Remark on function field analogy

Number Theory 2023-02-27 v1 Operator Algebras

Abstract

We study the analogy between number fields and function fields in one variable over finite fields. The main result is an isomorphism between the Hilbert class fields of class number one and a family of the function fields Fq(C)\mathbf{F}_q(C) over a desingularized algebraic curve CC. Our proof is based on the K-theory of the Serre CC^*-algebras and birational geometry of the curve CC. We apply the isomorphism to construct explicit generators of the Hilbert class fields coming from the torsion submodules of the Drinfeld module.
