The \(A\)-module structure induced by a Drinfeld \(A\)-module of rank 2 over a finite field



Abstract: Let Phi be a Drinfeld mathbfFq[T]-module of rank 2, over a finite field L, a finite extension of n degrees for a finite field with q elements %mathbfFq. Let PPhi(X)= X2−cX+muPm (c an element of %mathbfFq[T] and mu a no null element of mathbfFq, m the degree of the extension L over the field mathbfFq[T]/P, P is a mathbfF%q[T]-characteristic of L and d the degree of the polynomial P) the characteristic polynomial, of the Frobenius F of L. We will interested to the structure of finite mathbfFq[T]-module LPhi deduct by Phi over L and will proof our main result, the analogue of Deuring theorem for the elliptic curves : Let M=fracmathbfF%q[T]I1oplusfracmathbfFq[T]I2, where I1=(i1),%I2=(i2) (i1, i2 two polynomials of mathbfFq[T]%) and such that : i2mid(c−2). Then there exists an ordinary Drinfeld mathbfFq[T]% -module Phi over L of rank 2, such that : %LPhi simeqM. We finish by a statistic about the cyclicity of such structure LPhi, and we prove that is cyclic only for the trivial extensions of mathbfFq.


Let \(A={\mathbb F}_q[T]\) and let \(L\) be a finite field that is an extension of degree \(m\) of \(A/(P)\) for some irreducible \(P\in A\) of degree \(d\). The paper states that every \(A\)-module structure \(A/(i_1)\oplus A/(i_2)\) that satisfies certain necessary conditions does indeed occur as a Drinfeld module structure on \(L\) for an ordinary rank \(2\) Drinfeld \(A\)-module. Actually, the conditions \((i_1 i_2)=(1-c+\mu P^m)\) and \(\deg(c)\leq\frac{md}{2}\) (mentioned elsewhere in the paper) have been forgotten in the formulation of the main theorem. Moreover, the (nontrivial) condition that the polynomial \(X^2-cX+\mu P^m\) is irreducible over \({\mathbb F}_q((1/T))\) seems to have been completely overlooked in the paper. For the analogous question which group structures occur as Mordell-Weil groups of an elliptic curve over a finite field see for example \textit{H.-G. Rück} [Math. Comput. 49, 301--304 (1987; Zbl 0628.14019)].
