Christol's theorem characterises algebraic power series over finite fields in terms of finite automata. In a recent article, Bridy develops a new proof of Christol's theorem by Speyer, to obtain a tight quantitative version, that is, to…

We prove a quantitative version of a result of Furstenberg and Deligne stating that the the diagonal of a multivariate algebraic power series with coefficients in a field of positive characteristic is algebraic. As a consequence, we obtain…

We revisit Christol's theorem on algebraic power series in positive characteristic and propose yet another proof for it. This new proof combines several ingredients and advantages of existing proofs, which make it very well-suited for…

A theorem of Christol states that a power series over a finite field is algebraic over the polynomial ring if and only if its coefficients can be generated by a finite automaton. Using Christol's result, we prove that the same assertion…

In 1984, Deligne proved that for any prime number $p$, the reduction modulo $p$ of the diagonal of a multivariate algebraic power series with integer coefficients is algebraic over the field of rational functions with coefficients in…

This is an exposition, for pedagogical purposes, of the formal power series proof of Bostan, Christol and Dumas [3] of the result stated in the title (a corollary of the Christol theorem).

A famous result of Christol gives that a power series $F(t)=\sum_{n\ge 0} f(n)t^n$ with coefficients in a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic $p$ is algebraic over the field of rational functions in $t$ if and only if there is a…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$ and let $f(t_1,...,t_d)$ be a power series in $d$ variables with coefficients in $K$ that is algebraic over the field of multivariate rational functions $K(t_1,...,t_d)$. We prove a generalization…

It is well known that any power series over a finite field represents a rational function if and only if its sequence of coefficients is ultimately periodic. The famous Christol's Theorem states that a power series over a finite field is…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We exhibit a counterexample against a theorem asserted in one of our earlier papers, which claims to characterize the integral closure of K((t)) within the field of…

Christol's theorem states that a power series with coefficients in a finite field is algebraic if and only if its coefficient sequence is automatic. A natural question is how the size of a polynomial describing such a sequence relates to…

Christol and, independently, Denef and Lipshitz showed that an algebraic sequence of $p$-adic integers (or integers) is $p$-automatic when reduced modulo $p^\alpha$. Previously, the best known bound on the minimal automaton size for such a…

We use recent results about linking the number of zeros on algebraic varieties over $\mathbb{C}$, defined by polynomials with integer coefficients, and on their reductions modulo sufficiently large primes to study congruences with products…

For all positive powers of primes $p\geq 5$, we prove the existence of infinitely many linear congruences between the exponents of twisted Borcherds products arising from a suitable scalar-valued weight $1/2$ weakly holomorphic modular form…

Using Dwork's theory, we prove a broad generalisation of his famous p-adic formal congruences theorem. This enables us to prove certain p-adic congruences for the generalized hypergeometric series with rational parameters; in particular,…

Motivated by the Hadamard product of matrices we define the Hadamard product of multivariate polynomials and study its arithmetic circuit and branching program complexity. We also give applications and connections to polynomial identity…

There are many viewpoints on algebraic power series, ranging from the abstract ring-theoretic notion of Henselization to the very explicit perspective as diagonals of certain rational functions. To be more explicit on the latter, Denef and…

As a direct application of Dilworth truncations of polymatroids, we give short proofs of two theorems: Bernstein's characterisation of algebraic matroids coming from the Hadamard product of two linear spaces, and a formula for the dimension…

We obtain a fully explicit quantitative version of the Eisenstein theorem on algebraic power series which is more suitable for certain applications than the existing version due to Dwork, Robba, Schmidt and van der Poorten. We also treat…

In connection with our previous work on semi-galois categories, this paper proves an arithmetic analogue of Christol's theorem concerning an automata-theoretic characterization of when a formal power series over finite field is algebraic…
