Abstract

Let (Pd)(P_d) be any prime of Fq[t]\mathbb{F}_q[t] of degree dd and consider the space of Drinfeld cusp forms of level PdP_d, i.e. for the modular group Γ0(Pd)\Gamma_0(P_d). We provide a definition for oldforms and newforms of level PdP_d. Moreover, when the dimension of the vector space of oldforms is one and P1=tP_1=t we prove that the space of cuspforms of level tt is the direct sum of oldforms and newforms and that the Hecke operator Tt\mathbf{T}_t acting on Drinfeld cusp forms of level 1 is injective, thus providing more evidence for the conjectures presented and stated in [2] and [3].
