Identities arising from Gauss sums for symplectic and orthogonal groups

Abstract

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.

Keywords: Gauss sums, exponential sums, symplectic groups, orthogonal groups
