Abstract

We study the Gowers uniformity norms of functions over Z/pZ which are trace functions of ℓ-adic sheaves. On the one hand, we establish a strong inverse theorem for these functions, and on the other hand this gives many explicit examples of functions with Gowers norms of size comparable to that of “random” functions.
