Let r be a power of a prime number p, F r be the finite field of r elements, and F r [T] be the polynomial ring over F r . As an analogue to the Riemann zeta function over Z, Goss constructed the zeta function `Fr [T] (s) over F r [T]. In order to study this zeta function, Thakur calculated the divi

โฆ Synopsis
We compute explicitly the Selberg trace formula for principal congruence subgroups of PGL(2, F q [t]) which is the modular group in positive characteristic cases. We also express the Selberg zeta function as a determinant of the Laplacian which is composed of both discrete and continuous spectra. All factors are calculated explicitly, and they are rational functions in q &s .

## DEDICATED TO PROFESSOR CHAO KO ON THE OCCASION OF HIS 90TH BIRTHDAY Motivated by arithmetic applications, we introduce the notion of a partial zeta function which generalizes the classical zeta function of an algebraic variety de"ned over a "nite "eld. We then explain two approaches to the gene
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 define analogues of higher derivatives for F q -linear functions over the field of formal Laurent series with coefficients in F q . This results in a formula for Taylor coefficients of a F q -linear holomorphic function, a definition of classes of F q -linear smooth functions which are characteri
