We study the moments of the Dirichlet L-function when defined over the polynomial ring over finite fields. We obtain an asymptotic formula of the fourth moment for the central value of these Dirichlet L-functions. In addition, we find a lower bound for the 2k th moment of these L-functions. These results agree up to constants with the polynomial ring analog of the Keating and Snaith Conjecture for the asymptotic of leading terms.

Let k be the rational function field over the field with q elements with characteristic p. Since the work of Carlitz we know in this situation the function ζ analog of the Riemann zeta function and the function Logφ analog of the usual logarithm. We will show two main results. Firstly, if ξ denotes the fundamental period of Carlitz module, we prove that ξ, ζ(1),…, ζ(p – 2) are algebraically independent over k. Secondly if α1,…, αn are rational elements (of degree less than q/(q − 1) to ensure convergence of the logarithm) such that Logφ α1,…, Logφ αn are linearly independent over k then they are algebraically independent over k. The point is to find suitable functions taking these values and for which Mahler's method can be used.

AbstractGiven a finite field 𝔽p={0,…,p−1} of p elements, where p is a prime, we consider the distribution of elements in the orbits of a transformation ξ↦ψ(ξ) associated with a rational function ψ∈𝔽p(X). We use bounds of exponential sums to show that if N≥p1/2+ε for some fixed ε then no N distinct consecutive elements of such an orbit are contained in any short interval, improving the trivial lower bound N on the length of such intervals. In the case of linear fractional functions we use a different approach, based on some results of additive combinatorics due to Bourgain, that gives a nontrivial lower bound for essentially any admissible value of N.

Let Fq be the finite field of order q, an odd number, Q a non-degenerate quadratic form on , O(n, Q) the orthogonal group defined by Q. Regard O(n, Q) as a linear group of Fq -automorphisms acting linearly on the rational function field Fq(x1, …, xn). We shall prove that the invariant subfield Fq(x1,…, xn)O(n, Q) is a purely transcendental extension over Fq for n = 5 by giving a set of generators for it.

AbstractGiven any field K, there is a function field F/K in one variable containing definable transcendental over K, i.e., elements in F / K first-order definable in the language of fields with parameters from K. Hence, the model-theoretic and the field-theoretic relative algebraic closure of K in F do not coincide. E.g., if K is finite, the model-theoretic algebraic closure of K in the rational function field K(t) is K(t).For the proof, diophantine ∅-definability ofK in F is established for any function field F/K in one variable, provided K is large, or K× /(K×)n is finite for some integer n > 1 coprime to char K.
