Stevens' Approach to Kloosterman Sums on Split Groups
Abstract
We develop a uniform framework for Stevens' approach to Kloosterman sums on split groups over p-adic fields. The main result reduces the bounding of Kloosterman sums to that for the so-called Plücker-constrained sets, which are certain subsets of affine spaces constrained by conditions giving by the Plücker coordinates. We then give a nontrivial bound for the Kloosterman sums on the exceptional group G2. As an application, we obtain the regularity of Bessel distributions associated with generic representations on G2.
