Drinfeld Modular Curves Subordinate to Conjugacy Classes of Nilpotent Upper-Triangular Matrices
Abstract
We introduce normalized Drinfeld modular curves that parameterize rank Drinfeld modules compatible with a -torsion structure arising from a given conjugacy class of nilpotent upper-triangular matrices with rank over a finite field . This creates a deep link connecting the classification of nilpotent upper-triangular matrices and the decomposition of Drinfeld modular curves. The conjugacy classes of nilpotent upper-triangular matrices one-to-one corresponds to certain -torsion flags, and form a tree structure. As a result, the associated Drinfeld modular curves are organized in the same tree. This generalizes the tower structure introduced by Bassa, Beelen, Garcia, Stichtenoth, and others. Additionally,we prove the geometric irreducibility of -type normalized Drinfeld modular curves, and characterize their associated function fields.
