Combinatorial proof of the transcendence of L(1,\chi_s)/\Pi

Abstract: We give a combinatorial proof of the transcendence of

L (1, c h i_{s}) / P i

, where

L (1, c h i_{s})

(resp.

P i

) is the analogue in characteristic

p

of the function

L

of Dirichlet (resp.

p i

). This result has been proven by G. Damamme using the criteria of de Mathan. Our proof is based on the Theorem of Christol and another property of

k

-automatic sequences.
