Zeta and (L)-functions in characteristic (p) (11M38) Arithmetic theory of algebraic function fields (11R58)

Abstract: We present new methods for the study of a class of generating functions introduced by the second author which carry some formal similarities with the Hurwitz zeta function. We prove functional identities which establish an explicit connection with certain deformations of the Carlitz logarithm introduced by M. Papanikolas and involve the Anderson-Thakur function and the Carlitz exponential function. They collect certain functional identities in families for a new class of L-functions introduced by the first author. This paper also deals with specializations at roots of unity of these generating functions, producing a link with Gauss-Thakur sums.

Review text

The second author studied in [Math. Z. 278, No. 1--2, 279--299 (2014; Zbl 1306.11070)] a class of generating functions. In this article the authors present new methods for the study of these generating functions which carry some formal similarities with the Hurwitz zeta function. \textit{M. Papanikolas} introduced in [Invent. Math. 171, No. 1, 123--174 (2008; Zbl 1235.11074)] certain deformations of the Carlitz logarithm. Here the authors prove functional identities (Theorem 2) that establish an explicit connection with the deformations studied by Papanikolas. They find a zeta realization of Papanikola's functions (Theorem 1). The functional identities collect functional identities for some families of the \(L\)-functions introduced by the first author in [Ann. Math. (2) 176, No. 3, 2055--2093 (2012; Zbl 1336.11064)]. The paper also deals with specializations at roots of unity of the generating functions studied here (Theorems 4 and 5). The proofs of the main results are given in Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 5.1.
