Abstract: We investigate algebraic Γ-monomials of Thakur's positive characteristic r-function, by using Anderson and Das' double complex method of computing the sign cohomology of the universal ordinary distribution. We prove that the Γ-monomial associated to an element of the second sign cohomology of the universal ordinary distribution of F q (T) generates a Kummer extension of some Carlitz cyclotomic function field, which is also a Galois extension of the base field F q (T). These results are characteristic-p analogues of those of Deligne on classical r-monomials, proofs of which were given by Das using the double complex method. In this paper, we also obtain some results on e-monomials of Carlitz's exponential function.
