Abstract

Let FF be a number field. Given finitely many FF-valued points on a commutative algebraic group defined over FF, a question of interest to number theorists is the determination of the group of their linear relations. In this article, we investigate an analogous problem in the tt-module setting. Let LL be a global function field, and EE be a dd-dimensional tt-module defined over LL. Given finitely many points on EE with entries in LL, we establish the connection between their Fq[t]\mathbb{F}_q[t]-linear relations and polynomial solutions of Frobenius difference equations. Consequently, we deduce an algorithm to compute the module of their Fq[t]\mathbb{F}_q[t]-linear relations.
