A duality result about special functions in arbitrary rank

Abstract: In a previous paper, the author showed in the context of Drinfeld-Hayes modules that the product between a special function and a Pellarin zeta function is rational, and that the latter can be interpreted as a dual special function. Both results are generalized in this paper. We use a very simple functorial point of view to interpret special functions and dual special functions in Drinfeld modules of arbitrary rank, allowing us to define a universal special function

o m e g a_{p} h i

and a universal dual special function

z e t a_{p} h i

. In analogy to the Drinfeld-Hayes case, we prove that the latter can be expressed as an Eisenstein-like series over the period lattice, and that the scalar product

o m e g a_{p} h i c d o t z e t a_{p} h i

, an element of

m a t h b b C_{i} n f t y h a t o t i m e s O m e g a

, is rational. We also describe the module of special functions in the generality of Anderson modules, as already done by Gazda and Maurischat, and answer a question posed in that same paper about the invertibility of special functions in the context of Drinfeld-Hayes modules.
