We study a family $\psi^{\lambda}$ of $\mathbb F_q[T]$-Drinfeld modules, which is a natural analog of Legendre elliptic curves. We then find a surprising recurrence giving the corresponding Deuring polynomial $H_{p(T)}(\lambda)$…

Gives the most precise available description of the p-Frattini module for any p-perfect finite group G=G_0 (Thm. 2.8), and therefore of the groups G_{k,ab}, k \ge 0, from which we form the abelianized M(odular) T(ower). \S 4 includes a…

Let q be a prime power and E a non-isotrivial elliptic curve over Fq(T) given by a Weierstrass model. We survey the construction, with an explicit point of view, of the modular parametrization of E by the associated Drinfeld modular curve.…

Ihara's proof that the reduction of the modular curve $X_0(n)$ at a prime $p$ not dividing $n$ has many points over a quadratic extension is adapted to the drinfeld modular curves $X_0(n)$. In order to do so, some properties of drinfeld…

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…

This is a sequel to the paper [F. Breuer, H.-G. R\"uck, Drinfeld modular polynomials in higher rank, J. Number Theory 129 (2009), 59-83.], in which we introduced Drinfeld modular polynomials of higher rank, using an analytic construction.…

We show that the reductions modulo primes $p\le x$ of the elliptic curve $$ Y^2 = X^3 + f(a)X + g(b), $$ behave as predicted by the Lang-Trotter and Sato-Tate conjectures, on average over integers $a \in [-A,A]$ and $b \in [-B,B]$ for $A$…

We provide a recipe to construct towers of fields producing high order elements in $\mathrm{GF}(q,2^n)$, for odd $q$, and in $\mathrm{GF}(2,2 \cdot 3^n)$, for $n \ge 1$. These towers are obtained recursively by $x_{n}^2 + x_{n} = v(x_{n -…

We give a construction and equations for good recursive towers over any finite field $\mathbf{F}_q$ with $q \ne 2$ and $3$.

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…

Let $f=\sum_{n=0}^\infty f_n x^n \in \overline{\mathbb Q}[[x]$ be a solution of an algebraic differential equation $Q(x,y(x), \ldots, y^{(k)}(x))=0$, where $Q$ is a multivariate polynomial with coefficients in $\overline{\mathbb Q}$. The…

Let $A={\mathbb F}_q[t]$ be the polynomial ring over a finite field ${\mathbb F}_q$ and let $\phi $ and $\psi$ be $A-$Drinfeld modules. In this paper we consider the group ${\mathrm{Ext}}^1(\phi ,\psi )$ with the Baer addition. We show that…

Drinfeld doubles of finite subgroups of SU(2) and SU(3) are investigated in detail. Their modular data - S, T and fusion matrices - are computed explicitly, and illustrated by means of fusion graphs. This allows us to reexamine certain…

We explicitly bound the Faltings height of a curve over Q polynomially in its Belyi degree. Similar bounds are proven for three other Arakelov invariants: the discriminant, Faltings' delta invariant and the self-intersection of the…

Towers of algebraic function fields over finite fields play a fundamental role in arithmetic geometry and coding theory. Classical examples arising from modular and Drinfeld modular curves exhibit asymptotically good behavior. In this…

We present the geometry lying behind counting twin prime polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ in general. We compute cohomology and explicitly count points by means of a twisted Lefschetz trace formula applied to these parametrizing varieties…

This is an English translation of the author's Ph.D. thesis, accumulating his results on a construction of Cohen-Macaulay modules over a polynomial ring that appeared in the study of Cauchy-Fueter equations. This construction is generalized…

Over fields of characteristic zero, we determine all absolutely irreducible Yetter-Drinfeld modules over groups that have prime dimension and yield a finite-dimensional Nichols algebra. To achieve our goal, we introduce orders of braided…

We construct reflection functors for Yetter-Drinfeld modules over Nichols systems and discuss their fundamental properties. We will obtain properties about the geometry of the support of Nichols systems and their Yetter-Drinfeld modules, by…

Suppose we are given a Drinfeld Module $\phi$ over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ of rank $r$ and a prime ideal $\mathfrak{l}$ of $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$. In this paper, we prove that the reducibility of mod $\mathfrak{l}$ Galois representation…
