Abstract

Let k=Fqk =\mathbb{F}_q be the finite field of qq elements and EE an elliptic curve over kk. Let F=k(E)F = k(E) be the function field over EE and let O=k[E]\mathcal{O} = k[E] be the ring of integers. We fix the place at \infty of FF and let FF_{\infty} be the completion. The group Γ=GL2(O)\overline\Gamma = {\rm{GL}}_2(\mathcal{O}) acts on T\mathcal{T}, the Bruhat-Tits building of PGL2(F){\rm{PGL}}_2(F_{\infty}). In this article, we construct the group of modular symbols over Γ\Gamma, a congruence subgroup of Γ\overline\Gamma. We prove that this space is given by an explicit set of generators and relations among them.
