Title
On ternary Kloosterman sums modulo 12
Abstract
Let K(a) denote the Kloosterman sum on F"3"^"m. It is easy to see that K(a)=2(mod3) for all a@?F"3"^"m. We completely characterize those a@?F"3"^"m for which K(a)=1(mod2), K(a)=0(mod4) and K(a)=2(mod4). The simplicity of the characterization allows us to count the number of the a@?F"3"^"m belonging to each of these three classes. As a byproduct we offer an alternative proof for a new class of quasi-perfect ternary linear codes recently presented by Danev and Dodunekov.
