Abstract: We prove a number of conjectures due to Dinesh Thakur concerning sums of the form $su{m}_{P}h(P)$ where the sum is over monic irreducible polynomials $P$ in $mathbb{F}_q[T]$, the function $h$ is a rational function and the sum is considered in the $T^{-1}$-adic topology. As an example of our results, in $mathbb{F}_2[T]$, the sum $su{m}_{P}frac1P^k-1$ always converges to a rational function, and is $0$ for $k=1$.
