چکیده
As analogue to special values at positive integers of the Riemann zeta function, we consider Carlitz zeta values ζC(n) at positive integers n. By constructing t-motives after Papanikolas, we prove that the only algebraic relations among these characteristic p zeta values are those coming from the Euler-Carlitz relations and the Frobenius p-th power relations.

Algebraic Independence of Carlitz Zeta Values with Varying Constant Fields
As an analogue to special values at positive integers of the Riemann zeta function, for each constant field Fpr with fixed characteristic p we consider Carlitz zeta values ζr(n) at positive integers n. The main theorem of this paper asserts that among the families of Carlitz zeta values ∪∞ r=1 {ζr(1), ζr(2), ζr(3), . . . }, all the algebraic relations are those algebraic relations among each in...

In analogy with the Riemann zeta function at positive integers, for each finite field Fpr with fixed characteristic p we consider Carlitz zeta values ζr(n) at positive integers n. Our theorem asserts that among the zeta values in ∪∞ r=1 {ζr(1), ζr(2), ζr(3), . . . }, all the algebraic relations are those relations within each individual family {ζr(1), ζr(2), ζr(3), . . . }. These are the algebr...
متن کاملGeometric Gamma Values and Zeta Values in Positive Characteristic
In analogy with values of the classical Euler Γ-function at rational numbers and the Riemann ζ-function at positive integers, we consider Thakur’s geometric Γ-function evaluated at rational arguments and Carlitz ζ-values at positive integers. We prove that, when considered together, all of the algebraic relations among these special values arise from the standard functional equations of the Γ-f...
متن کاملDetermination of the algebraic relations among special Γ-values in positive characteristic
We devise a new criterion for linear independence over function fields. Using this tool in the setting of dual t-motives, we find that all algebraic relations among special values of the geometric Γ-function over Fq[T ] are explained by the standard functional equations.
متن کاملFunctional relations and universality for several types of multiple zeta functions
Firstly, we prove a functional relation for the Tornheim double zeta function. Using this functional relation, we obtain simple proofs of some known formulas for special values of Tornheim and Euler-Zagier double zeta functions. Secondly, we obtain functional relations for Witten zeta functions by using a double L-values relation. By these functional relations, we obtain new proofs of known res...
