Algebraicity modulo p of generalized hypergeometric series $_nF_{n-1}$
Abstract
Let be the hypergeometric series with parameters and in , let be the least common multiple of the denominators of , written in lowest form and let be a prime number such that does not divide and . Recently in \cite{vmsff}, it was shown that if for all , then the reduction of modulo is algebraic over . A standard way to measure the complexity of an algebraic power series is to estimate its degree and its height. In this work, we prove that if then there is a nonzero polynomial having degree at most and height at most such that , where is the Euler's totient function. Furthermore, our method of proof provides us a way to make an explicit construction of the polynomial . We illustrate this construction by applying it to some explicit hypergeometric series.
