We give a proof, following an argument of Lenstra, of the conjecture of Carlitz (1966) as generalized by Wan (1993). This says that there are no exceptional polynomials of degree \(n\) over \(\mathbb{F}_{q}\) if \((n, q-1)>1\). Fried, Guralnick, and Saxl previously proved Carlitz's conjecture: there

✦ Synopsis
Let d ! 2 and p a prime coprime to d. For f ðxÞ 2 ðZ p \ QÞ½x, let NP 1 ðf mod pÞ denote the first slope of the Newton polygon of the L-function of the exponential sums X x2F p ' z Tr F p ' =Fp ðf ðxÞÞ p :
We prove that there is a Zariski dense open subset U in the space A d of degree-d monic polynomials over Q such that for all f ðxÞ 2 U we have lim p!1 NP 1 ðf mod pÞ ¼ 1 d . This is a ''first slope case'' of a conjecture of Wan.

## Abstract Berge's elegant dipath partition conjecture from 1982 states that in a dipath partition __P__ of the vertex set of a digraph minimizing , there exists a collection __C__^__k__^ of __k__ disjoint independent sets, where each dipath __P__∈__P__ meets exactly min{|__P__|, __k__} of the ind
This paper deals with certain aspects of a conjecture made by B. Kostant in 1983 Ž . relating the Coxeter number to the occurrence of the simple finite groups L 2, q in simple complex Lie groups. In particular, we examine how the conjecture gives rise to certain presentations of the Lie algebra as a
