Let k be the rational function field over the field with q elements with characteristic p. Since the work of Carlitz we know in this situation the function ζ analog of the Riemann zeta function and the function Logφ analog of the usual logarithm. We will show two main results. Firstly, if ξ denotes the fundamental period of Carlitz module, we prove that ξ, ζ(1),…, ζ(p – 2) are algebraically independent over k. Secondly if α1,…, αn are rational elements (of degree less than q/(q − 1) to ensure convergence of the logarithm) such that Logφ α1,…, Logφ αn are linearly independent over k then they are algebraically independent over k. The point is to find suitable functions taking these values and for which Mahler's method can be used.
