Finite automata and algebraic extensions of function fields

Kiran S. Kedlaya (2006)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We give an automata-theoretic description of the algebraic closure of the rational function field 𝔽 q ( t ) over a finite field 𝔽 q , generalizing a result of Christol. The description occurs within the Hahn-Mal’cev-Neumann field of “generalized power series” over 𝔽 q . In passing, we obtain a characterization of well-ordered sets of rational numbers whose base p expansions are generated by a finite automaton, and exhibit some techniques for computing in the algebraic closure; these include an adaptation to positive...

Fréchet algebras, formal power series, and automatic continuity

S. R. Patel (2008)

Studia Mathematica

We describe all those commutative Fréchet algebras which may be continuously embedded in the algebra ℂ[[X]] in such a way that they contain the polynomials. It is shown that these algebras (except ℂ[[X]] itself) always satisfy a certain equicontinuity condition due to Loy. Using this result, some applications to the theory of automatic continuity are given; in particular, the uniqueness of the Fréchet algebra topology for such algebras is established.

Further remarks on formal power series

Marcin Borkowski, Piotr Maćkowiak (2012)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this paper, we present a considerable simplification of the proof of a theorem by Gan and Knox, stating a sufficient and necessary condition for existence of a composition of two formal power series. Then, we consider the behavior of such series and their (formal) derivatives at the boundary of the convergence circle, obtaining in particular a theorem of Bugajewski and Gan concerning the structure of the set of points where a formal power series is convergent with all its derivatives.
