A Ramanujan bound for Drinfeld modular forms

Number Theory 2025-07-18 v2 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We prove a Lefschetz trace formula for B\"ockle-Pink crystals on tame Deligne-Mumford stacks of finite type over Fq\mathbb{F}_q and apply it to the crystal associated to the universal Drinfeld module. Combined with the Eichler-Shimura theory developed by B\"ockle, this leads to a trace formula for Hecke operators on Drinfeld modular forms. As an application, we deduce a Ramanujan bound on the traces of Hecke operators.
