Kloosterman sum is one of the most famous exponential sums
in number theory. It is defined using a prime p (and another number).
How do these sums vary with p? Ron Evans has made several conjectures
relating the moment of Kloosterman sums for p to the p-th Fourier
coefficient of certain modular forms. We sketch a proof of his
conjectures.
