Math.: 14K15, 14F30, 14F35Keywords: $p$-adic integration, Laurent series fields AbstractInspired by Besser’s work on Coleman integration, we use $\nabla$-modules to define iterated line integrals over Laurent series fields of characteristic $p$ taking values in double cosets of unipotent $n\times n$ matrices with coefficients in the Robba ring divided out by unipotent $n\times n$ matrices with coefficients in the bounded Robba ring on the left and by unipotent $n\times n$ matrices with coefficients in the constant field on the right. We reach our definition by looking at the analogous theory for Laurent series fields of characteristic $0$ first, and reinterpreting the classical formal logarithm in terms of $\nabla$-modules on formal schemes. To illustrate that the new $p$-adic theory is non-trivial, we show that it includes the $p$-adic formal logarithm as a special case.
