In this article we show that the coordinates of a period lattice generator of the $n$-th tensor power of the Carlitz module are algebraically independent, if $n$ is prime to the characteristic. The main part of the paper, however, is…

Let $k$ be the rational function field over the finite field of $q$ elements and $\bar{k}$ its fixed algebraic closure. In this paper, we study algebraic relations over $\bar{k}$ among the fundamental period $\widetilde{\pi}$ of the Carlitz…

We determine all algebraic relations among all hyperderivatives of the periods, quasi-periods, logarithms, and quasi-logarithms of Drinfeld modules defined over a separable closure of the rational function field. In particular, for periods…

In 2007, Papanikolas established that if Carlitz logarithms of algebraic functions are linearly independent over the rational function field, then they are algebraically independent. The purpose of the present paper is to provide a new…

For any rank 2 Drinfeld module rho defined over an algebraic function field, we consider its period matrix P, which is analogous to the period matrix of an elliptic curve defined over a number field. Suppose that the characteristic of F_q…

For a lattice \Lambda in the complex plane, let K_{\Lambda} be the field of \Lambda-elliptic functions. For two relatively prime integers p (respectively q) greater than 1, consider the endomorphisms \psi (resp. \phi) of K_{\Lambda} given…

In analogy with the periods of abelian integrals of differentials of third kind for an elliptic curve defined over a number field, we introduce a notion of periods of third kind for a rank 2 Drinfeld Fq[t]-module rho defined over an…

We consider the values at proper fractions of the arithmetic gamma function and the values at positive integers of the zeta function for F_q[theta] and provide complete algebraic independence results for them.

Colmez conjectured a product formula for periods of abelian varieties over number fields with complex multiplication and proved it in some cases. His conjecture is equivalent to a formula for the Faltings height of CM abelian varieties in…

In the present paper, we study linear equations on tensor powers of the Carlitz module using the theory of Anderson dual $t$-motives and a detailed analysis of a specific Frobenius difference equation. As an application, we derive some…

In the number theory in positive characteristic, there are analogues of some special values introduced by Carlitz, Carlitz gamma values and Carlitz zeta values for instance. Each of them is further developed to arithmetic gamma values and…

We prove an Ax-Lindemann-Weierstrass differential transcendence result for Euler's gamma function, namely that the functions $\Gamma(\nu-\zeta_1(\nu)),\dots,\Gamma(\nu-\zeta_n(\nu))$ are differentially independent over the field of rational…

We investigate interconnected aspects of hyperderivatives of polynomials over finite fields, q-th powers of polynomials, and specializations of Vandermonde matrices. We construct formulas for Carlitz multiplication coefficients using…

In this article we show that all periods of uniformizable $t$-modules (resp. their coordinates) can be obtained via specializing a rigid analytic trivialization of a related dual $t$-motive at $t=\theta$. The proof is even constructive. The…

We develop a theory of Tannakian Galois groups for t-motives and relate this to the theory of Frobenius semilinear difference equations. We show that the transcendence degree of the period matrix associated to a given t-motive is equal to…

We investigate periods, quasi-periods, logarithms, and quasi-logarithms of Anderson $t$-modules, as well as their hyperderivatives. We develop a comprehensive account of how these values can be obtained through rigid analytic…
