Summation identities and special values of hypergeometric series in the $p$-adic setting

Number Theory 2014-08-22 v1

Abstract

We prove hypergeometric type summation identities for a function defined in terms of quotients of the pp-adic gamma function by counting points on certain families of hyperelliptic curves over Fq\mathbb{F}_{q}. We also find certain special values of that function.
