It is conjectured that for fixed $A$, $r \ge 1$, and $d \ge 1$, there is a uniform bound on the size of the torsion submodule of a Drinfeld $A$-module of rank $r$ over a degree $d$ extension $L$ of the fraction field $K$ of $A$. We verify…

In this paper, we formulate the Drinfeld module analogue of a question raised by Lang and studied by Katz on the existence of rational points on abelian varieties over number fields. Given a maximal ideal $\fl$ of $\F_q[T]$, the question…

We present an algorithm for computing the structure of any submodule of the module of points of a Drinfeld $A$-module over a finite field, where $A$ is a function ring over $\mathbb F_q$. When the function ring is $A = \mathbb F_q[T]$, we…

To each Drinfeld module over a finitely generated field with generic characteristic, one can associate a Galois representation arising from the Galois action on its torsion points. Recent work of Pink and R\"utsche has described the image…

If M is a Drinfeld module over a local function field L, we may view M as a dynamical system, and consider its filled Julia set J. If J^0 is the connected component of the identity, relative to the Berkovich topology, we give a…

We prove an equidistribution result for torsion points of Drinfeld modules of generic characteristic. We also show that similar equidistribution statements provide proofs for the Manin-Mumford and the Bogomolov conjectures for Drinfeld…

In this paper, we study the ramification of extensions of a function field generated by division points of rank 2 Drinfeld modules. Also conductors of certain rank 2 Drinfeld modules are defined as analogues of those for elliptic curves. A…

We derive asymptotically optimal upper bounds on the number of L-rational torsion points on a given elliptic curve or Drinfeld module defined over a finitely generated field K, as a function of the degree [L:K]. Our main tool is the adelic…

For an extension $K/\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ of the rational function field over a finite field, we introduce the notion of virtually $K$-rational Drinfeld modules as a function field analogue of $\mathbb{Q}$-curves. Our goal in this article is to…

The primary objective of this paper is to derive explicit formulas for rank one and rank two Drinfeld modules over a specific domain denoted by A. This domain corresponds to the projective line associated with an infinite place of degree…

For rank-two $A$-motives defined over local fields with odd characteristic, we give an analogue of a theorem of Imai stating that abelian varieties with good reduction over $p$-adic fields have only finitely many torsion points values in…

In this paper, we study the surjectivity of adelic Galois representation associated to Drinfeld $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$-modules over $\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ of rank $2$ in the cases when $q$ is even or $q=3$.

We prove a few uniform versions of the Mordell-Lang Conjecture and of the Shafarevich Conjecture for curves over function fields and their rational points. The main focus is on function fields having high transcendence degree over the…

Let $q$ be a power of the prime number $p$, let $K={\mathbb F}_q(t)$, and let $r\ge 2$ be an integer. For points ${\mathbf a}, {\mathbf b}\in K$ which are $\mathbb{F}_q$-linearly independent, we show that there exist positive constants…

$\Phi $ be a Drinfeld $\mathbf{F}\_{q}[T]$-module of rank 2, over a finite field $L$. Let $P\_{\Phi}(X)=$ $X^{2}-cX+\mu P^{m}$ ($c$ an element of $\mathbf{F}\_{q}[T],$ $\mu $ be a non-vanishing element of $% \mathbf{F}\_{q}$, $m$ the degree…

We prove that the groups PSL(r,q^d) can be realized F_q(T)-regularly as Galois groups over the purely transcendental field F_q(T)(t_1,...,t_{r-1}) if r is even and r/2 is coprime to q^d-1. The method is to use twisted moduli schemes of…

We investigate Drinfeld modular polynomials parametrizing $T$-isogenies between Drinfeld $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$-modules of rank $r\geq 2$. By providing an explicit classification of such isogenies, we derive explicit bounds on the $T$-degrees of…

Let $F$ be a local non-Archimedean field with ring of integers $o$. Let $\bf X$ be a one-dimensional formal $o$-module of $F$-height $n$ over the algebraic closure of the residue field of $o$. By the work of Drinfeld, the universal…

We prove that the local height of a point on a Drinfeld module can be computed by averaging the logarithm of the distance to that point over the torsion points of the module. This gives rise to a Drinfeld module analog of a weak version of…
