Abstract

We investigate a remarkable class of exponential sums that are derived from the symmetric groups and that display a diverse array of visually appealing features. Our interest in these expressions stems not only from their astounding visual properties, but also from the fact that they represent a novel and intriguing class of supercharacters.
