The aim of the paper under review is to study a possible adaptation of the Manin-Mumford Conjecture (first proved by \textit{M. Raynaud} in [Invent. Math. 74, 207--233 (1983; Zbl 0564.14020)]) to T-modules. After the introduction the author presents the definition and properties of T-modules, which are affine algebraic varieties over function fields of characteristic \(p\) possessing a module structure that generalize to higher dimension the notion of Drinfeld Module. He then shows that the natural generalizations of the Manin-Mumford Conjecture for T-modules, proposed by L. Denis, fails for arbitrary T-module (even if similar results holds for the finite powers of Drinfeld modules as in [\textit{T. Scanlon}, J. Number Theory 97, No. 1, 10--25 (2002; Zbl 1055.11037)]). Various counterexamples are constructed, the more general one is given by the product of two different Drinfeld modules, with module structures chosen properly. Finally the author proposes a new formulation of (various versions of the) Manin-Mumford Conjecture, in the spirit of \textit{J. Pila} and \textit{U. Zannier} [Atti Accad. Naz. Lincei, Cl. Sci. Fis. Mat. Nat., IX. Ser., Rend. Lincei, Mat. Apple. 19 (2), 149--162 (2008; Zbl 1164.11029)], that reads as follows: Conjecture: Let \(\mathcal{A} = (\mathbb{G}_a^m,\phi)\) be a uniformizable T-module of dimension \(m > 1\) such that there exists \(i \neq 0\) such that the leading coefficient matrix of \(\phi(T^i)\) is invertible. Let \(X\) be a non-trivial irreducible algebraic sub variety of \(\mathcal{A}\), defined over \(\overline{k}\). If \(X\) does not contain torsion sub varieties of positive dimension, then \(X\) contains at most finitely many torsion points of \(\mathcal{A}\). | |||
