The Arithmetic of Function Fields: Proceedings of the Workshop at the Ohio State University, June 17-26, 1991 - 2 (Reprint 2011.)

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 introduces the modules, their use in explicit class fi
