On Drinfeld cusp forms of prime level

Abstract: Let

(P_{d})

be any prime of

m a t h b b F_{q} [t]

of degree

d

and consider the space of Drinfeld cusp forms of level

P_{d}

, i.e. for the modular group

G a m m a_{0} (P_{d})

. We provide a definition for oldforms and newforms of level

P_{d}

. Moreover, when the dimension of the vector space of oldforms is one and

P_{1} = t

we prove that the space of cuspforms of level

t

is the direct sum of oldforms and newforms and that the Hecke operator

m a t h b f T_{t}

acting on Drinfeld cusp forms of level 1 is injective, thus providing more evidence for the conjectures presented and stated in [2] and [3].
