The classicaln-variable Kloosterman sums over finite fields are well understood by Deligne’s theorem from complex point of view and by Sperber’s theorem fromp-adic point of view. In this paper, we study the complex andp-adic estimates ofinvertedn-variable Kloosterman sums, addressing a question of Katz (Finite Fields Appl 1(3):395–398, 1995). We shall give two complex estimates. The first one is elementary based on Gauss sums. The second estimate is deeper, depending on the cohomological results of Adolphson–Sperber, Denef–Loeser and Fu for twisted toric exponential sums. This deeper result assumes that the characteristicpdoes not divideCombining with Dwork’sp-adic theory, we also determine the exactp-adic valuations for zeros and poles of the L-function associated toinvertedn-variable Kloosterman sums in the caseAs we shall see, theinvertedn-variable Kloosterman sum is more complicated than the classicaln-variable Kloosterman sum in all aspects in the sense that our understanding is less complete, partly because the Hodge numbers are now mostly 2 instead of 1.
