Energy bounds for modular roots and their applications

We generalise and improve some recent bounds for additive energies of modular roots. Our arguments use a variety of techniques, including those from additive combinatorics, algebraic number theory and the geometry of numbers. We give applications of these results to new bounds on correlations between Salié sums and to a new equidistribution estimate for the set of modular roots of primes.
