Eigenvalues of Matrices whose Elements are Ramanujan Sums or Kloosterman Sums

Abstract

Let $c_q(n)$ be the Ramanujan sums and let $S(m,n;q)$ be the Kloosterman sums. We study the eigenvalues of $q \times q$ matrices whose $(m,n)$ entry is $c_q (m-n)$ 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.
