It is often stated that the Carlitz module is to the ring of univariate polynomials over a finite field what the multiplicative group is to the ring of integers. This analogy extends to the "rank 2" case, where Drinfeld modules play a role…
We present an algorithm for computing the structure of any submodule of the module of points of a Drinfeld $A$-module over a finite field, where $A$ is a function ring over $\mathbb F_q$. When the function ring is $A = \mathbb F_q[T]$, we…
We provide two families of algorithms to compute characteristic polynomials of endomorphisms and norms of isogenies of Drinfeld modules. Our algorithms work for Drinfeld modules of any rank, defined over any base curve. When the base curve…
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…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ be the polynomial ring over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We study the endomorphism rings of Drinfeld $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$-modules of arbitrary rank over finite fields. We compare the endomorphism rings to their subrings…
We present novel algorithms to factor polynomials over a finite field $\F_q$ of odd characteristic using rank $2$ Drinfeld modules with complex multiplication. The main idea is to compute a lift of the Hasse invariant (modulo the polynomial…
Motivated by finding analogues of elliptic curve point counting techniques, we introduce one deterministic and two new Monte Carlo randomized algorithms to compute the characteristic polynomial of a finite rank-two Drinfeld module. We…

We provide explicit series expansions for the exponential and logarithm functions attached to a rank r Drinfeld module that generalize well known formulas for the Carlitz exponential and logarithm. Using these results we obtain a procedure…
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…
The primary objective of this paper is to derive explicit formulas for rank one and rank two Drinfeld modules over a specific domain denoted by A. This domain corresponds to the projective line associated with an infinite place of degree…
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 introduce a new technique to construct rank-metric codes using the arithmetic theory of Drinfeld modules over global fields, and Dirichlet Theorem on polynomial arithmetic progressions. Using our methods, we obtain a new infinite family…
We establish a fundamental breakthrough in rank-one Drinfeld module arithmetic by deriving explicit formulas over the integral domain $\A = H^{0}(\mathbb{P}^1-P_{\rho}, \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1})$, which generalizes the classical…
This is a survey on Anderson t-motives -- high-dimensional generalizations of Drinfeld modules. They are the functional field analogs of abelian varieties with multiplication by an imaginary quadratic field. We describe their lattices,…
This is the second of a series of articles providing a foundation for the theory of Drinfeld modular forms of arbitrary rank. In the present part, we compare the analytic theory with the algebraic one that was begun in a paper of the third…
The Drinfeld module is a tool of the explicit class field theory for the function fields. We first observe a similarity of such modules with the noncommutative tori, and then use it to develop an explicit class field theory for the number…
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.…
Twisted $L$-functions by Dirichlet characters offer deep insights into arithmetic geometry, especially in the study of elliptic curves and abelian varieties over number fields. In the function field setting, Drinfeld modules and Anderson…
We discuss many analogy points with the elliptic curves. more precisely, we study the characteristic polynomial of a Drinfeld module of rank 2 and use it to calculate the number of isogeny classes for such modules.
