A Gauss sum estimate in arbitrary finite fields
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 342 (2006) no. 9, pp. 643-646.

We establish bounds on exponential sums xFqψ(xn) where q=pm, p prime, and ψ an additive character on Fq. They extend the earlier work of Bourgain, Glibichuk, and Konyagin to fields that are not of prime order (m2). More precisely, a non-trivial estimate is obtained provided n satisfies gcd(n,q1pν1)<pνq1ε for all 1ν<m, ν|m, where ε>0 is arbitrary.

On etabli des bornes sur les sommes d'exponentielles xFqψ(xn)q=pm, p est premier et ψ est un caractère additif de Fq. Il s'agit d'une extension des résultats de Bourgain, Glibichuk, et Konyagin pour un corps qui n'est pas d'ordre premier, c'est-à-dire m2. On obtient une estimée non-triviale pour tout n satisfaisant la condition pgcd(n,q1pν1)<pνq1ε pour tout 1ν<m,ν|m et où ε>0 est arbitraire.
