On a Fiber Conjecture of Wan
Matthew Schmidt
For a prime and -power , let with coprime to . As varies in , Wan has conjectured that t…
A determinant of the Artin-Hasse exponential coefficients
Matthew Schmidt
We present a new determinant identity involving the coefficients of the Artin-Hasse exponential. In particular, if $E(x) = \exp(\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{x^{p^k}}{p^k}) = \sum_{n=0}^…
Exponential Sums of Witt Towers over Affinoids
Matthew Schmidt
In this paper we construct a Dwork theory for general exponential sums over affinoids in Witt towers. Using this, we compute the degree of the -function, its Hodge polygon and e…
-adic Exponential Sums over Affinoids
Matthew Schmidt
We introduce and develop -adic Dwork theory for -functions of exponential sums associated to one-variable rational functions, interpolating -order exponential sums o…
Schmid's Formula for Higher Local Fields
Matthew Schmidt
In local class field theory, the Schmid-Witt symbol encodes interesting data about the ramification theory of -extensi-ons of and can, for example, be used to compute the hi…
