Sur les zéros des séries d'Eisenstein dans le demi-plan de Drinfeld (Q4219656)

Eisenstein series \(E^{(\ell)}\) for \(\Gamma=GL_2(A)\) (where \(A=\mathbb F_q[T])\) are Drinfeld modular forms, i.e., rigid analytic functions on Drinfeld's half-plane \(\Omega\) that satisfy the usual transformation formula and certain boundary conditions. The \(E^{(\ell)}\) have distinguished properties if \(\ell=q^k-1\) for some \(k\); for example, all their zeros \(z\) are simple and satisfy \(|z|=1\) if \(z\) is assumed in the standard fundamental domain \(\mathcal F\) of \(\Gamma\) in \(\Omega\). Using results of Cornelissen and the reviewer as well as the non-archimedean residue theorem, the author sketches proofs of statements about the number of zeros of \(E^{(q^k-1)}\) in \(\mathcal F\) and about the growth of its absolute value \(|E^{(q^k-1)}|\).
