Abstract

We give a new approach to the cohomology of the Dwork family, and more generally of single-monomial deformations of Fermat hypersurfaces. This approach is based on the surprising connection between these families and Kloosterman sums, and makes use of the Fourier Transform and the theory of Kloosterman sheaves and of hypergeometric sheaves.
