Quantum Drinfeld Modules I: Quantum Modular Invariant and Hilbert Class Fields

Publication date 8 July 2016

Abstract: This is the first of a series of two papers in which we present a solution to Manin's Real Multiplication program -- an approach to Hilbert's 12th problem for real quadratic extensions of

m a t h b b Q

-- in positive characteristic, using quantum analogs of the exponential function and the modular invariant. In this first paper, we treat the problem of Hilbert class field generation. If

k = m a t h b b F_{q} (T)

and

k_{i n f t y}

is the analytic completion of

k

, we introduce the quantum modular invariant [ j^{ m qt}: k_{infty}multimap k_{infty}] as a multivalued, modular invariant function. Then if

K = k (f) s u b s e t k_{i n f t y}

is a real quadratic extension of

k

where

f

is a quadratic unit, we show that the Hilbert class field

H_{m a t h c a l O_{K}}

(associated to

m a t h c a l O_{K} =

integral closure of

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

in

K

) is generated over

K

by the product of the multivalues of

j^{m q t} (f)

.
