Abstract: We establish a general Kronecker limit formula of arbitrary rank over global function fields with Drinfeld period domains playing the role of upper-half plane. The Drinfeld-Siegel units come up as equal characteristic modular forms replacing the classical Delta. This leads to analytic means of deriving a Colmez-type formula for "stable Taguchi height" of CM Drinfeld modules having arbitrary rank. A Lerch-Type formula for "totally real" function fields is also obtained, with the Heegner cycle on the Bruhat-Tits buildings intervene. Also our limit formula is naturally applied to the special values of both the Rankin-Selberg L-functions and the Godement-Jacquet L-functions associated to automorphic cuspidal representations over global function fields.


The aim of this paper is to study, in the function field setting, an analogue of the Kronecker limit formulas of the non-holomorphic Eisenstein series at the archimedean place in the number field case. Let \(k\) be a global function field and let \(\infty\) be a fixed place of \(k\). Let \(\mathfrak{H}^r\) be the Drinfeld period domain of rank \(r\), which admits a ``Möbius left action of \(\mathrm{GL}_r(k_{\infty})\). Let \({\mathbb A}\) be the adele ring of \(k\) and write \(\mathfrak{H}_{\mathbb A}^r=\mathfrak{H}^r\times\mathrm{GL}_r({\mathbb A}^{\infty})\), where \({\mathbb A}^{\infty}\) denotes the finite adele ring of \(k\). The author introduces the ``non-holomorphic Eiseinstein series on \(\mathfrak{H}_{\mathbb A}^r\) given by \[ {\mathbb E}(z_{\mathbb A},s;\varphi^{\infty}) :=\sum_{0\neq x=(x_1,\ldots,x_r)\in k^r}\varphi^{\infty}(xg^{\infty})\frac{\mathrm{Im}(z_{\mathbb A})^s}{|x_1z_1+\cdots +x_{r-1}z_{r-1}+x_r|_{\infty}^{rs}}, \] where \(z_{\mathbb A}=((z_1,\ldots,z_{r-1}:1),g^{\infty})\in\mathfrak{H}_{\mathbb A}^r\) and \(\mathrm{Im}(z_{\mathbb A})\) is the ``total imaginary part of \(z_{\mathbb A}\) which is introduced in Section 2. The main result of the paper says that \({\mathbb E} (z_{\mathbb A},s;\varphi^{\infty})\) is an ``extension of the ``mirabolic Eiseinstein series on \(\mathrm{GL}_r({\mathbb A})\) associated to \(\varphi^{\infty}\) to \(\mathfrak{H}_{\mathbb A}^r\) through the building map and finds \(\frac{\partial}{\partial s} {\mathbb E}(z_{\mathbb A},s;\varphi^{\infty})\big|_{s=0}\). The period domain of Drinfeld, together with the building map to the Bruhat-Tits building, provide a perfect choice of the symmetric space for \(\mathrm{GL}_r\) over global function fields. With this framework over function fields it is possible to obtain the Kronecker terms as in the classical \(\mathrm{GL}_2\) case. In particular, Kronecker terms can be understood for \(r>2\) in the function field setting. In the number field case, it seems no ideal candidates of the symmetric space for \(\mathrm{GL}_r\) when \(r>2\). The main theorem is applied to derive an analogue of the Colmez formula for the stable ``Taguchi height of Drinfeld modules. This is the content of Section 5. For the proof, the author extends Hayes' CM theory of Drinfeld modules to the case of arbitrary genus. This is the content of ``Appendix A. From the main result, it is possible to apply the Kronecker limit formula to special values of Rankin-Selberg \(L\)-functions and Godement-Jacquet \(L\)-functions over global function fields. This task is performed in Section 7.
