Abstract

In the work of M. A. Papanikolas and N. Ramachandran [A Weil-Barsotti formula for Drinfeld modules, Journal of Number Theory 98, (2003), 407-431] the Weil-Barsotti formula for the function field case concerning \Extτ1(E,C)\Ext_{\tau}^1(E,C) where EE is a Drinfeld module and CC is the Carlitz module was proved. We generalize this formula to the case where EE is a strictly pure \tm module Φ\Phi with the zero nilpotent matrix NΦ.N_\Phi. For such a \tm module Φ\Phi we explicitly compute its dual \tm module Φ{\Phi}^{\vee} as well as its double dual Φ.{\Phi}^{{\vee}{\vee}}. This computation is done in a a subtle way by combination of the \tm reduction algorithm developed by F. G{\l}och, D.E. K{\k e}dzierski, P. Kraso{\'n} [ Algorithms for determination of \tm module structures on some extension groups , arXiv:2408.08207] and the methods of the work of D.E. K{\k e}dzierski and P. Kraso{\'n} [On \Ext1\Ext^1 for Drinfeld modules, Journal of Number Theory 256 (2024) 97-135]. We also give a counterexample to the Weil-Barsotti formula if the nilpotent matrix NΦN_{\Phi} is non-zero.
