Finiteness of an isogeny class of Drinfeld modules -- correction to a previous paper (Q1283820): Difference between revisions

The author proves the finiteness of an isogeny class of Drinfeld \(A\)-modules over a finite extension of the fraction field of \(A\). This contradicts remark 3.4 (ii-1) of his previous paper [\textit{Y. Taguchi}, The arithmetic of function fields, Ohio State Univ. Math. Res. Inst. Publ. 2, 171-187 (1992; Zbl 0801.11027)]. This is because proposition 3.1 is wrong, on which section 3 of that paper was based (the wrong point is in the ``because'' of the second to last sequence of the proof). Besides, the property (ii) of example 2.2 fails, which made use of a result in section 3 (at present, its (in)validity is not known). The paper under review replaces the whole section 3 (except for remarks 3.3 and 3.5). The strategy of his proof of the finiteness is similar to that of \textit{G. Faltings} [Invent. Math. 73, 349-366 (1983; Zbl 0588.14026)], but in this case, it is necessary to check that the Galois action on the determinants of certain subgroups of a Drinfeld module is just ``as expected''; to do so, he shows that a truncated \(v\)-divisible group is liftable to a \(v\)-divisible group [cf. \textit{L. Illusie}, Déformations de groupes de Barsotti-Tate, d'après A. Grothendieck, Astérisque 127, 151-198 (1985; Zbl 0588.14028)]).
