| contents | We consider a special class of generalized Paley graphs over finite fields, namely the Cayley graphs with vertex set $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$ and connection set the nonzero $(q^\ell+1)$-th powers in $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$, as well as their complements. We explicitly compute the spectrum and the energy of these graphs. As a consequence, the graphs turn out to be (with trivial exceptions) simple, connected, non-bipartite, integral and strongly regular, of pseudo or negative Latin square type. By using the spectral information we compute several invariants of these graphs. We exhibit infinitely many pairs of equienergetic non-isospectral graphs. As applications, on the one hand we solve Waring's problem over $\mathbb{F}_q^m$ for the exponents $q^\ell+1$, for each $q$ and for infinitely many values of $\ell$ and $m$. We obtain that the Waring's number $g(q^\ell+1,q^m)=1$ or $2$, depending on $m$ and $\ell$, thus solving some open cases. On the other hand, we construct infinite towers of Ramanujan graphs in all characteristics. Finally, we give the Ihara zeta functions of these graphs. |
