Title: On the algebraic independence of Carlitz $P$-adic logarithms 

SPEAKER: Vincent Bosser (Université de Caen) 

DATE & TIME:  Miércoles 30 de abril - 14:30 

VENUE: Aula 420, Departamento de Matemáticas, UAM. 

ABSTRACT: Let $k={mathbb F}_q(T)$. In 2008, Papanikolas proved that if Carlitz logarithms of elements of $bar{k}$ are linearly independent over $k$, then they are algebraically independent over $k$. 
If $Pin {mathbb F}_q[T]$ is an irreducible polynomial, a similar statement can be made for Carlitz $P$-adic logarithms, but it still remains a conjecture. In this talk, we will present some partial results towards this conjecture.
