Abstract: In this paper, we formulate the Drinfeld module analogue of a question raised by Lang and studied by Katz on the existence of rational points on abelian varieties over number fields. Given a maximal ideal fl of Fq[T], the question essentially asks whether, up to isogeny, a Drinfeld module phi over Fq(T) contains a rational fl-torsion point if the reduction of phi at almost all primes of Fq[T] contains a rational fl-torsion point. Similar to the case of abelian varieties, we show that the answer is positive if the rank of the Drinfeld module is 2, but negative if the rank is 3. Moreover, for rank 3 Drinfeld modules we classify those cases where the answer is positive.
