Let $q$ be an odd number and $q>5$, and $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of $q$ elements. We prove that at most finitely many singular moduli of rank 2 $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$-Drinfeld modules are algebraic units. In particular, we develop some…

We show that the module of integral points on a Drinfeld module satisfies a an analogue of Dirichlet's unit theorem, despite its failure to be finitely generated. As a consequence, we obtain a construction of a canonical finitely generated…

Let $Z=X_1\times...\times X_n$ be a product of Drinfeld modular curves. We characterize those algebraic subvarieties $X \subset Z$ containing a Zariski-dense set of CM points, i.e. points corresponding to $n$-tuples of Drinfeld modules with…

We consider the analogue of the Andr\'e-Oort conjecture for Drinfeld modular varieties which was formulated by Breuer. We prove this analogue for special points with separable reflex field over the base field by adapting methods which were…

Rank-2 Drinfeld modules are a function-field analogue of elliptic curves, and the purpose of this paper is to investigate similarities and differences between rank-2 Drinfeld modules and elliptic curves in terms of supersingularity.…

We explore an analogue of the Andr\'e-Oort conjecture for subvarieties of Drinfeld modular varieties. The conjecture states that a subvariety $X$ of a Drinfeld modular variety contains a Zariski-dense set of complex multiplication (CM)…

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 $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the field of $q$ elements and let $A=\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ be the polynomial ring over $\mathbb{F}_q$. Let $\mathfrak{n}\in A\setminus \mathbb{F}_q$ be a monic polynomial with a prime factor of degree prime to $q-1$. Let…

We introduce a certain family of Drinfeld modules that we propose as analogues of the Legendre normal form elliptic curves. We exhibit explicit formulas for a certain period of such Drinfeld modules as well as formulas for the supersingular…

Let X be a product of Drinfeld modular curves over a general base ring A of odd characteristic. We classify those subvarieties of X which contain a Zariski-dense set of CM points. This is an analogue of the Andr\'e-Oort conjecture. As an…

Let $q = p^e \geq 7$ be an odd prime power, and set $A := \mathbb{F}_q[T]$. In this article, we construct an infinite two-parameter family of Drinfeld $A$-modules of rank $3$ such that, for every non-zero prime ideal $\mathfrak{l}$ of $A$,…

By combining theorems of Drinfeld and Strauch, we show that the monodromy representation on the special fibre of a Drinfeld modular variety, with level not divisible by the characteristic, is surjective. We illustrate this result in the…

A result of the second-named author states that there are only finitely many CM-elliptic curves over $\mathbb{C}$ whose $j$-invariant is an algebraic unit. His proof depends on Duke's Equidistribution Theorem and is hence non-effective. In…

Let $F$ be a function field over $\mathbb{F}_q$, $A$ its ring of regular functions outside a place $\infty$ and $\mathfrak{p}$ a prime ideal of $A$. First, we develop Hida theory for Drinfeld modular forms of rank $r$ which are of slope…

We prove that only finitely many $j$-invariants of elliptic curves with complex multiplication are algebraic units. A rephrased and generalized version of this result resembles Siegel's Theorem on integral points of algebraic curves.

In the arithmetic of function fields, Drinfeld modules play the role that elliptic curves play in the arithmetic of number fields. The aim of this paper is to study a non-existence problem of Drinfeld modules with constrains on torsion…

When travelling from the number fields theory to the function fields theory, one cannot miss the deep analogy between rank 1 Drinfeld modules and the group of root of unity and the analogy between rank 2 Drinfeld modules and elliptic…

We formulate and prove a log-algebraicity theorem for arbitrary rank Drinfeld modules defined over the polynomial ring F_q[theta]. This generalizes results of Anderson for the rank one case. As an application we show that certain special…

When the parameter $q\in\mathbb C^*$ is not a root of unity, simple modules of affine $q$-Schur algebras have been classified in terms of Frenkel--Mukhin's dominant Drinfeld polynomials (\cite[4.6.8]{DDF}). We compute these Drinfeld…

In the proofs of most cases of the Andr\'e-Oort conjecture, there are two different steps whose effectivity is unclear: the use of generalizations of Brauer-Siegel and the use of Pila-Wilkie. Only the case of curves in ${\bf C}^2$ is…
