We express Gauss sums for symplectic and orthogonal groups over finite fields as averages of exponential sums over certain maximal tori. Together with our previous results, we obtain some interesting identities involving various classical Gauss and Kloosterman sums.

In studying smooth 4-manifolds the Donaldson invariant has played a central role. In [D1] Donaldson showed that non-vanishing Donaldson invariant of a smooth closed oriented 4-manifold X gives rise to the indecomposability of X. For instance, the complex algebraic suface X cannot decompose to a connected sum $X_1 #X_2$ with both $b_2^+(X_i) > 0$.

The action of mapping class groups of a handlebody on the first homology group is investigated. A homological analogy of mapping class groups of a handlebody is defined and its system of generators is given.

In the article we show that nondieomorphic symplectic 4-manifolds which admit marked Lefschetz fibrations can share the same monodromy group. Explicitly we prove that, for each integer g > 0, every knot surgery 4-manifold in a family {$E(2)_K{\mid}K$ is a bered 2-bridge knot of genus g in $S^3$} admits a marked Lefschetz fibration structure which has the same monodromy group.

Let V be a vector space of dimension m over Q, and let (, ) be a non-degenerate bilinear form on V. Let r be the Witt index of V, and let $V = V' + V_0 + V"$ be the Witt decomposition, where $V_0$ is anisotropic and V', V" are paired non-singularly. Let H = O(m-r, r) be the isometry group of V, (, ), viewed as an algebraic group over Q. Let G = Sp(n) be the symplectic group of rank n defined over Q.ed over Q.

Some modular representations of reflection groups related to Weyl groups are considered. The rational cohomology of the classifying space of a compact connected Lie group G with a maximal torus T is expressed as the ring of invariants, H*(BG; ℚ) ≅ H*(BT; ℚ)^W(G), which is a polynomial ring. If such Lie groups are locally isomorphic, the rational representations of their Weyl groups are equivalent. However, the integral representations need not be equivalent. Under the mod p reductions, we consider the structure of the rings, particularly for the Weyl group of symplectic groups Sp(n) and for the alternating groups A_n as the subgroup of W(SU(n)). We will ask if such rings of invariants are polynomial rings, and if each of them can be realized as the mod p cohomology of a space. For n = 3, 4, the rings under a conjugate of W(Sp(n)) are shown to be polynomial, and for n = 6, 8, they are non-polynomial. The structures of H*(BT^n-1; 𝔽_p)^A_n will be also discussed for n = 3, 4.
