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…

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…

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…

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…

We extend the functorial approach to automata by Colcombet and Petri\c{s}an [arXiv:1712.07121] from the category of sets to any elementary topos with a natural number object and establish general Myhill-Nerode theorems in our setting. As a…

We generalize some of the central results in automata theory to the abstraction level of coalgebras and thus lay out the foundations of a universal theory of automata operating on infinite objects. Let F be any set functor that preserves…

In this paper we study the field of Hahn-Witt series $HW(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p)$ with residue field $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$ (also known as a $p$-adic Malcev-Neumann field \cite{La86, P93}), and its generalizations. Informally, the…

In this work we extend our study on a link between automaticity and certain algebraic power series over finite fields. Our starting point is a family of sequences in a finite field of characteristic $2$, recently introduced by the first…

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 that if $y=\sum_{n=0}^\infty{\bf a}(n)x^n\in\mathbb{F}_q[[x]]$ is an algebraic power series of degree $d$, height $h$, and genus $g$, then the sequence ${\bf a}$ is generated by an automaton with at most $q^{h+d+g-1}$ states, up to…

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…

We use the Aubry-Perret bound for singular curves, a generalization of the Hasse-Weil bound, to prove the following curious result about rational functions over finite fields: Let $f(X),g(X)\in\Bbb F_q(X)\setminus\{0\}$ be such that $q$ is…

We determine all functional closure properties of finite $\mathbb{N}$-weighted automata, even all multivariate ones, and in particular all multivariate polynomials. We also determine all univariate closure properties in the promise setting,…

We investigate some general properties of algebraic cellular automata, i.e., cellular automata over groups whose alphabets are affine algebraic sets and which are locally defined by regular maps. When the ground field is assumed to be…

Hereditarily finite (HF) set theory provides a standard universe of sets, but with no infinite sets. Its utility is demonstrated through a formalisation of the theory of regular languages and finite automata, including the Myhill-Nerode…

The usual Laurent expansion of the analytic tensors on the complex plane is generalized to any closed and orientable Riemann surface represented as an affine algebraic curve. As an application, the operator formalism for the $b-c$ systems…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian $p$-group. We count \'etale $G$-extensions of global rational function fields $\mathbb F_q(T)$ of characteristic $p$ by the degree of what we call their Artin-Schreier conductor. The corresponding (ordinary)…

In this paper we give a general upper bound for the irrationality exponent of algebraic Laurent series with coefficients in a finite field. Our proof is based on a method introduced in a different framework by Adamczewski and Cassaigne. It…

In the paper we develop the $p$-adic theory of discrete automata. Every automaton $\mathfrak A$ (transducer) whose input/output alphabets consist of $p$ symbols can be associated to a continuous (in fact, 1-Lipschitz) map from $p$-adic…

Let us consider a generalized Artin-Schreier algebraic function field extension $F$ of the rational function field $\F_{p^n}(x)$ defined over the finite field extension $K=\F_{p^n}$ of the prime field $\F_p$. We assume that $K$ is…
