Abstract We study certain one-parameter families of exponential sums of Airy–Laurent type. Their general theory was developed in Katz and Tiep (Airy sheaves of Laurent type: an introduction,https://web.math.princeton.edu/~nmk/kt31_11sept.pdf). In the present paper, we make use of that general theory to compute monodromy groups in some particularly simple families (in the sense of “simple to remember), realizing Weyl groups of type$$E_6$$ and$$E_8$$ .more » « lessFree, publicly-accessible full text available December 1, 2025

null (Ed.)We first develop some basic facts about hypergeometric sheaves on the multiplicative group [Formula: see text] in characteristic [Formula: see text]. Certain of their Kummer pullbacks extend to irreducible local systems on the affine line in characteristic [Formula: see text]. One of these, of rank [Formula: see text] in characteristic [Formula: see text], turns out to have the Conway group [Formula: see text], in its irreducible orthogonal representation of degree [Formula: see text], as its arithmetic and geometric monodromy groups.more » « less
