Explicit Drinfeld moduli schemes and Abhyankar's generalized iteration conjecture

Abstract: Let

k

be a field containing

m a t h b b F_{q}

. Let

p s i

be a rank

r

Drinfeld

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

-module determined by

p s i_{t} (X) = t X + a_{1} X^{q} + c d o t s + a_{r - 1} X^{q^{r - 1}} + X^{q^{r}}

, where

t, a_{1}, l d o t s, a_{r - 1}

are algebraically independent over

k

. Let

n i n m a t h b b F_{q} [T]

be a monic polynomial. We show that the Galois group of

p s i_{n} (X)

over

k (t, a_{1}, l d o t s, a_{r - 1})

is isomorphic to

m a t h r m {G L}_{r} (m a t h b b F_{q} [t] / n m a t h b b F_{q} [t])

, settling a conjecture of Abhyankar. Along the way we obtain an explicit construction of Drinfeld moduli schemes of level

t n

.
