Duality of Anderson T-motives

Publication date 13 November 2007

Abstract: Let

M

be a T-motive. We introduce the notion of duality for

M

. Main results of the paper (we consider uniformizable

M

over

F_{q} [T]

of rank

r

, dimension

n

, whose nilpotent operator

N

is 0): 1. Algebraic duality implies analytic duality (Theorem 5). Explicitly, this means that the lattice of the dual of

M

is the dual of the lattice of

M

, i.e. the transposed of a Siegel matrix of

M

is a Siegel matrix of the dual of

M

. 2. Let

n = r - 1

. There is a 1 -- 1 correspondence between pure T-motives (all they are uniformizable), and lattices of rank

r

in

C^{n}

having dual (Corollary 8.4).
