VARIATION OF p -ADIC NEWTON POLYGONS FOR L-FUNCTIONS OF EXPONENTIAL SUMS

چکیده
Abstract. In this paper, we continue to develop the systematic decomposition theory [18] for the generic Newton polygon attached to a family of zeta functions over finite fields and more generally a family of L-functions of n-dimensional exponential sums over finite fields. Our aim is to establish a new collapsing decomposition theorem (Theorem 3.7) for the generic Newton polygon. A number of applications to zeta functions and L-functions are given, including the full form of the remaining 3 and 4-dimensional cases of the Adolphson-Sperber conjecture [2], which were left un-resolved in [18]. To make the paper more readable and useful, we have included an expanded introductory section as well as detailed examples to illustrate how to use the main theorems.

T-adic Exponential Sums over Finite Fields
T -adic exponential sums associated to a Laurent polynomial f are introduced. They interpolate all classical p-power order exponential sums associated to f . The Hodge bound for the Newton polygon of L-functions of T -adic exponential sums is established. This bound enables us to determine, for all m, the Newton polygons of Lfunctions of p-power order exponential sums associated to an f which i...
متن کاملNewton Polygons for Twisted Exponential Sums
We study the p-adic absolute value of the roots of the L-functions associated to certain twisted character sums, and additive character sums associated to polynomials P (x d), when P varies among the space of polynomial of fixed degree e over a finite field of characteristic p. For sufficiently large p, we determine in both cases generic Newton polygons for these L-functions, which is a lower b...

متن کاملT-ADIC L-FUNCTIONS OF p-ADIC EXPONENTIAL SUMS
The T -adic deformation of p-adic exponential sums is defined. It interpolates all classical p-power order exponential sums over a finite field. Its generating L-function is a T -adic entire function. We give a lower bound for its T -adic Newton polygon and show that the lower bound is often sharp. We also study the variation of this L-function in an algebraic family, in particular, the T -adic...
متن کاملHODGE-STICKELBERGER POLYGONS FOR L-FUNCTIONS OF EXPONENTIAL SUMS OF P (x)
Let Fq be a finite field of cardinality q and characteristic p. Let P (x) be any one-variable Laurent polynomial over Fq of degree (d1, d2) respectively and p d1d2. For any fixed s ≥ 1 coprime to p, we prove that the q-adic Newton polygon of the L-functions of exponential sums of P (xs) has a tight lower bound which we call HodgeStickelberger polygon, depending only on the d1, d2, s and the res...
