✦ Synopsis


Let (k) be a global function field with constant field (\mathbb{F}{q}). Let (\infty) be a place of (k) and let (\mathbb{c}{k}) be the ring of functions regular outside of (\propto). Once a sign function has been chosen, one can define a discriminant function on the set of rank 1 Drinfeld (\mathfrak{O}_{k})-modules. In this paper, the connection between sign functions and discriminant functions is clarified. Moreover, building on previous work of Hayes, some arithmetic properties of exponential functions of rank 1 lattices are also presented. (i) 1994 Academic Press, Inc
