In summary, the conversation discusses the topic of zero-th Gaussian periods of type (N,r), specifically in cases where N is a product of distinct primes and r = p^s is a power of a prime. The speaker is new to this subject and is seeking information on whether there are any known results for this specific scenario. They also provide a brief explanation of what a zero-th Gaussian period of type (N,r) is in this context.

Hi,

I'm new to this subject and wondering if anything is known specifically on the zero-th Gaussian periods of type (N,r), where N is a product of distinct primes and r = p^s is a power of a prime. I know there are some very general results out there, but I haven't seen this so far. Thanks!

In case you don't know what I mean: Let X be the canonical additive character on GF(r) and let N be a divisor of r-1. Then the zero-th Gaussian period of type (N,r) is the sum of the values X(z) where z runs over all the elements of the (unique) multiplicative subgroup of GF(r) with order (r-1)/N.

Cheers
