Abstract

Let C(pr)\mathcal{C}(\mathfrak{p}^r) be the rational cuspidal divisor class group of the Drinfeld modular curve X0(pr)X_0(\mathfrak{p}^r) for a prime power level prFq[T]\mathfrak{p}^r\in \mathbb{F}_q[T]. We relate the rational cuspidal divisors of degree 00 on X0(pr)X_0(\mathfrak{p}^r) with Δ\Delta-quotients, where Δ\Delta is the Drinfeld discriminant function. As a result, we are able to determine explicitly the structure of C(pr)\mathcal{C}(\mathfrak{p}^r) for arbitrary prime pFq[T]\mathfrak{p}\in \mathbb{F}_q[T] and r2r\geq 2.
