    Abstract

    This is the latest part of an ongoing project aimed at extending algebraic
    properties of the classical modular group SL_2(Z) to equivalent groups in the
    theory of Drinfeld modules. We are especially interested in those properties
    which are important in the classical theory of modular forms. Our results are
    intended to be applicable to the theory of Drinfeld modular curves and forms.

  2. Nonrational genus zero function fields and the Bruhat-Tits tree.

    Abstract

    Let K be a function field with constant field k and let "infinity" be a fixed
    place of K. Let C be the Dedekind domain consisting of all those elements of K
    which are integral outside "infinity". The group G=GL_2(C) is important for a
    number of reasons. For example, when k is finite, it plays a central role in
    the theory of Drinfeld modular curves. Many properties follow from the action
    of G on its associated Bruhat-Tits tree, T. Classical Bass-Serre theory shows
    how a presentation for G can be derived from the structure of the quotient
    graph (or fundamental domain) G\T.
