On special v-adic gamma values after Gross-Koblitz-Thakur (英語)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, we will introduce special v-adic arithmetic gamma values in positive characteristic, which play the function field analogue of the special values of Morita’s p-adic gamma function. In the function field case, Thakur established a formula à la Gross-Koblitz, and hence obtained algebraicity of certain special v-adic arithmetic gamma values. In a joint work with Fu-Tsun Wei and Jing Yu, we prove that all algebraic relations among these special v-adic gamma values are coming from the three types of functional equations that the v-adic arithmetic gamma function satisfies, and Thakur’s analogue of Gross-Koblitz’s formula.
