We show some applications of the formulas-as-polynomials correspondence: 1) a method for (dis)proving formula isomorphism and equivalence based on showing (in)equality; 2) a constructive analogue of the arithmetical hierarchy, based on the…

We introduce a generalization $\pounds_{d}^{(\alpha)}(X)$ of the finite polylogarithms $\pounds_{d}^{(0)}(X)=\pounds_d(X)=\sum_{k=1}^{p-1}X^k/k^d$, in characteristic $p$, which depends on a parameter $\alpha$. The special case…
