摘要:
We prove that many values at proper fractions of the gamma function for F-q[T] (introduced by Carlitz and Goss) are transcendental over F-q (T). In particular, (n - 1/b)! is transcendental for any integer n and a positive integer b > 1, prime to q. Our proof is based on the transcendence criterion of Christol.
