Abstract

Let A=Fq[T]A = \mathbb{F}_q[T], pA\mathfrak{p} \subset A prime, f(x)A[x]f(x) \in A[x] irreducible and set R=A[x]/f(x)R = A[x]/f(x). Denote its completion by RpR_\mathfrak{p}. The ideal class monoid ICM(Rp)\text{ICM}(R_\mathfrak{p}) is the set of fractional RpR_\mathfrak{p} ideals modulo the principal RpR_\mathfrak{p} ideals. We provide an algorithm to compute ICM(Rp)\text{ICM}(R_\mathfrak{p}). In the process we also get algorithms to compute the overorders and weak equivalence classes of RpR_\mathfrak{p}. We then use the algorithms to compute the product of local Gekeler ratios pAvp(f)=pAlimn{MMatr(A/pn)charpoly(M)=f}SLr(A/pn)/pn(r1)\prod_{\mathfrak{p} \subset A} v_\mathfrak{p}(f) = \prod_{\mathfrak{p} \subset A} \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{|\{M \in \text{Mat}_r(A/\mathfrak{p}^n)\mid \text{charpoly}(M)=f\}}{|\text{SL}_r(A/\mathfrak{p}^n)|/|\mathfrak{p}|^{n(r-1)}}. This provides part of an algorithm to compute the weighted size of an isogeny class of Drinfeld modules.
