Abstract

Identifying the algebra of exponential generating series with the shuffle algebra of formal power series, one can define an exponential map exp!:XK[[X]]1+XK[[X]]{\mathop{exp}}_!:X\mathbb K[[X]]\longrightarrow 1+X\mathbb K[[X]] for the associated Lie group formed by exponential generating series with constant coefficient 1 over an arbitrary field K\mathbb K. The main result of this paper states that the map exp!{\mathop{exp}}_! (and its inverse map log!{\mathop{log}}_!) induces a bijection between rational, respectively algebraic, series in XK[[X]]X\mathbb K [[X]] and 1+XK[[X]]1+X\mathbb K[[X]] if the field K\mathbb K is a subfield of the algebraically closed field Fˉp\bar{\mathbb F}_p of characteristic pp.
