The Rational Torsion Subgroups of the Drinfeld Modular Jacobians for Prime-Power Levels
Sheng-Yang Ho (Pennsylvania State University)
Abstract
Fix a non-zero ideal

of

. Let
%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
be the rational torsion subgroup of the Drinfeld modular Jacobian
%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
. A generalized Ogg's conjecture states that
%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
coincides with the rational cuspidal divisor class group
%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
of the Drinfeld modular curve
%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
. Recently, we proved that for any prime-power ideal

of

, the prime-to-
%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
part of
%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
is equal to that of
%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
by studying the Hecke operators and the Eisenstein ideal of level

. Moreover, by relating the rational cuspidal divisors of degree

on
%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
with

-quotients, where

is the Drinfeld discriminant function, we are able to compute explicitly the structure of
%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
. As a result, the structure of the prime-to-
%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
part of
%24&chf=bg,s,333333&chco=ffffff)
is completely determined.
