摘要

In this paper, we investigate the fourth moments of two-term exponential sums weighted by Dirichlet characters.Using properties of quadratic residues and the third-order character $ \psi $ modulo a prime $ p $ , we first present an explicit identity for the fourth moment of cubic exponential sums weighted by the Legendre symbol when $ (3,p-1)=3 $ .Subsequently, by counting solutions to certain congruence equations, we derive some results on the fourth mixed moments associated with quartic exponential sums weighted by an arbitrary Dirichlet character $ \chi\bmod p $ .
