Abstract

For a global function field $K$ of positive characteristic $p$, we show that Artin’s entireness conjecture for L-functions of geometric padic Galois representations of $K$ is true in a non-trivial $p$-adic disk but is false in the full $p$-adic plane. In particular, we prove the non-rationality of the geometric unit root L-functions.
