Abstract

Let Z=X1×...×XnZ=X_1\times...\times X_n be a product of Drinfeld modular curves. We characterize those algebraic subvarieties XZX \subset Z containing a Zariski-dense set of CM points, i.e. points corresponding to nn-tuples of Drinfeld modules with complex multiplication (and suitable level structure). This is a characteristic pp analogue of a special case of the Andr\'e-Oort conjecture. We follow closely the approach used by Bas Edixhoven in characteristic zero, see math.NT/0302138. Note that in this paper we assume that the characteristic pp is odd, and we only treat the case of Drinfeld Fq[T]F_q[T]-modules.
