Abstract: Schanuel's Conjecture basically says that the complex
exponentiation transforms the linear independence into the algebraic
independence. I will discuss a version of Schanuel's Conjecture for
a field of Laurent power series in positive characteristic
(replacing the field of complex numbers) and a non-algebraic additive
power series (replacing the exponential map). I will also mention a
connection with the theory of algebraic independence related to
Drinfeld modules.


Greetings, Wilfried Meidl
