Exponential sums nondegenerate relative to a lattice

Abstract

Our previous theorems on exponential sums often did not apply or did not give sharp results when certain powers of a variable appearing in the polynomial were divisible by $p$ . We remedy that defect in this paper by systematically applying $p$ -power reduction, making it possible to strengthen and extend our earlier results.
