A few years ago, Ihara, [I], discovered a new sort of power series connected with the action of Ga on the Tate-modules of Fermat curves of /-power degree. Since then Anderson, [A], refined and generalized these power series, interpreting them as analogues of the classical beta function. Moreover, once this analogy was made he naturally was forced to factor them into a product of three "gamma functions." The previous paragraph is purposely vague and oversimplified. In this article I will attempt to make some of it a little less vague and indicate how the theory of these "gamma" and "beta" functions may be connected with and applied to other aspects of cyclotomy.
