Estimates on character sums (11L40)

Abstract: We prove a stratification result for certain families of $n$-dimensional (complete algebraic) multiplicative character sums. The character sums we consider are sums of products of $r$ multiplicative characters evaluated at rational functions, and the families (with $nr$ parameters) are obtained by allowing each of the $r$ rational functions to be replaced by an "offset", i.e. a translate, of itself. For very general such families, we show that the stratum of the parameter space on which the character sum has maximum weight $n+j$ has codimension at least $jlfloor(r-1)/2(n-1)floor$ for $1lejlen-1$ and $lceilnr/2ceil$ for $j=n$.
