We make a detailed account of sign-normalized rank 1 Drinfeld A-modules, for A the coordinate ring of an elliptic curve over a finite field, in order to provide a parallel theory to the Carlitz module for F_q[t]. Using precise formulas for…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements. M. Gerstenhaber and Irving Reiner has given two different methods to show the number of matrices with a given characteristic polynomial. In this talk, we will give another proof for…

This article surveys results on graded algebras and their Hilbert series. We give simple constructions of finitely generated graded associative algebras $R$ with Hilbert series $H(R,t)$ very close to an arbitrary power series $a(t)$ with…

We present the formula for the number of monic irreducible polynomials of degree $n$ over the finite field $\mathbb F_q$ where the coefficients of $x^{n-1}$ and $x$ vanish for $n\ge3$. In particular, we give a relation between rational…

We define a transcendence degree for division algebras, by modifying the lower transcendence degree construction of Zhang. We show that this invariant has many of the desirable properties one would expect a noncommutative analogue of the…

We obtain explicit upper and lower bounds on the size of the coefficients of the Drinfeld modular polynomials $\Phi_N$ for any monic $N\in\mathbb{F}_q[t]$. These polynomials vanish at pairs of $j$-invariants of Drinfeld…

Given an associative, not necessarily commutative, ring R with identity, a formal matrix calculus is introduced and developed for pairs of matrices over R. This calculus subsumes the theory of homogeneous systems of linear equations with…

We explain that in the study of the asymptotic expansion at the origin of a period integral like $\gamma$z $\omega$/df or of a hermitian period like f =s $\rho$.$\omega$/df $\land$ $\omega$ /df the computation of the Bernstein polynomial of…

A differential module is a module equipped with a square-zero endomorphism. This structure underpins complexes of modules over rings, as well as differential graded modules over graded rings. We establish lower bounds on the class--a…

We introduce formulas for the logarithms of Drinfeld modules using a framework recently developed by the second author. We write the logarithm function as the evaluation under a motivic map of a product of rigid analytic trivializations of…

We study real numbers defined by multidimensional automatic arrays weighted by multiplicatively independent bases. Let $a_1, \dots, a_r\geq 2$ be integers such that $\log a_1, \dots, \log a_r$ are $\mathbb Q$-linearly independent. Given…

Let $M$ be a free module of rank $m$ over a commutative unital ring $R$ and let $N$ be its free submodule. We consider the problem when a given element of the exterior product $\Lambda^pM$ is divisible, in a sense, over elements of the…

Let $K$ be a complete discretely valued field of rank one, with residue field $\Q_p$. It is well known that period equals index in $\Br(K)$. We prove that when $p=2$ there exist noncyclic $K$-division algebras of every $2$-power degree…

For a root system R, a field K and an invertible element q in K let U be the associated quantum group, defined via Lusztig's divided powers construction. We study the irreducible characters of this algebra with integral (but not necessarily…

Let $k$ be a field containing $\mathbb{F}_q$. Let $\psi$ be a rank $r$ Drinfeld $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$-module determined by $\psi_t(X) = tX+a_1X^q+\cdots+a_{r-1}X^{q^{r-1}}+X^{q^r}$, where $t,a_1,\ldots,a_{r-1}$ are algebraically independent…

Let X be a smooth projective curve of genus g over a finite field F_q of characteristic p. Consider primes l different from p. We formulate some questions related to a well known counting formula of Drinfeld. Drinfeld counts rank 2,…

Let $\mathcal {A}$ be a finitary hereditary abelian category. We define a Hall algebra for the root category of $\mathcal {A}$ by applying the derived Hall numbers of the bounded derived category $D^b(\mathcal {A})$, which is proved to be…

This article is divided in two parts. In the first part we endow a certain ring of ``Drinfeld quasi-modular forms'' for $\GL_2(\FF_q[T])$ (where $q$ is a power of a prime) with a system of "divided derivatives" (or hyperderivations). This…

After giving an overview of the existing theory regarding the periods of sequences defined by linear recurrences over finite fields, we give explicit descriptions of the sets of periods that arise if one considers all sequences over…
