Review text

Let \(p\) be the prime and \(q^\theta\) with \(\theta\geq 1\) an integer. Let \(\mathbb F_q\) be the finite field with \(q\) elements. Assume that \(i\in\frac 1\theta\mathbb Z\). Set \(D_i=\prod _{k=0}^{[i]-1} (T^{q^{j-k}}-T)^{q^k}\) and \(L_i=\prod _{k=0}^{[i]-1} (T^{q^{j-k}}-T)\) . For an integer \(a\) set \((a)_n=D_{n+a-1}^{q^{-(a-1)}}\) if \(a\geq 1\), \((a)_n=(-1)^{[-a]-n}L_{-n-a}^{-q^{-n}}\) if \(n\leq -a\) and \(a\leq 0\) and \((a)_n=0\) if \(n>-a\geq 0\). Let \((u(n))_{n\geq 0}\) be a sequence in \(\mathbb F_q\) which is not ultimately zero. Let \(r,s\geq 0\) be integers such that \(r<s+1\), and let \(0<a_1\leq a_2,\dots, a_r\), and \(0<b_1\leq b_2,\dots, b_s\) be such that \(q(s+1-r)>c\). Then the authors prove that \(\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{\prod_{j=1}^r(a_j)_n}{D_n\prod_{j=1}^s(b_j)_n}z^{q^n}\) is weakly transcendental over \(\mathbb F(T)\) for all algebraic \(z\in\mathbb C_\infty\setminus \{ 0\}\). Here \(c\) is a special constant.
