Abstract: Let $C$ be an algebraically closed field containing the finite field $F_q$ and complete with respect to an absolute value $|;|$. We prove that under suitable constraints on the coefficients, the series $$ converges to a surjective, open, continuous $F_q$-linear homomorphism $CightarrowC$ whose kernel is locally compact. We characterize the locally compact sub-$F_q$-vector spaces $G$ of $C$ which occur as kernels of such series, and describe the extent to which $G$ determines the series. We develop a theory of Newton polygons for these series which lets us compute the Haar measure of the set of zeros of $f$ of a given valuation, given the valuations of the coefficients. The ``adjoint series $$ converges everywhere if and only if $f$ does, and in this case there is a natural bilinear pairing ${\displaystyle }$ ker f imes ker f^ast ightarrow F_q ${\displaystyle }$ which exhibits $ker{f}^{a}st$ as the Pontryagin dual of $kerf$. Many of these results extend to non-linear fractional power series. We apply these results to construct a Drinfeld module analogue of the Weil pairing, and to describe the topological module structure of the kernel of the adjoint exponential of a Drinfeld module.
