Varieties over finite and local fields (11G25) Other character sums and Gauss sums (11T24) Other analytic theory (analogues of beta and gamma functions, (p)-adic integration, etc.) (11S80) Special functions in characteristic (p) (gamma functions, etc.) (33E50)

Abstract: We provide a formula for the number of $mathbb{F}_p$-points on the Dwork hypersurface ${\displaystyle }$x_1^n + x_2^n dots + x_n^n - n lambda , x_1 x_2 dots x_n=0${\displaystyle }$ in terms of a $p$-adic hypergeometric function previously defined by the author. This formula holds in the general case, i.e for any $n,lambdainmathbb{F}_p^{\ast }$ and for all odd primes $p$, thus extending results of Goodson and Barman et al which hold in certain special cases.
