โฆ Synopsis
For every positive integer m, there is a unique Drinfeld modular function, holomorphic on the Drinfeld upper-half plane, j m (z) with the following t-expansion
These functions are analogs of certain modular functions from the classical theory that have many fascinating properties. For example, they are used to prove the famous denominator formula for the Monster Lie algebra. Here we prove that (as in the classical case) the zeros of j m (z) in the fundamental domain F of the Drinfeld upper-half plane ฮฉ for ฮ := GL 2 (F q [T ])
1 , are on the unit circle |z| = 1. Moreover, if q is odd, the zeros are transcendental over F q (T ).

In this work we find a uniformizer m of the Drinfeld modular curve X 0 (T) and prove that singular values of m generate ring class fields over an imaginary quadratic field.
By relating the problem to the study of the number of zeros of certain wronskian determinants, estimates are found for the number of zeros on the real line of functions of a certain class. This class is instanced by functions of the shape m Z Pt(@ exp Qd-4 k=l where the Pa, QI~ are polynomials and t
Let A=F q [T ] be the polynomial ring over the finite field F q of q elements. D. Goss remarks in [13, (2.1)] that the algebra of (Drinfeld ) modular forms for GL(2, A) is the free ring generated by the two Eisenstein series of weights q&1 and q 2 &1. For a more general congruence subgroup, an abstr
