The hyperKloosterman sum and its associated L-function can be studied through the kth symmetric power L-function for any positive integer k. As this family of L-functions is p-adic continuous in k, we can take limits, producing the infinite symmetric power L-function. This talk will discuss the development of a Dwork type cohomology theory to study this L-function.
