New optimal function field towers over finite fields of quartic power

Abstract

We introduce two new types of towers of Drinfeld modular curves. These towers originate from a specific domain A\mathcal{A} and are analogous to the towers of rank-two Drinfeld modular curves over the polynomial ring. Specifically, the domain A\mathcal{A} corresponds to the projective line over the finite field Fq \mathbb{F}_q , equipped with an infinite place of degree two. We select an arbitrary non-zero principal A\mathcal{A} -ideal Iη I_{\eta} of degree two. Notably, the Iη I_{\eta} -reduction of the tower of minimal Drinfeld modular curves is asymptotically optimal over the finite field Fq4 \mathbb{F}_{q^4} .
