چکیده

We give explicit equations for the simplest towers of Drinfeld modular curves over any finite field, and observe that they coincide with the asymptotically optimal towers of curves constructed by Garcia and Stichtenoth.

Explicit modular towers

We give a general recipe for explicitly constructing asymptotically optimal towers of modular curves such as {X0(l)}n>1. We illustrate the method by giving equations for eight towers with various geometric features. We conclude by observing that such towers are all of a specific recursive form and speculate that perhaps every tower of this form which attains the Drinfeld-Vlăduţ bound is modular...

Introduction to Drinfeld Modules

(1) Explicit class field theory for global function fields (just as torsion of Gm gives abelian extensions of Q, and torsion of CM elliptic curves gives abelian extension of imaginary quadratic fields). Here global function field means Fp(T ) or a finite extension. (2) Langlands conjectures for GLn over function fields (Drinfeld modular varieties play the role of Shimura varieties). (3) Modular...

The Rigid Analytical Regulator and K2 of Drinfeld Modular Curves

We evaluate a rigid analytical analogue of the Beilinson-Bloch-Deligne regulator on certain explicit elements in the K2 of Drinfeld modular curves, constructed from analogues of modular units, and relate its value to special values of L-series using the Rankin-Selberg method.

On the Cuspidal Divisor Class Group of a Drinfeld Modular Curve

The theory of theta functions for arithmetic groups that act on the Drinfeld upper half-plane is extended to allow degenerate parameters. This is used to investigate the cuspidal divisor class groups of Drinfeld modular curves. These groups are nite for congruence subgroups and may be described through the corresponding quotients of the Bruhat-Tits tree by . The description given is fairly expl...

On the Number of Rational Points on Drinfeld Modular Varieties over Finite Fields

Drinfeld and Vladut proved that Drinfeld modular curves have many Fq2 -rational points compared to their genera. We propose a conjectural generalization of this result to higher dimensional Drinfeld modular varieties, and prove a theorem giving some evidence for the conjecture.
