Abstract:

Let cq(n) be the Ramanujan sum and let S(m, n;q) be the Kloosterman sum. We study the eigenvalues of q × q matrices whose (m, n) entry is cq(m - n) or S(m, n; q), where q is a fixed positive integer. We also study the eigenvalues of matrices whose entries are sums of Ramanujan sums or sums of Kloosterman sums.
