In this brief note, we consider p-adic unit roots or poles of L-functions of exponential sums defined over finite fields. In particular, we look at the number of unit roots or poles, and a congruence relation on the units. This raises a…

We obtain new bounds of exponential sums modulo a prime $p$ with sparse polynomials $a_0x^{n_0} + \cdots + a_{\nu}x^{n_\nu}$. The bounds depend on various greatest common divisors of exponents $n_0, \ldots, n_\nu$ and their differences. In…

In this paper, we study the Newton polygons for the $L$-functions of $n$-variable generalized Kloosterman sums. Generally, the Newton polygon has a topological lower bound, called the Hodge polygon. In order to determine the Hodge polygon,…

Let $\chi$ be an order $c$ multiplicative character of a finite field and $f(x)=x^d+\lambda x^e$ a binomial with $(d,e)=1$. We study the twisted classical and $T$-adic Newton polygons of $f$. When $p>(d-e)(2d-1)$, we give a lower bound of…

The L-function of a non-degenerate twisted Witt extension is proved to be a polynomial. Its Newton polygon is proved to lie above the Hodge polygon of that extension. And the Newton polygons of the Gauss-Heilbronn sums are explicitly…

In this paper, we completely determine the slopes and weights of the L-functions of an important class of exponential sums arising from analytic number theory. Our main tools include Adolphson-Sperber's work on toric exponential sums and…

In this paper, we shall precise the asymptotic behaviour of Newton polygons of $L$ functions associated to character sums, coming from some $n$ variable Laurent polynomials. In order to do this, we use the free sum on convex polytopes. This…

In this paper we consider the Newton polygons of $L$-functions coming from additive exponential sums associated to a polynomial over a finite field $\F_q$. These polygons define a stratification of the space of polynomials of fixed degree.…

We study $p$-adic Euler's series $E_p(t) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}k!t^k$ at a point $p^a$, $a \in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 1}$, and use Pad\'e approximations to prove a lower bound for the $p$-adic absolute value of the expression $cE_p\left(\pm…

We consider arbitrary algebraic families of lower order deformations of nondegenerate toric exponential sums over a finite field. We construct a relative polytope with the aid of which we define a ring of coefficients consisting of p-adic…

We study the p-adic valuations of roots of L-functions associated with certain families of exponential sums of Laurent polynomials in n variables over a finite field. The families we consider are reflection and Kloosterman variants of…

In this paper we construct a generating polynomial over the rationals for the generic Newton polygon for the L function of exponential sums of the family of f = x^d+ a x^s parameterized by a, and prove some of its key properties. The…

For prime $p\equiv-1\bmod d$ and $q$ a power of $p$, we obtain the slopes of the $q$-adic Newton polygons of $L$-functions of $x^d+ax^{d-1}\in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ with respect to finite characters $\chi$ when $p$ is larger than an explicit…

Power series are introduced that are simultaneously convergent for all real and p-adic numbers. Our expansions are in some aspects similar to those of exponential, trigonometric, and hyperbolic functions. Starting from these series and…

We propose a conjecture for exponential sums which generalizes both a conjecture by Igusa and a local variant by Denef and Sperber, in particular, it is without the homogeneity condition on the polynomial in the phase, and with new…

We p-adically interpolate the relative de Rham cohomology of the universal elliptic curve over strict neighbourhoods of the ordinary locus of modular curves, together with the Hodge filtration and Gauss-Manin connection. Sections of these…

We introduce a general class $F_0$ of additive functions $f$ such that $f(p) = 1$ and prove a tight bound for exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n \le x} f(n) e(\alpha n)$ where $f \in F_0$ and $e(\theta) = \exp(2\pi i \theta)$. Both…

This expository paper is based on the author's series of lectures delivered at the January 1999 Mini-course in Number Theory, held at Sogang University (Seoul). The aim is to give an elementary and self-contained introduction to the theory…

The $p$-adic Newton polygon is a visual tool that encodes information about the roots and factorization of a polynomial relative to a prime $p$. In this article, we investigate how the Newton polygon changes under polynomial composition. If…
