Abstract

Recently Bombieri and Sperber have jointly created a new construction for estimating exponential sums on quasiprojective varieties over finite fields. In this paper we apply their construction to estimate hybrid exponential sums on quasiprojective varieties over finite fields. In doing this we utilize a result of Aldolphson and Sperber concerning the degree of the L-function associated with a certain exponential sum.
