Abstract: Let $p$ be a prime number. Every $n$-variable polynomial $f(underlinex)$ over a finite field of characteristic $p$ defines an Artin--Schreier--Witt tower of varieties whose Galois group is isomorphic to $mathbb{Z}_p$. Our goal of this paper is to study the Newton polygon of the $L$-function associated to a finite character of $mathbb{Z}_p$ and a generic polynomial whose convex hull is an $n$-dimensional paralleltope $Delta$. We denote this polygon by $mathrmGNP(Delta)$. We prove a lower bound of $mathrmGNP(Delta)$, which is called the improved Hodge polygon $mathrmIHP(Delta)$. We show that $mathrmIHP(Delta)$ lies above the usual Hodge polygon $mathrmHP(Delta)$ at certain infinitely many points, and when $p$ is larger than a fixed number determined by $Delta$, it coincides with $mathrmGNP(Delta)$ at these points. As a corollary, we roughly determine the distribution of the slopes of $mathrmGNP(Delta)$.
