In this paper we construct a noncommutative space of "pointed Drinfeld modules" that generalizes to the case of function fields the noncommutative spaces of commensurability classes of Q-lattices. It extends the usual moduli spaces of Drinfeld modules to possibly degenerate level structures. In the second part of the paper we develop some notions of quantum statistical mechanics in positive characteristic and we show that, in the case of Drinfeld modules of rank one, there is a natural time evolution on the associated noncommutative space, which is closely related to the positive characteristic L-functions introduced by Goss. The points of the usual moduli space of Drinfeld modules define KMS functionals for this time evolution. We also show that the scaling action on the dual system is induced by a Frobenius action, up to a Wick rotation to imaginary time.

If P is an irreducible element of a polynomial ring over a finite field, then one can define a Fermat quotient function associated to P. This is the direct analog of the traditional Fermat quotient function defined over the rational numbers using Fermat's ''little'' theorem. This paper provides answ
We show that Diophantine problem (otherwise known as Hilbert's Tenth Problem) is undecidable over the fields of algebraic functions over the finite fields of constants of characteristic greater than two. This is the first example of Diophantine undecidability over any algebraic field. We also show t
