Extract

In a recent paper, Parson and Sheingorn [11[ gave some estimates for certain exponential sums associated with Ramanujan's τ-function and, in general, with the Fourier coefficients of the cusp forms for the full modular group which are eigenfunctions for the Hecke operators. The exponential sums considered in that paper are closely connected with the exponential sum

where α ∈ ℝ and e(θ) = e2πiθ, and the methods used in [11] go back essentially to Hardy-Littlewood [5], Hardy [4], Hecke [6], Wilton [19] and Walfisz [18].
