If P is an irreducible element of a polynomial ring over a finite field, then one can define a Fermat quotient function associated to P. This is the direct analog of the traditional Fermat quotient function defined over the rational numbers using Fermat's ''little'' theorem. This paper provides answ

We compute explicitly the Selberg trace formula for principal congruence subgroups of PGL(2, F q [t]) which is the modular group in positive characteristic cases. We also express the Selberg zeta function as a determinant of the Laplacian which is composed of both discrete and continuous spectra. Al
We define analogues of higher derivatives for F q -linear functions over the field of formal Laurent series with coefficients in F q . This results in a formula for Taylor coefficients of a F q -linear holomorphic function, a definition of classes of F q -linear smooth functions which are characteri
We study the level of nonformally real function fields of surfaces over number fields and show that it is at most 4 for a large class of surfaces. ๏ฃฉ 2002 Elsevier Science (USA) The level of a field F is the least integer n such that -1 is expressible as a sum of n squares in F. If -1 is not a sum o
