    Abstract

    Beilinson obtained a formula relating the special value of the L-function of
    H^2 of a product of modular curves to the regulator of an element of a motivic
    cohomology group - thus providing evidence for his general conjectures on
    special values of L-functions. In this paper we prove a similar formula for the
    L-function of the product of two Drinfeld modular curves providing evidence for
    an analogous conjecture in the case of function fields.

  2. Higher order modular forms and mixed Hodge theory.

    Abstract

    In this paper we introduce a certain space of higher order modular forms of
    weight 0 and show that it has a Hodge structure coming from the geometry of the
    fundamental group of a modular curve. This generalizes the usual structure on
    classical weight 2 forms coming from the cohomology of the modular curve.
    Further we construct some higher order Poincare series to get higher order
    higher weight forms and using them we define a space of higher weight, higher
    order forms which has a mixed Hodge structure as well.
