An inverse theorem for Gowers norms of trace functions over prime fields

Number Theory 2013-02-12 v3

Abstract

We prove estimates for the Gowers uniformity norms of functions over \Zz/p\Zz\Zz/p\Zz which are trace functions of certain \ell-adic sheaves, and establish in particular a strong inverse theorem for these functions.
