We find a simple formula for the Hasse polynomial of the slope one side and study the irreducibility of these Hasse polynomials. We will also provide a simple form of all the higher slope Hasse polynomials for $n=3$, answering an open question of Zhang and Feng.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-03-28T18:47:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11S40", "11T23", "11L07" ], "keywords": [ "exponential sums", "higher slope hasse polynomials", "l-functions", "open question", "simple formula" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
