Explicit statement of a conjecture on resultantal varieties

The paper [GLZ] "L-functions of Carlitz modules, resultantal varieties and rooted binary trees" is devoted to a description of some resultantal varieties related to L-functions of Carlitz modules. It contains a conjecture that some of these varieties coincide. This conjecture can be formulated in terms of polynomials, namely, in terms of a fact that an explicitly defined polynomial belongs to the radical of the ideal generated by some other polynomials. We give an explicit statement of this conjecture and a numerical result.

Calculation of $h^1$ of some Anderson t-motives

We consider Anderson t-motives $M$ of dimension 2 and rank 4 defined by some simple explicit equations parameterized by $2\times2$ matrices. We use methods of explicit calculation of $h^1(M)$ -- the dimension of their cohomology group $H^1(M)$ ( = the dimension of the lattice of their dual t-motive $M'$) developed in our earlier paper. We calculate $h^1(M)$ for $M$ defined by all matrices having 0 on the diagonal, and by some other matrices. These methods permit to make analogous calculations for most (probably all) t-motives. $h^1$ of all Anderson t-motives $M$ under consideration satisfy the inequality $h^1(M)\le4$, while in all known examples we have $h^1(M)=0,1,4$. Do exist $M$ of this type having $h^1=2,3$? We do not know, this is a subject of further research.
