On integer values of Kloosterman sums
Abstract. In this note we use Carlitz's lifting formula for Kloosterman sums and some results from the theory of cyclotomic fields to show that a Kloosterman sum over a finite field obtains a rational integer value at a fixed point if and only if the same sum lifted to any extension field remains a rational integer.
