Abstract: We describe a group that plays a role in the horizontal equidistribution of Gauss sums, Kloosterman sums, Salie sums, etc. similar to the role that the Sato-Tate group plays in the distribution of traces of Frobenius in Galois representations. Using this we make a general equidistribution conjecture for exponential sums. The conjecture agrees with known results in some cases and numerical evidence in other cases.
