A stratification result for an exponential sum modulo p²

Publication date 26 February 2020

Abstract: In this note we consider algebraic exponential sums over the values of homogeneous nonsingular polynomials

F (x_{1}, c d o t s, x_{n}) i n m a t h b b Z [x_{1}, c d o t s, x_{n}]

in the quotient ring

m a t h b b Z / p^{2} m a t h b b Z

. We provide an estimate of this exponential sum and a corresponding stratification of the space

m a t h b b A_{m a t h b b F_{p}}^{n}

, which in particular illustrates a general stratification theorem of Fouvry and Katz.
