We give an automata-theoretic description of the algebraic closure of the rational function field over a finite field , generalizing a result of Christol. The description occurs within the Hahn-Mal’cev-Neumann field of “generalized power series” over . In passing, we obtain a characterization of well-ordered sets of rational numbers whose base expansions are generated by a finite automaton, and exhibit some techniques for computing in the algebraic closure; these include an adaptation to positive...
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 . 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.

Carlitz a défini sur une fonction et une série formelle , analogues respectivement à la fonction de Riemann et au réel . Yu a montré, en utilisant les modules de Drinfeld, que est transcendant pour tout non divisible par . Nous donnons ici une preuve «automatique» de la transcendance de pour , en utilisant le théorème de Christol, Kamae, Mendès France et Rauzy.
