Let χ be a non-trivial character of F×q, and let g(χ) be its associated Gauss sum. It is well known that g(χ) = ε(χ) √q, where |ε(χ)| = 1. Using the p-adic gamma function, we give a new proof of a result of Evans which gives necessary and sufficient conditions for ε(χ) to be a root of unity. (c) 2010 American Mathematical Society
