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 mathbbZp. Our goal of this paper is to study the Newton polygon of the L-function associated to a finite character of mathbbZp 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).
