Transformation formula for logarithmic-type pp-adic hypergeometric functions

Let WW be the coefficient ring, let σ(t)=ctp\sigma(t)=ct^p and σ^(t)=c1tp\widehat{\sigma}(t)=c^{-1}t^p, and let aZp\Z0a\in\mathbb{Z}_p\backslash\mathbb{Z}_{\leq 0} satisfy a(r)=aa^{(r)}=a for some r>0r>0, where a(r)a^{(r)} is the rrth Dwork prime. Put

h(t):=i=0r1Fa(i),,a(i)(t)<p.h(t):=\prod_{i=0}^{r-1}F_{a^{(i)},\cdots,a^{(i)}}(t)_{<p}.

Then the transformation formula is

Fa,,a  (σ)(t)=F^a,,a  (σ^)(t1)\mathscr{F}_{a,\cdots,a}^{\;(\sigma)}(t)=-\widehat{\mathscr{F}}_{a,\cdots,a}^{\;(\widehat{\sigma})}(t^{-1})

in the ring Wt,t1,h(t)1W\langle t,t^{-1},h(t)^{-1}\rangle, where F^a,,a  (σ^)(t1)\widehat{\mathscr{F}}_{a,\cdots,a}^{\;(\widehat{\sigma})}(t^{-1}) is defined as ω(F^a,,a  (σ^)(t))\omega(\widehat{\mathscr{F}}_{a,\cdots,a}^{\;(\widehat{\sigma})}(t)) and Fa,,a  (σ)(t)\mathscr{F}_{a,\cdots,a}^{\;(\sigma)}(t) is the pp-adic hypergeometric function of logarithmic type. This transformation relates the two Frobenius lifts by inversion of the variable; the supplied text gives a proof via comparison of two expressions for eξΦ(eξ)e_{\xi}-\Phi(e_{\xi}), but does not otherwise establish the status of the displayed formula beyond that proof.
