Kloosterman sum and multiples of 16

107 Views Asked by At

A Kloosterman sum is defined as

$$K(a,b;m)=\sum_{\substack{ 0\leq x \leq m-1\\\gcd(x,m)=1}} e^{2\pi \mathcal{i} (ax+bx^*)/m}$$

where $a,b,m \in \mathbb{N}$ and $x^*$ is the inverse of $x$ modulo $m$.

How can I show that

$$K(1,1;16n)\neq 0$$

for odd $n$?
