A Stickleberger theorem for p-adic Gauss sums

Number Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We define "splitting functions of level l" for any integer l>0. These functions generalize Dwork's splitting functions : they allow us to represent additive characters of order plp^l. Then we use these functions to obtain a Stickleberger theorem on the pp-adic valuation of new Gauss sums.
