L-functions of symmetric powers of the generalized Airy family of exponential sums

This paper looks at the L-function of the kth symmetric power of the -sheaf Aif over the affine line associated to the generalized Airy family of exponential sums. Using ℓ-adic techniques, we compute the degree of this rational function as well as the local factors at infinity. Using p-adic techniqu...

Description
Summary:This paper looks at the L-function of the kth symmetric power of the -sheaf Aif over the affine line associated to the generalized Airy family of exponential sums. Using ℓ-adic techniques, we compute the degree of this rational function as well as the local factors at infinity. Using p-adic techniques, we study the q-adic Newton polygon of the L-function.
