IntroductionLet f be a polynomial over Z in n variables. Consider the "global" exponential sumwhere N varies over the positive integers. In order to bound |S f (N)| in terms of N, it is enough to boundin terms of m > 0 and prime numbers p. When f is nondegenerate in several senses related to its Newton polyhedron, specific bounds which depend uniformly on m and p have been conjectured by Igusa and by Denef -Sperber. We prove these bounds, thus solving a conjecture by Denef and Sperber from a 1990 manuscript [7] (published in 2001 [8]), and the nondegenerate case of Igusa's conjecture for exponential sums from the introduction of his book [10].One of the main points of this article is that, while for finite field exponential sums like S f (p) one knows that the weights and Betti numbers have some uniform behaviour for big p, for p-adic exponential sums S f (p m ) one does not yet completely
