Explicit formulas for Drinfeld modules and their periods (Q1946709)

After introducing some notation from the theory of Drinfeld modules (lattice \(\Lambda\), exponential function \(e_{\Lambda}\), logarithm function \(\log_{\Lambda}\) attached to a Drinfeld module), the authors apply their notion of ``shadowed partitions'' to find compact formulas for the coefficients of \(\exp_{\Lambda}\) and \(\log_{\Lambda}\). In the case of Drinfeld modules of rank 2, they also determine the radius of convergence of \(\log_{\Lambda}\) and, under the assumption that the lattice \(\Lambda\) has a minimal basis with two different lengths, they give an analytic expression for a minimal non-zero vector in \(\Lambda\).
