Abstract

The aim of this note is to gather formal similarities between two apparently different functions; Euler function Γ and Anderson-Thakur function ω. We discuss these similarities in the framework of the generalized Carlitz module, a common structure which can be helpful in framing the theories of both functions. We further analyze several noticeable differences while investigating the exponential functions associated to these structures.
