Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0707.00010.] The authors deal with exponential sums on a torus \(X\) defined over the finite field \(k=\mathbb{F}_ q\); for a function \(f\in\mathbb{F}_ q [x_ 1,\dots,x_ n,(x_ 1\dots x_ n)^{-1}]={\mathcal O}(X)\) and a non- trivial additive character \(\psi\) of \(\mathbb{F}_ q\), they consider the sum \[ S(f)=\sum_{x\in(\mathbb{F}_ q^ \times)^ m}\psi(f(x))=\sum_ i \text{Tr}(F,H_ c^ i (X\otimes{\overline k},f^*{\mathcal L}_ \psi)). \] The purpose of this article is the explicit determination of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of the Frobenius map \(F\), when \(f\) is nondegenerate with respect to its Newton polyhedron at infinity. The method of proof, only sketched here, is \(\ell\)-adic and makes use of toroidal compactifications. A paper containing full proofs will appear soon. The present paper should be compared with the well-polished article of \textit{A. Adolphson} and \textit{S. Sperber} [(A-S) Invent. Math. 101, 63-79 (1990; Zbl 0764.11037)]. The results announced in the present paper are better than the ones of (A-S), obtained via \(p\)-adic methods: in particular the conditions that \(p\) should be large and that the Newton polygon of \(f\) should be ``simplicial are eliminated. As a consequence of the formula announced in this paper, a conjecture formulated in (A-S) is disproven.
