    Let \(h(\phi)\) be the logarithmic height of the polynomial \(\phi\) (i.e., the maximum of logarithms of absolute values of the coefficients of \(\phi)\). A result of \textit{P. Cohen} [Math. Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. 95, 389-402 (1984; Zbl 0541.10026)] states that the modular polynomial \(\phi_m\) \((m\in\mathbb{N})\) of elliptic curves satisfies \[ h(\phi_m)= 6\psi(m)(\log m- 2\kappa(m)+ O(1)) \] with well-known arithmetic functions \(\psi(m)\) and \(\kappa(m)\). Following the analogy between elliptic curves and Drinfeld \(A\)-modules of rank two (here \(A\) is the polynomial ring \(\mathbb{F}_q[T]\) over a finite field \(\mathbb{F}_q\)), the author proves a similar statement for the height of the Drinfeld modular polynomial \(\phi_m(x,y)\) (where \(m\in A\) is a non-constant monic polynomial over \(\mathbb{F}_q\)). Main ingredients are Farey sequences for \(A\) (the theory of which is partially developed), estimates on the Drinfeld invariant \(j(t)\) in terms of the imaginary distance \(| z|_i\), and some non-archimedean function theory.
