Abstract

We determine the set of polynomials f(x)k[x]f(x)\in k[x], where kk is a finite field, such that the local system on Gm2\mathbb G_m^2 which parametrizes the family of exponential sums (s,t)xkψ(sf(x)+tx)(s,t)\mapsto\sum_{x\in k}\psi(sf(x)+tx) has finite monodromy, in two cases: when f(x)=xd+λxef(x)=x^d+\lambda x^e is a binomial and when f(x)=(xα)d(xβ)ef(x)=(x-\alpha)^d(x-\beta)^e is of Belyi type.
