| dc.description.abstract | We define gamma functions for function fields and interpolate them at all places, refining the construction due to Carlitz and Goss for the rational function field by including the degree part and generalising it. We prove reflection and multiplication formulae for them and relate the special values, for the infinite place, to the periods of appropriate Drinfeld modules. | en_US |
