A1 - Coulomb branches over finite fields and Selberg Character sums
Abstract
Motivated by mirror symmetry, we study exponential sums over the š½q-points of the A1 Coulomb branch. We show that their fiberwise structure is governed by polynomial Gauss sums, providing a geometric realization of Selberg character sums studied by Evans. Using Evans's evaluation, we obtain explicit formulas for the Coulomb-branch exponential sums as products of classical Gauss sums.
