Abstract: We use hypergeometric sheaves on $G_m/F_q$, which are particular sorts of rigid local systems, to construct explicit local systems whose arithmetic and geometric monodromy groups are the finite general linear groups $G{L}_n(q)$ for any $nge2$ and and any prime power $q$, so long as $q>3$ when $n=2$. This paper continues a program of finding simple (in the sense of simple to remember) families of exponential sums whose monodromy groups are certain finite groups of Lie type, cf. [Gr], [KT1], [KT2], [KT3] for (certain) finite symplectic and unitary groups, or certain sporadic groups, cf. [KRL], [KRLT1], [KRLT2], [KRLT3]. The novelty of this paper is obtaining $G{L}_n(q)$ in this hypergeometric way. A pullback construction then yields local systems on $A^1/F_q$ whose geometric monodromy groups are $S{L}_n(q)$. These turn out to recover a construction of Abhyankar.

Review text

The paper continues a program of finding simple to remember families of exponential sums whose monodromy groups are certain finite groups of Lie type (developed in previous papers of Katz, Tiep, Gros, Rojas-León and others). The authors use hypergeometric sheaves on \(\mathbb{G}_m/\mathbb{F}_q\), which are particular sorts of rigid local systems, to construct explicit local systems whose arithmetic and geometric monodromy groups are the finite general linear groups \(\mathrm{GL}_n(q)\) for any \(n\geq 2\) and any prime power \(q\), so long as \(q>3\) when \(n=2\). The novelty of this article is obtaining \(\mathrm{GL}_n(q)\) in this hypergeometric way. A pullback construction then yields local systems on \(\mathbb{A}^1/\mathbb{F}_q\) whose geometric monodromy groups are \(\mathrm{SL}_n(q)\) which recover a construction of \textit{S. S. Abhyankar} [Isr. J. Math. 88, No. 1--3, 1--23 (1994; Zbl 0828.14014)].
