Anderson-Stark units for Fq[θ]
Abstract
We investigate the arithmetic of special values of a new class of L-functions recently introduced by the second author. We prove that these special values are encoded in some particular polynomials which we call Anderson-Stark units. We then use these Anderson-Stark units to prove that L-functions can be expressed as sums of polylogarithms.
