The Arithmetic of Function Fields: Proceedings of the Workshop at the Ohio State University, June 17-26, 1991 (Ohio State University Mathematical Re)

These proceedings (workshop held at Ohio State U., June 1991) introduce new techniques which center on Drinfield modules and their higher dimensional analogs, t-modules. The theory of Drinfield modules has grown rapidly over the last few years, yet is unknown to most mathematicians. This volume intr

This series is devoted to the publication of monographs, lecture resp. seminar notes, and other materials arising from programs of the OSU Mathemaical Research Institute. This includes proceedings of conferences or workshops held at the Institute, and other mathematical writings. It is well known ([2], p.460) that the theory of Drinfeld modules appears under the dual aspects of t -modules and t-motives.
