( a 3 1 ) ( b 3 1 ) ( 1 + τ ( λ ) λ ¯ ( a 3 1 ) λ ¯ ( b 3 1 ) + τ ( λ ¯ ) λ ( a 3 1 ) λ ( b 3 1 ) ) = 2 ( p 1 ) 2 3 ( p 1 ) 1 3 ( p 4 ) 2 + 1 3 τ ( λ ) a = 1 p 1 b = 1 p 1 λ ¯ ( a 3 1 ) λ ¯ ( b 3 1 ) + 1 3 τ ( λ ¯ ) a = 1 p 1 b = 1 p 1 λ ( a 3 1 ) λ ( b 3 1 ) = 5 p 2 13 p 1 3 + 1 3 τ ( λ ) a = 1 p 1 λ ¯ ( a 3 1 ) 2 + 1 3 τ ( λ ¯ ) a = 1 p 1 λ ( a 3 1 ) 2 = 5 p 2 13 p 1 3 + 1 3 τ ( λ ) a = 1 p 1 ( 1 + λ ( a ) + λ ¯ ( a ) ) λ ¯ ( a 1 ) 2 + 1 3 τ ( λ ¯ ) a = 1 p 1 ( 1 + λ ( a ) + λ ¯ ( a ) ) λ ( a 1 ) 2

= 5 p 2 13 p 1 3 + 1 3 τ ( λ ) 2 + a = 1 p 1 λ ¯ ( a ) λ ¯ ( a 1 ) 2 + 1 3 τ ( λ ¯ ) 2 + a = 1 p 1 λ ( a ) λ ( a 1 ) 2 = 5 p 2 13 p 1 3 + 1 3 τ ( λ ) 2 + 1 τ ( λ ) b = 1 p 1 λ ( b ) a = 1 p 1 λ ¯ ( a ) e b ( a 1 ) p 2 + 1 3 τ ( λ ¯ ) 2 + 1 τ ( λ ¯ ) b = 1 p 1 λ ¯ ( b ) a = 1 p 1 λ ( a ) e b ( a 1 ) p 2 = 5 p 2 13 p 1 3 + 1 3 τ ( λ ) τ 2 ( λ ¯ ) τ ( λ ) 2 2 + 1 3 τ ( λ ¯ ) τ 2 ( λ ) τ ( λ ¯ ) 2 2 .

Now taking result of Lemma 4 into the above we have the identity

(8) 1 p 1 χ mod p a = 1 p 1 χ ( a ) e a 3 p 4 = 5 p 2 13 p 1 3 + ( D 4 ) A k 2 + ( 4 p ) A k + 2 p ( 4 D ) 3 .

Combining (7) and (8), we complete the proof of Theorem 2.
