Extract

The method of the large sieve has played a very important role in number theory. It turns out that estimates of exponential sums are of basic importance for large sieve inequalities. Let

be an exponential sum with complex coefficients c(n). It follows from Theorem 1 of Bombieri and Davenport [1] that
