Epigenetics is the study of how cells control gene activity without changing the DNA sequence. Epigenetic changes affect how genes are turned on and off or expressed, and thus help regulate how cells in different parts of the body use the same genetic code. Errors in the epigenetic process can not only lead to abnormal gene activity or inactivity, but can also influence alternative splicing (AS) and could cause human diseases. Understanding of how epigenetic defects can affect human health, especially for neurological disorders, could suggest targets for therapeutic interventions. For such a purpose, the Lesch-Nyhan disease (LND) has been selected as a valuable model to study the genetic-epigenetic interplay, especially to explore the epistasis between the housekeeping hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 (HPRT1) and β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) genes. This review is structured as follows: we begin with an overview about the monogenetic neurological disorders associated with epigenetic changes; next, the current knowledge on HPRT1 and APP genes is provided; then, the epistasis between HPRT1 and APP genes related to the neurobehavioral syndrome in LND is described; and finally, we present the construction of expression vectors to study intermolecular interactions between the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGprt) enzyme and APP in LND. Information obtained from such expression vectors would be useful for future directions to design therapies through epigenetic interventions.

Let q>1 be an integer and let χ be Dirichlet character modulo q. The Gauss sums G(m,χ;q) is defined as
G(m,χ;q)=q∑a=1χ(a)e(maq), |
where m is integer and e(y)=e2πiy.
Gauss sums is very important in the analytic number theory and related research filed. Many scholars studied its properties and obtained a series of interesting results (see [1-4,6,7,9-14,17,18]). For example, let χ be the primitive character modulo q, we have
G(m,χ;q)=¯χ(m)G(1,χ;q)≡¯χ(m)τ(χ) and |τ(χ)|=√q, |
where τ(χ)=∑qb=1χ(b)e(bq) and ¯χ is the complex conjugate of χ.
Berndt and Evans [3] studied the properties of cubic Gauss sums. Zhang and Hu [15] studied the number of the solutions of the diagonal cubic congruence equation mod p, they obtained the following results: Let p be a prime with p≡1mod3. Then for any third-order character λ modulo p, one has the identity
τ3(λ)+τ3(¯λ)=dp, | (1.1) |
where d is uniquely determined by 4p=d2+27b2 and d≡1mod3.
In addition, Chen and Zhang [8] studied the case of the fourth-order character modulo p, and obtained an identity (see the Lemma 1). Chen [5] studied the properties of the Gauss sums of the sixth-order character modulo p. It is not hard to see from [5,8,15], the number of these characters is 2. What about the number of the characters >2? Motivated by that, Zhang et al. [16] studied the eight-order and twelve-order characters.
In this article, we shall further study the generalization. That is, the number of the characters is ϕ(2k)=2k−1≥4. We prove several identities involving the Gauss sums of the 2k-order character modulo an odd prime p with p≡1mod2k(k≥3). We give several exact and interesting formulae for them.
Theorem 1. Let p be an odd prime with p≡1mod16. If χ16 denotes asixteen-order character modulo p, then we have the identity
|τ4(χ716)τ4(χ16)+τ4(χ516)τ4(χ316)|=|τ4(χ916)τ4(χ1516)+τ4(χ1116)τ4(χ1316)|=2⋅|α|√p, |
where α=12p−1∑a=1(a+ˉap), ˉa denotes the multiplicative inverse of a modulo p, and (∗p) denotes the Legendre's symbol modulo p.
Theorem 2. Let p be an odd prime with p≡1mod32. If χ32 denotes a 32-order character modulo p, then we have the identity
|τ4(χ732)⋅τ4(χ1532)τ4(χ32)⋅τ4(χ932)+τ4(χ532)⋅τ4(χ1332)τ4(χ332)⋅τ4(χ1132)|=2⋅|α|√p. |
More generally, for any positive integer k, we have the following theorem.
Theorem 3. Let k≥5 be an integer. For any prime p with p≡1mod2k, if χ2k=ψ denotes a 2k-order character modulo p, then we have the identity
|2k−1−1∏j=1j≡−1mod8τ4(ψj)2k−1−1∏h=1h≡1mod8τ4(ψh)+2k−1−1∏j=1j≡−3mod8τ4(ψj)2k−1−1∏h=1h≡3mod8τ4(ψh)|=2⋅|α|√p. |
In this section, we will give several lemmas by using the relevant properties of character sums.
Lemma 1. Let p be a prime with p≡1mod4, then for any fourth-order character χ4 modulo p, we have
τ2(χ4)+τ2(¯χ4)=2√p⋅α, |
where α=12p−1∑a=1(a+ˉap), and (∗p)=χ2 denotes the Legendre's symbol modulo p.
Proof. See Lemma 3 in [7].
Lemma 2. Let p be a prime with p≡1mod4. Then for any non-principal character ψmodp, we have the identity
τ(¯ψ2)=¯ψ(−4)⋅√p⋅τ(¯ψχ2)τ(ψ). |
Proof. From the properties of the classical Gauss sums we have
p−1∑a=0ψ(a2−1)=p−1∑a=0ψ((a+1)2−1)=p−1∑a=1ψ(a2+2a)=p−1∑a=1ψ(a)ψ(a+2)=1τ(¯ψ)p−1∑a=1ψ(a)p−1∑b=1¯ψ(b)e(b(a+2)p)=1τ(¯ψ)p−1∑b=1¯ψ(b)p−1∑a=1ψ(a)e(b(a+2)p)=τ(ψ)τ(¯ψ)p−1∑b=1¯ψ(b)¯ψ(b)e(2bp)=τ(ψ)τ(¯ψ)p−1∑b=1¯ψ2(b)e(2bp)=ψ(4)τ(¯ψ2)τ(ψ)τ(¯ψ). | (2.1) |
On the other hand, for any integer b with (b,p)=1, we have the identity
p−1∑a=0e(ba2p)=1+p−1∑a=1(1+χ2(a))e(bap)=p−1∑a=1χ2(a)e(bap)=χ2(b)⋅√p, |
so note that χ2(−1)=1 we also have the identity
p−1∑a=0ψ(a2−1)=1τ(¯ψ)p−1∑a=0p−1∑b=1¯ψ(b)e(b(a2−1)p)=1τ(¯ψ)p−1∑b=1¯ψ(b)e(−bp)p−1∑a=0e(ba2p)=τ(χ2)τ(¯ψ)p−1∑b=1¯ψ(b)χ2(b)e(−bp)=√pτ(¯ψ)p−1∑b=1¯ψχ2(b)e(−bp)=¯ψ(−1)√p⋅τ(¯ψχ2)τ(¯ψ). | (2.2) |
Combining (2.1) and (2.2) we have the identity
τ(¯ψ2)=¯ψ(−4)⋅√p⋅τ(¯ψχ2)τ(ψ). |
This proves Lemma 2.
Lemma 3. Let p be an odd prime with p≡1mod8. If χ8 is an 8-order character modulo p, then we have
|τ4(χ8)+τ4(χ38)|=2⋅p32⋅|α|. |
Proof. Taking ψ=χ8, then ψ2=χ4 is a four-order character modulo p. Note that ψ2(−4)=1, from Lemmas 1 and 2 we have
2⋅√p⋅α=τ2(¯ψ2)+τ2(ψ2)=p⋅τ2(¯ψχ2)τ2(ψ)+p⋅τ2(ψχ2)τ2(¯ψ) |
or
τ2(¯ψχ2)τ2(ψ)+τ2(ψχ2)τ2(¯ψ)=2⋅α√p. | (2.3) |
Note that ¯ψχ2=ψ3, ¯ψ=ψ7 and τ2(χ58)τ2(χ78)=τ2(χ8)τ2(χ38), from (2.3) we have the identity
τ4(χ8)+τ4(χ38)=2⋅α√p⋅τ2(χ8)τ2(χ38). | (2.4) |
Now Lemma 3 follows from (2.4).
In this section, we shall give the proof of all results by using the properties of the classical Gauss sums, the elementary and analytic methods. For Theorem 1, Let p be an odd prime with p≡1mod16, and χ16 is a sixteen-order character modulo p, then from Lemma 2 we have
τ4(¯χ8)=¯χ416(−4)⋅p2⋅τ4(χ716)τ4(χ16)=p2⋅τ4(χ716)τ4(χ16) | (3.1) |
and
τ4(¯χ38)=¯χ1216(−4)⋅p2⋅τ4(χ2116)τ4(χ316)=p2⋅τ4(χ516)τ4(χ316). | (3.2) |
Applying (3.1), (3.2) and Lemma 3 we have
2⋅p32⋅|α|=|τ4(χ8)+τ4(χ38)|=|τ4(¯χ8)+τ4(¯χ38)|=p2⋅|τ4(χ716)τ4(χ16)+τ4(χ516)τ4(χ316)| |
or identity
|τ4(χ716)τ4(χ16)+τ4(χ516)τ4(χ316)|=2⋅|α|√p. |
This proves Theorem 1.
Now we prove the Theorem 2. Let p be an odd prime with p≡1mod32, and χ32 is a 32-order character modulo p, then from Lemma 2 we have
τ4(¯χ16)=¯χ432(−4)⋅p2⋅τ4(χ1532)τ4(χ32)=¯χ4(2)⋅p2⋅τ4(χ1532)τ4(χ32) | (3.3) |
and
τ4(¯χ716)=¯χ2832(−4)⋅p2⋅τ4(χ10532)τ4(χ732)=χ4(2)⋅p2⋅τ4(χ932)τ4(χ732). | (3.4) |
Since χ24(2)=χ2(2)=1, from (3.3) and (3.4) we get
τ4(¯χ716)τ4(¯χ16)=τ4(χ32)⋅τ4(χ932)τ4(χ732)⋅τ4(χ1532) | (3.5) |
and
τ4(¯χ516)τ4(¯χ316)=τ4(χ332)⋅τ4(χ1132)τ4(χ532)⋅τ4(χ1332). | (3.6) |
Noting that
|τ4(¯χ32)⋅τ4(¯χ932)τ4(¯χ732)⋅τ4(¯χ1532)+τ4(¯χ332)⋅τ4(¯χ1132)τ4(¯χ532)⋅τ4(¯χ1332)|=|τ4(χ732)⋅τ4(χ1532)τ4(χ32)⋅τ4(χ932)+τ4(χ532)⋅τ4(χ1332)τ4(χ332)⋅τ4(χ1132)|. | (3.7) |
Combining (3.5)–(3.7) and Theorem 1 we immediately have the identity
|τ4(χ732)⋅τ4(χ1532)τ4(χ32)⋅τ4(χ932)+τ4(χ532)⋅τ4(χ1332)τ4(χ332)⋅τ4(χ1132)|=|τ4(¯χ32)⋅τ4(¯χ932)τ4(¯χ732)⋅τ4(¯χ1532)+τ4(¯χ332)⋅τ4(¯χ1132)τ4(¯χ532)⋅τ4(¯χ1332)|=|τ4(χ32)⋅τ4(χ932)τ4(χ732)⋅τ4(χ1532)+τ4(χ332)⋅τ4(χ1132)τ4(χ532)⋅τ4(χ1332)|=|τ4(¯χ716)τ4(¯χ16)+τ4(¯χ516)τ4(¯χ316)|=|τ4(χ716)τ4(χ16)+τ4(χ516)τ4(χ316)|=2⋅|α|√p. |
This proves Theorem 2.
From Theorems 1 and 2 we know that Theorem 3 is true for k=4 and 5. Assuming that Theorem 3 holds true for k=n≥5. That is,
|2n−1−1∏j=1j≡−1mod8τ4(ψj)2n−1−1∏h=1h≡1mod8τ4(ψh)+2n−1−1∏j=1j≡−3mod8τ4(ψj)2n−1−1∏h=1h≡3mod8τ4(ψh)|=2⋅|α|√p, | (3.8) |
where ψ=χ2n is a 2n-order character modulo p.
So the conjugate of (3.8) is
|2n−1−1∏j=1j≡−1mod8τ4(¯ψj)2n−1−1∏h=1h≡1mod8τ4(¯ψh)+2n−1−1∏j=1j≡−3mod8τ4(¯ψj)2n−1−1∏h=1h≡3mod8τ4(¯ψh)|=2⋅|α|√p. | (3.9) |
Then for k=n+1 and j with j≡1mod8, from Lemma 2 we have
τ4(¯χ7j2n)τ4(¯χj2n)=¯χ3j2n−1(24)⋅τ4(χj2n+1)⋅τ4(χj(2n−23+1)2n+1)τ4(χ7j2n+1)⋅τ4(χj(2n−1)2n+1). | (3.10) |
Note that the identity
2n−3−1∏s=0¯χ3(8s+1)2n(24)=¯χ2n−3+2n−1(2n−1−1)2n(212)=1. |
From (3.9) and (3.10) we may immediately deduce the identity
|2n−1∏j=1j≡−1mod8τ4(¯χj2n+1)2n−1∏h=1h≡1mod8τ4(¯χh2n+1)+2n−1∏j=1j≡−3mod8τ4(¯χj2n+1)2n−1∏h=1h≡3mod8τ4(¯χh2n+1)|=2⋅|α|√p. | (3.11) |
Taking the conjugate for (3.11), this implies that Theorem 3 is complete for k=n+1.
This proves Theorem 3 by mathematical induction.
The main result of this paper is to prove a new identity for the classical Gauss sums. That is, if p is a prime with p≡1mod2k, k≥4, then for any 2k-order character ψ modulo p, we have the identity
|2k−1−1∏j=1j≡−1mod8τ4(ψj)2k−1−1∏h=1h≡1mod8τ4(ψh)+2k−1−1∏j=1j≡−3mod8τ4(ψj)2k−1−1∏h=1h≡3mod8τ4(ψh)|=2⋅|α|√p. |
These results give the exact values of some special Gauss sums and reveal the values distribution of classical Gauss sums. This not only promotes the research of some well-known sums, such as Kloosterman sums, which plays an important role in the study of the Diophantine equation, but also makes new contributions to the research of other related fields.
