Many exponential sums over finite fields, including Gauss sums and Kloosterman sums, arise as the Fourier transform with respect to a character of the trace function of an $\ell$-adic sheaf on a commutative algebraic group. We study the…

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, the formulas of some exponential sums over finite field, related to the Coulter's polynomial, are settled based on the Coulter's theorems on Weil sums, which may have potential application in the construction of linear codes…

We survey some of the stratification theorems concerning exponential sums over finite fields, especially those due to Katz-Laumon and Fouvry-Katz, as well as some of their applications. Moreover, motivated partly by recent work of Bonolis,…

We give two applications of our earlier work "Exponential sums on A^n, II" (math.AG/9909009). We compute the p-adic cohomology of certain exponential sums on A^n involving a polynomial whose homogeneous component of highest degree defines a…

We discuss exponential sums on affine space from the point of view of Dwork's p-adic cohomology theory

In this paper we construct a Dwork theory for general exponential sums over affinoids in Witt towers. Using this, we compute the degree of the $L$-function, its Hodge polygon and examine when the Hodge and Newton polygons coincide.

We consider the theory of algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero with multivalued operations $x\mapsto x^r$ (raising to powers). It is in fact the theory of equations in exponential sums. In an earlier paper we have described…

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…

This paper is concerned with the study of the fractional finite sums theory. We present the classes of functions for which it is possible to characterize the constant related to the derivative of fractional sums (denominated by essence of a…

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 examine exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n \le X} w(n) e^{2\pi i\alpha n^k}$, for $k=1,2$, where $\alpha$ satisfies a generalized Diophantine approximation and where $w$ are different arithmetic functions that might be multiplicative,…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ denote the finite field of order $q$ (a power of a prime $p$). We study the $p$-adic valuations for zeros of $L$-functions associated with exponential sums of the following family of Laurent polynomials…

We prove the remaining part of the conjecture by Denef and Sperber [Denef, J. and Sperber, S., \textit{Exponential sums mod $p^n$ and {N}ewton polyhedra}, Bull. Belg. Math. Soc., {\bf{suppl.}} (2001) 55-63] on nondegenerate local…

For each positive integer k, we investigate the L-function attached to the k-th symmetric power of the F-crystal associated to the family of cubic exponential sums of x^3 + \lambda x. We explore its rationality, field of definition, degree,…

In this note, we presented a new decomposition of elements of finite fields of even order and illustrated that it is an effective tool in evaluation of some specific exponential sums over finite fields, the explicit value of some…

The article presents mathematical generalization of results which originated as solutions of practical problems, in particular, the modeling of transitional processes in electrical circuits and problems of resource allocation. However, the…

We describe mean value estimates for exponential sums of degree exceeding 2 that approach those conjectured to be best possible. The vehicle for this recent progress is the efficient congruencing method, which iteratively exploits the…

The main purpose of this paper is to propose some interesting number theory problems related to the Legendre's symbol and the two-term exponential sums.

This note concerns exponential sheaves and the "universal" Fourier transform on them. Fourier invertibility and the subsequent Fourier miracle is demonstrated. Further, t-structures and realizations are constructed and shown to have…
