Résumé
Abstract

Soient $ℓ$ et $f$ deux nombres premiers distincts. Soient $F_{q}$ un corps fini tel que $q \equiv 1 (mod ℓ f)$ , $χ_{ℓ}, χ_{f} : F_{q}^{\times} \to {\bar{Q}}^{\times}$ deux caractères multiplicatifs d’ordres respectifs $ℓ$ et $f$ et $J (χ_{ℓ}, χ_{f})$ la somme de Jacobi associée. Nous prouvons une nouvelle congruence pour $J (χ_{ℓ}, χ_{f}) .$ Plus précisément, nous montrons que $J (χ_{ℓ}, χ_{f}) \equiv - 1 (mod {(1 - ζ_{ℓ})}^{i})$ avec $i \leq ℓ$ si et seulement si certaines unités cyclotomiques de $F_{q}^{\times}$ sont des puissances $ℓ$ -ièmes.

Fix distinct primes $ℓ$ and $f$ , a finite field $F_{q}$ such that $q \equiv 1 (mod ℓ f)$ , multiplicative characters $χ_{ℓ}, χ_{f} : F_{q}^{\times} \to {\bar{Q}}^{\times}$ of orders $ℓ$ and $f$ , and let $J (χ_{ℓ}, χ_{f})$ be the associated Jacobi sum. We prove new a $ℓ$ -adic congruence for $J (χ_{ℓ}, χ_{f})$ . More specifically, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for $J (χ_{ℓ}, χ_{f}) \equiv - 1 (mod {(1 - ζ_{ℓ})}^{i})$ when $i \leq ℓ$ in terms of certain cyclotomic units of $F_{q}^{\times}$ being $ℓ$ th powers.
