Abstract

We examine the Linnik and Selberg Conjectures concerning sums of Kloosterman sums, in all its aspects (x, m and n). We correct the precise form of the Conjecture and establish an analogue of Kuznetzov’s 1/6 exponent in the mn aspect. This, perhaps somewhat surprisingly, is connected with the transional ranges associated with asymptotics of Bessel Functions of large order.
