Exponential sums along \(p\)-adic curves. (Q1870024)

The author estimates certain exponential sums along \(p\)-adic curves. There are considered exponential sums along parametric curves and along non-singular curves. It is proved that when the \(p\)-adic absolute value of \(z\) is enough big, the complex absolute value of \(S_m(z,\Psi,Y,g) := \sum_{x\in Y_m}\, \Psi(zg(x))\) is \(O(q^{m(1-\beta(f,g))})\) for a positive constant \(\beta(f,g)\) in \((0,1)\).
