Linear Independence of Gamma Values in Positive Characteristic

چکیده
We investigate the arithmetic nature of special values of Thakur’s function field Gamma function at rational points. Our main result is that all linear dependence relations over the field of algebraic functions are consequences of the Anderson-Deligne-Thakur bracket relations.

Algebraic Independence of Arithmetic Gamma Values and Carlitz Zeta Values
We consider the values at proper fractions of the arithmetic gamma function and the values at positive integers of the zeta function for Fq [θ] and provide complete algebraic independence results for them.

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 کاملALGEBRAIC INDEPENDENCE OF CERTAIN FORMAL POWER SERIES (I)
We give a proof of the generalisation of Mendes-France and Van der Poorten's recent result over an arbitrary field of positive characteristic and then by extending a result of Carlitz, we shall introduce a class of algebraically independent series.
متن کاملFrobenius Difference Equations and Algebraic Independence of Zeta Values in Positive Equal Characteristic
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...
