An Integral Digit Derivative Basis for Carlitz Prime Power Torsion   Extensions
  Let $\mathfrak{p}$ be a monic irreducible polynomial in $A:=\mathbb{F}_q[\theta]$, the ring of polynomials in the indeterminate $\theta$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, and let $\zeta$ be a root of $\mathfrak{p}$ in an algebraic closure of $\mathbb{F}_q(\theta)$. For each positive integer $n$, let $\lambda_n$ be a generator of the $A$-module of Carlitz $\mathfrak{p}^n$-torsion. We give a basis for the ring of integers $A[\zeta,\lambda_n] \subset K(\zeta, \lambda_n)$ over $A[\zeta] \subset K(\zeta)$ which consists of monomials in the hyperderivatives of the Anderson-Thakur function $\omega$ evaluated at the roots of $\mathfrak{p}$. We also give an explicit field normal basis for these extensions. This builds on (and in some places, simplifies) the work of Angl\`es-Pellarin.
