On the Eisenstein ideal over function fields

Number Theory 2015-05-27 v2

Abstract

We study the Eisenstein ideal of Drinfeld modular curves of small levels, and the relation of the Eisenstein ideal to the cuspidal divisor group and the component groups of Jacobians of Drinfeld modular curves. We prove that the characteristic of the function field is an Eisenstein prime number when the level is an arbitrary non square-free ideal of Fq[T]\mathbb{F}_q[T] not equal to a square of a prime.
