Evaluation of some exponential sums over i l finite field By L. CAF~LITZ of Durham (U.S.A.) (Eingegangen am 10.7.1978) 1. Introduction. Let Fq = QF(q) denote the finite field of order q = p", p prime, n 2 1. For a E Fq put t(a) = a + up + + up"-' and e(a) = p i W / p , so that t(aP) = t(a), e(aP) =
