    Sign changes of Kloosterman sums with almost prime moduli

    Full text link
    We prove that the Kloosterman sum S(1,1;c)S(1,1;c) can change sign infinitely often as cc runs over squarefree moduli with at most 10 prime factors, which improves the previous results of E. Fouvry and Ph. Michel, J. Sivak-Fischler and K. Matom\"{a}ki, replacing 10 by 23, 18 and 15, respectively. The method combines the Selberg sieve, equidistribution of Kloosterman sums and spectral theory of automorphic forms.Comment: 18 pages, to appear in Monatshefte f\"ur Mathemati
