Title: Bounds for bilinear forms with Kloosterman
sums
Abstract: Bilinear forms usually provide powerful
tools in number theory with important applications to
prime number theory and moments of L-functions. In
this talk, we discuss some new bounds for bilinear
forms with Kloosterman sums, complementing and
improving a series of results by Fouvry, Kowalski,
Michel, Sawin and Shparlinski. The arguments are
essentially elementary and combinatorial. If time
permits, we will also mention an application to
divisor functions in arithmetic progressions on
average. Joint work with Bryce Kerr, Igor Shparlinski
and Xiaosheng Wu.
