Abstract
We introduce two new types of towers of Drinfeld modular curves. These towers originate from a specific domain and are analogous to the towers of rank-two Drinfeld modular curves over the polynomial ring. Specifically, the domain corresponds to the projective line over the finite field , equipped with an infinite place of degree two. We select an arbitrary non-zero principal -ideal of degree two. Notably, the -reduction of the tower of minimal Drinfeld modular curves is asymptotically optimal over the finite field .
