Abstract: David Goss developed a very general Fourier transform in additive harmonic analysis in the function field setting. In order to introduce the Fourier transform for continuous characteristic p valued functions on mathbbZp, Goss introduced and studied an analogue of flows in finite characteristic. In this paper, we use another approach to study flows in finite characteristic. We recast the notion of a flow in the language of the classical umbral calculus, which allows to generalize the formula for flows first proved by Goss to a more general setting. We study duality between flows using the classical umbral calculus, and show that the duality notion introduced by Goss seems a natural one. We also formulate a question of Goss about the exact relationship between two flows of a Drinfeld module in the language of the classical umbral calculus, and give a partial answer to it.
