We show that for any mod $p^m$ characters, $\chi_1, \dots, \chi_k,$ with at least one $\chi_i$ primitive mod $p^m$, the Jacobi sum, $$ \mathop{\sum_{x_1=1}^{p^m}\dots \sum_{x_k=1}^{p^m}}_{x_1+\dots+x_k\equiv B \text{ mod } p^m}\chi_1(x_1)\cdots \chi_k(x_k), $$ has a simple evaluation when $m$ is sufficiently large (for $m\geq 2$ if $p\nmid B$). As part of the proof we give a simple evaluation of the mod $p^m$ Gauss sums when $m\geq 2$ that differs slightly from existing evaluations when $p=2$.

Let YK → XK be a ramified cyclic covering of curves, where K is a cyclotomic field. In this work we study the p-rank of the reduction mod p of a model of the Jacobian of YK. In this way, we obtain counterparts of the Deuring polynomial, defined for elliptic curves, for genus greater than one. We provide a new point of view of this subject in terms of L-functions. To carry out this study we use the relationship between Jacobi sums and L-functions. This is established in [A. Weil, Jacobi sums as "Grössencharaktere", Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 73 (1952) 487–495] for the case of Fermat curves. We also give a new proof of a result of Deligne concerning the constant terms of these L-functions and Jacobi sums.

Let p be a prime ≡ 1 (mod 7). In this paper, we obtain an explicit expression for a primitive seventh root of unity ( mod p) in terms of coefficients of a Jacobi sum of order 7 and also in terms of a solution of a Diophantine system of Leonard and Williams, and then obtain Euler's criterion for septic nonresidues D ( mod p) in terms of this seventh root. Explicit results are given for septic nonresidues for D = 2, 3, 5, 7.

Abstract Let \mathbf{F}_{q} be a finite field of q elements. For multiplicative characters \chi_{1},\ldots,\chi_{m} of \mathbf{F}_{q}^{\times} , we let J(\chi_{1},\ldots,\chi_{m}) denote the Jacobi sum. Nicholas Katz and Zhiyong Zheng showed that for m=2 , the normalized Jacobi sum q^{-1/2}J(\chi_{1},\chi_{2}) ( \chi_{1}\chi_{2} nontrivial) is asymptotically equidistributed on the unit circle as q\to\infty , when \chi_{1} and \chi_{2} run through all nontrivial multiplicative characters of \mathbf{F}_{q}^{\times} . In this paper, we show a similar property for m\geq 2 . More generally, we show that the normalized Jacobi sum q^{-(m-1)/2}J(\chi_{1},\ldots,\chi_{m}) ( \chi_{1}\cdots\chi_{m} nontrivial) is asymptotically equidistributed on the unit circle, when \chi_{1},\ldots,\chi_{m} run through arbitrary sets of nontrivial multiplicative characters of \mathbf{F}_{q}^{\times} with two of the sets being sufficiently large. The case m=2 answers a question of Shparlinski.

In this article, we are using the elementary methods and the properties of the classical Gauss sums to study the calculating problem of a certain quadratic character sums of a ternary symmetry polynomials modulo p and obtain some interesting identities for them.

The main purpose of this paper is to study the computational problem of one kind rational polynomials of the classical Gauss sums, and using the purely algebraic methods and the properties of the character sums mod p ( a prime with p ≡ 1 mod 12 ) to give an exact evaluation formula for it.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to prove (1) if q ≡ 1 (mod 8) is a prime power and there exists a Hadamard matrix of order (q − 1)/2, then we can construct a Hadamard matrix of order 4q, (2) if q ≡ 5 (mod 8) is a prime power and there exists a skew-Hadamard matrix of order (q + 3)/2, then we can construct a Hadamard matrix of order 4(q + 2), (3) if q ≡ 1 (mod 8) is a prime power and there exists a symmetric C-matrix of order (q + 3)/2, then we can construct a Hadamard matrix of order 4(q + 2).We have 36, 36 and 8 new orders 4n for n ≤ 10000, of Hadamard matrices from the first, the second and third theorem respectively, which were known to the list of Geramita and Seberry. We prove these theorems by using an adaptation of generalized quaternion type array and relative Gauss sums.
