For each of the groups PSL2(F25), PSL2(F32), PSL2(F49), PGL2(F25), and PGL2(F27), we display the first explicitly known polynomials over Q having that group as Galois group. Each polynomial is related to a Galois representation associated…
Let $f$ be an irreducible polynomial of prime degree $p\geq 5$ over $\QQ$, with precisely $k$ pairs of complex roots. Using a result of Jens H\"{o}chsmann (1999), we show that if $p\geq 4k+1$ then $\Gal(f/\QQ)$ is isomorphic to $A_{p}$ or…
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…
We give an effective algorithm to determine the endomorphism ring of a Drinfeld module, both over its field of definition and over a separable or algebraic closure thereof. Using previous results we deduce an effective description of the…
In this paper, we study the Galois representations attached to products of Drinfeld modules. As an analogue of Serre's classical result on the images of Galois representations associated with products of elliptic curves, we prove that for…
This is the third part of a series of articles providing a foundation for the theory of Drinfeld modular forms of arbitrary rank. In the present article we construct and study some examples of Drinfeld modular forms. In particular we define…
Let f(x) = x^n + (a[n-1] t + b[n-1]) x^(n-1) + ... + (a[0] t + b[0]) be of constant degree n in x and degree <= 1 in t, where all a[i],b[i] are randomly and uniformly selected from a finite field GF(q) of q elements. Then the probability…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q\geq 5$ elements, $A:=\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ and $F:=\mathbb{F}_q(T)$. Assume that $q$ is odd and take $|\cdot|$ to be the absolute value at $\infty$ that is normalized by $|T|=q$. Given a pair…
In this note I demonstrate that the collection of Dynkin systems on finite sets assembles into a Connes-Consani $\mathbb{F}_1$-module, with the collection of partitions of finite sets as a sub-module. The underlying simplicial set of this…
We estimate several probability distributions arising from the study of random, monic polynomials of degree $n$ with coefficients in the integers of a general $p$-adic field $K_{\mathfrak{p}}$ having residue field with $q= p^f$ elements. We…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements and consider the rational function field $K:=\mathbb{F}_q(\theta)$. For a Drinfeld module $\phi$ defined over $K$, we study the transcendence of special values of the Goss…
We construct and study a natural compactification $\overline{M}^r(N)$ of the moduli scheme $M^r(N)$ for rank-$r$ Drinfeld $\F_q[T]$-modules with a structure of level $N \in \F_q[T]$. Namely, $\overline{M}^r(N) = {\rm Proj}\,{\bf Eis}(N)$,…
In this paper, we utilize our previous results on mod p monodromy of cyclic coverings of the projective line to realize a large series of groups of the form PSL(n, q) and PSU(n, q) as Galois groups over Q. We achieve for the first time a…
In this paper, we identify the moduli space for germs of generic unfoldings of nonresonant linear differential systems with an irregular singularity of Poincar\'e rank $k$ at the origin, under analytic equivalence. The modulus of a given…
In analogy with the periods of abelian integrals of differentials of third kind for an elliptic curve defined over a number field, we introduce a notion of periods of third kind for a rank 2 Drinfeld Fq[t]-module rho defined over an…
We study the distribution of the Galois group of a random $q$-additive polynomial over a rational function field: For $q$ a power of a prime $p$, let $f=X^{q^n}+a_{n-1}X^{q^{n-1}}+\ldots+a_1X^q+a_0X$ be a random polynomial chosen uniformly…
Recently, Gekeler proved that the group of invertible analytic functions modulo constant functions on Drinfeld's upper half space is isomorphic to the dual of an integral generalized Steinberg representation. In this note we show that the…
Let $K/F$ be a finite Galois extension of number fields. It is well known that the Tchebotarev density theorem implies that an irreducible, finitely ramified $p$-adic representation $\rho$ of the absolute Galois group of $K$ is determined…
Let $F$ be a field of prime characteristic $p$ containing $F_{p^n}$ as a subfield. We refer to $q(X)=X^{p^n}-X-a\in F[X]$ as a generalized Artin-Schreier polynomial. Suppose that $q(X)$ is irreducible and let $C_{q(X)}$ be the companion…
In our recent paper [Sh1] a version of the "generalized Deligne conjecture" for abelian $n$-fold monoidal categories is proven. For $n=1$ this result says that, given an abelian monoidal $k$-linear category $\mathscr{A}$ with unit $e$, $k$…
