On successive minimal bases of division points of Drinfeld modules

Number Theory 2023-12-19 v3

Abstract

We define successive minimal bases (SMBs) for the space of unu^{n}-division points of a Drinfeld Fq[t]\mathbb{F}_{q}[t]-module over a local field, where uu is a finite prime of Fq[t]\mathbb{F}_{q}[t] and nn is a positive integer. These SMBs share similar properties to those of SMBs of the lattices associated to Drinfeld modules. We study the relations between these SMBs and those of the lattices. Finally, we apply the relations to study the explicit wild ramification subgroup action on an SMB of the space of unu^{n}-division points and show the function field analogue of Szpiro's conjecture for rank 22 Drinfeld modules under a certain limited situation.
