We prove that the angles of Kloosterman sums over arbitrary finite field are incommensurable with the constant π. In particular, this implies that the Weil bound for Kloosterman sums over finite fields cannot be reached.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
