Abstract

We work with detail the Drinfeld module over the ring A=F2[x,y]/(y2+y=x3+x+1).A=F_2[x,y]/(y^2+y=x^3+x+1). The example in question is one of the four examples that come from quadratic imaginary fields with class number h=1h = 1 and rank one. We develop specific formulas for the coefficients dkd_k and k\ell_k of the exponential and logarithmic functions and relate them with the product DkD_k of all monic elements of AA of degree kk. On the Carlitz module, DkD_k and dkd_k coincide, but this is not true in general Drinfeld modules. On this example, we obtain a formula relating both invariants. We prove also using elementary methods a theorem due to Thakur that relate two different combinatorial symbols important in the analysis of solitons.
