Hyperderivatives of Periods and Quasi-Periods for Anderson 𝑡-Modules

We investigate periods, quasi-periods, logarithms, and quasi-logarithms of Anderson <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="t"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>t</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">t</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula>-modules, as well as their hyperderivatives. We develop a comprehensive account of how these values can be obtained through rigid analytic trivializations of abelian and <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="bold upper A"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mi mathvariant="bold">A</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">\mathbf {A}</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula>-finite <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="t"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>t</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">t</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula>-modules. To do this we build on the exponentiation theorem of Anderson and investigate quasi-periodic extensions of <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="t"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>t</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">t</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula>-modules through Anderson generating functions. By applying these results to prolongation <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="t"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mi>t</mml:mi> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">t</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula>-modules of Maurischat, we integrate hyperderivatives of these values together with previous work of Brownawell and Denis in this framework.
