The Mordell-Weil Theorem for t-modules
Yen-Liang Kuan (NCTS)
Abstract:
For each positive characteristic multiple zeta value (defined by Thakur)
, Chang-Papanikolas-Yu constructed the
-module
defined over
and integral points
,
. They proved that
is Eulerian (resp. zeta-like) if and only if
is an
-torsion point in
(resp.
,
are
-linearly dependent in
).
In this talk, we are interested in the structure theory of the
-module
. Poonen proved an analogue for Drinfeld modules of the Mordell-Weil theorem. We shall generalize his results to the case of specific families of
-modules. In particular, we prove that the
-module
is the direct sum of its torsion submodule, which is finite, with a free
-module of rank
.
