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...

Fixpoints, games and the difference hierarchy

Julian C. Bradfield (2003)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Drawing on an analogy with temporal fixpoint logic, we relate the arithmetic fixpoint definable sets to the winning positions of certain games, namely games whose winning conditions lie in the difference hierarchy over Σ 2 0 . This both provides a simple characterization of the fixpoint hierarchy, and refines existing results on the power of the game quantifier in descriptive set theory. We raise the problem of transfinite fixpoint hierarchies.

Fonction ζ de Carlitz et automates

Valérie Berthé (1993)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Carlitz a défini sur 𝔽 q une fonction ζ et une série formelle I I , analogues respectivement à la fonction ζ de Riemann et au réel π . Yu a montré, en utilisant les modules de Drinfeld, que ζ ( s ) / I I 3 est transcendant pour tout s non divisible par q - 1 . Nous donnons ici une preuve «automatique» de la transcendance de ζ ( s ) / I I 3 pour 1 s q - 2 , en utilisant le théorème de Christol, Kamae, Mendès France et Rauzy.
