โฆ Synopsis
Let p be a prime integer and m be an integer, not divisible by p. Let K be the splitting field of XK!1 over the prime field % N . Solving the Gauss sums problem of order m in characteristic p means determining Gauss sums of all multiplicative characters of K of order dividing m. Our aim is to solve this problem when the subgroup 1p2 is of index 2 in (9/m9)*.

The main purpose of this paper is using estimates for character sums and analytic methods to study the second, fourth, and sixth order moments of generalized quadratic Gauss sums weighted by L-functions. Three asymptotic formulae are obtained.
For a prime number p and a number field k, let k รk be the cyclotomic Z p -extension. Let A be the projective limit of the p-part of the ideal class group of each intermediate field of k รk. When k is totally real, it is conjectured that A is finite, namely that the characteristic polynomial char(A
