Abstract

Let Ωd\Omega^d be the dd-dimensional Drinfeld symmetric space for a finite extension FF of Qp\mathbb{Q}_p. Let Σ1\Sigma^1 be a geometrically connected component of the first Drinfeld covering of Ωd\Omega^d and let F\mathbb{F} be the residue field of the unique degree d+1d+1 unramified extension of FF. We show that the natural homomorphism determined by the second Drinfeld covering from the group of characters of (F,+)(\mathbb{F}, +) to Pic(Σ1)[p]\text{Pic}(\Sigma^1)[p] is injective. In particular, Pic(Σ1)[p]0\text{Pic}(\Sigma^1)[p] \neq 0. We also show that all vector bundles on Ω1\Omega^1 are trivial, which extends the classical result that Pic(Ω1)=0\text{Pic}(\Omega^1) = 0.
