Abstract: We fix a monic polynomial over a finite field of characteristic p, and consider the mathbbZpell-Artin-Schreier-Witt tower defined by ; this is a tower of curves cdotsoCmoCm−1ocdotsoC0=mathbbA1, whose Galois group is canonically isomorphic to mathbbZpell, the degree ell unramified extension of mathbbZp, which is abstractly isomorphic to (mathbbZp)ell as a topological group. We study the Newton slopes of zeta functions of this tower of curves. This reduces to the study of the Newton slopes of L-functions associated to characters of the Galois group of this tower. We prove that, when the conductor of the character is large enough, the Newton slopes of the L-function asymptotically form a finite union of arithmetic progressions. As a corollary, we prove the spectral halo property of the spectral variety associated to the mathbbZpell-Artin-Schreier-Witt tower. This extends the main result in [DWX] from rank one case ell=1 to the higher rank case ellgeq1.
