We express Gauss sums for symplectic and orthogonal groups over finite fields as averages of exponential sums over certain maximal tori. Together with our previous results, we obtain some interesting identities involving various classical Gauss and Kloosterman sums.

The main purpose of this paper is to use the properties of primitive characters, Gauss sums and Ramanujan's sum to study the hybrid mean value of generalized Bernoulli numbers, general Kloosterman sums and Gauss sums, and give two asymptotic formulae.

Let ${\mathcal{R}}$ denote the Galois ring of characteristic $p^n$, where p is a prime. In this paper, we investigate the elementary properties of Gauss sums over ${\mathcal{R}}$ in accordance with conditions of characters of Galois rings, and we restate results for Gauss sums in [1, 2, 3, 7, 12, 13]. Also, we compute the modulus of the Gauss sums.

By using the analytic methods, the mean value of the general quadratic Gauss sums weighted by the first power mean of character sums over a short interval is investigated. Several sharp asymptotic formulae are obtained, which show that these sums enjoy good distributive properties. Moreover, interesting connections among them are established.

In this paper, we define and study Gauss sums over Galois rings of characteristic 4. In particular, we give the absolute value of Gauss sum over Galois rings of characteristic 4.

In this paper, using analytic method and the properties of the Legendre's symbol, we prove an exact calculating formula on the $2m$-th power mean value of the generalized quadratic Gauss sums for $m{\geq}2$. This solves a conjecture of He and Zhang [On the 2k-th power mean value of the generalized quadratic Gauss sums, Bull. Korean Math. Soc. 48 (2011), no. 1, 9-15].

The Galois ring R of characteristic pⁿ having p^mn elements is a finite extension of the ring of integers modulo pⁿ, where p is a prime number and n, m are positive integers. In this paper, we develop the concepts of Jacobi sums over R and under the assumption that the generating additive character of R is trivial on maximal ideal of R, we obtain the basic relationship between Gauss sums and Jacobi sums, which allows us to determine the absolute value of the Jacobi sums.

For a lifted nontrivial additive character $\lambda'$ and a multiplicative character $\chi$ of the finite field with $q^2$ elements, the 'Gauss' sums $\Sigma\lambda'$(tr $\omega$) over $\omega$ $\in$ SU(2n + 1, $q^2$) and $\Sigma\chi$(det $\omega$)$\lambda'$(tr $\omega$) over $\omega$ $\in$ U(2n + 1, $q^2$) are considered. We show that the first sum is a polynomial in q with coefficients involving certain new exponential sums and that the second one is a polynomial in q with coefficients involving powers of the usual twisted Kloosterman sums and the average (over all multiplicative characters of order dividing q-1) of the usual Gauss sums. As a consequence we can determine certain 'generalized Kloosterman sum over nonsingular Hermitian matrices' which were previously determined by J. H. Hodges only in the case that one of the two arguments is zero.

The Galois ring is a finite extension of the ring of integers modulo a prime power. We consider characters on Galois rings. In analogy with finite fields, we investigate complete Gauss sums over Galois rings. In particular, we analyze [1, Proposition 3] and give some lemmas related to [1, Proposition 3].

The main purpose of this paper is using the elementary and analytic methods to study the properties of the 2k-th power mean value of the generalized quadratic Gauss sums, and give two exact mean value formulae for k = 3 and 4.
