We review some aspects of the theory of noncommutative two-tori with real multiplication focusing on the role played by Heisenberg groups in the definition of algebraic structures associated to these noncommutative spaces.

This is the second in a series of two papers presenting a solution to Hilbert's 12th problem for real quadratic function fields in positive characteristic, in the sense of proving an analog of the Theorem of Weber-Fueter. We also offer a…

Class field theory furnishes an intrinsic description of the abelian extensions of a number field that is in many cases not of an immediate algorithmic nature. We outline the algorithms available for the explicit computation of such…

We study the group of extensions in the category of Drinfeld modules and Anderson's t-modules, and we show in certain cases that this group can itself be given the structure of a t-module. Our main result is a Drinfeld module analogue of…

In this paper, we generalize Dorman's work to estimate singular moduli for higher rank Drinfeld modules. In particular, we give a lower bound on the valuation of singular moduli for Drinfeld modules with complex multiplication by an…

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 work with detail the Drinfeld module over the ring $$A=F_2[x,y]/(y^2+y=x^3+x+1).$$ The example in question is one of the four examples that come from quadratic imaginary fields with class number $h = 1$ and rank one. We develop specific…

We state and prove a formula for a certain value of the Goss L-function of a Drinfeld module. This gives characteristic-p-valued function field analogues of the class number formula and of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. The…

We define the canonical submodule of a Drinfeld module of rank greater than one over the affine line over a finite field. (This extends the definition of the level 1 canonical subgroup of Hattori for rank 2 with ordinary reduction.) We give…

In this paper we prove a special case of the Lehmer inequality for Drinfeld modules. Also, based on this inequality, we prove certain Mordell-Weil type of theorems for certain infinitely generated fields.

We survey some aspects of the theory of noncommutative manifolds focusing on the noncommutative analogs of two-dimensional tori and low-dimensional spheres. We are particularly interested in those aspects of the theory that link the…

Higher genus partition functions of two-dimensional conformal field theories have to be invariants under linear actions of mapping class groups. We illustrate recent results [4,6] on the construction of such invariants by concrete…

In this paper, we will give an overview of known and new techniques on how one can obtain explicit equations for candidates of good towers of function fields. The techniques are founded in modular theory (both the classical modular theory…

The present article aims to provide a brief account of the theories of Drinfeld modules and Anderson's $t$-modules and $t$-motives. As such the article is not meant to be comprehensive, but we have endeavored to summarize aspects of the…

We study the quasi-endomorphism ring of infinitely definable subgroups in separably closed fields. Based on the results we obtain, we are able to prove a Mordell-Lang theorem for Drinfeld modules of finite characteristic. Using…

We give a brief introduction to Drinfeld modular forms, concentrating on the many equivalent constructions of the form h of weight q+1 and type 1, to which we contribute some new characterizations involving Moore determinants, and an…

We prove an analogue of the Sato-Tate conjecture for Drinfeld modules. Using ideas of Drinfeld, J.-K. Yu showed that Drinfeld modules satisfy some Sato-Tate law, but did not describe the actual law. More precisely, for a Drinfeld module…

In this paper we provide a short proof of the Riemann Hypothesis for Drinfeld modules which uses only basic notions from the theory of global function fields and of Drinfeld modules.

In this survey we review different instances in which the Drinfeld double of a finite group and its representations play a role, touching upon some of Tom Koornwinder's research interests: harmonic analysis, Lie algebras, quantum groups,…

Arbitrarily many pairwise inequivalent modular categories can share the same modular data. We exhibit a family of examples that are module categories over twisted Drinfeld doubles of finite groups, and thus in particular integral modular…
