A duality result about special functions in Drinfeld modules of arbitrary rank
Abstract
In the setting of a Drinfeld module over a curve , we use a functorial point of view to define , a generalization of the so called "special functions" introduced by Angl\`es, Ngo Dac and Tavares Ribeiro, and prove the existence of a universal object . We adopt an analogous approach with the dual Drinfeld module to define . The universal object of this functor, denoted by , is a generalization of Pellarin zeta functions, can be expressed as an Eisenstein-like series over the period lattice, and its coordinates are analytic functions from to . For all integers we define dot products as certain meromorphic differential forms over , and prove they are actually rational. This amounts to a generalization of Pellarin's identity for the Carlitz module, and is linked to the pairing of the -motive and the dual -motive defined by Hartl and Juschka. Finally, we develop an algorithm to compute the forms when , and prove a conjecture of Gazda and Maurischat about the invertibility of special functions for Drinfeld modules of rank .
