Drinfeld singular moduli, hyperbolas, units

Let $q\geq2$ be a prime power and consider Drinfeld modules of rank 2 over $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$. We prove that there are no points with coordinates being Drinfeld singular moduli, on a family of hyperbolas $XY=\gamma$, where $\gamma$ is a polynomial of small degree. This is an effective Andr\'e-Oort theorem for these curves. We also prove that there are at most finitely many Drinfeld singular moduli that are algebraic units, for every fixed $q\geq2$, and we give an effective bound on the discriminant of such singular moduli. We give in an appendix an inseparability criterion for values of some classical modular forms, generalising an argument used in the proof of our first result.

Elliptic logarithms, diophantine approximation and the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture

Most, if not all, unconditional results towards the abc-conjecture rely ultimately on classical Baker's method. In this article, we turn our attention to its elliptic analogue. Using the elliptic Baker's method, we have recently obtained a new upper bound for the height of the S-integral points on an elliptic curve. This bound depends on some parameters related to the Mordell-Weil group of the curve. We deduce here a bound relying on the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer, involving classical, more manageable quantities. We then study which abc-type inequality over number fields could be derived from this elliptic approach.

Upper bound for the height of S-integral points on elliptic curves

We establish new upper bounds for the height of the S-integral points of an elliptic curve. This bound is explicitly given in terms of the set S of places of the number field K involved, but also in terms of the degree of K, as well as the rank, the regulator and the height of a basis of the Mordell-Weil group of the curve. The proof uses the elliptic analogue of Baker's method, based on lower bounds for linear forms in elliptic logarithms.

Drinfeld $A$-quasi-modular forms

The aim of this article is twofold: first, improve the multiplicity estimate obtained by the second author for Drinfeld quasi-modular forms; and then, study the structure of certain algebras of "almost-$A$-quasi-modular forms"

On certain families of Drinfeld quasi-modular forms

The aim of this paper is to describe some partial advances in the solution of the following two problems. Find the maximal order of vanishing at infinity of a non-zero Drinfeld quasi-modular form of given weight. Determine differential properties of a Drinfeld quasi-modular form of given weight and depth with maximal order of vanishing at infinity.

Hyperdifferential properties of Drinfeld quasi-modular forms

This article is divided in two parts. In the first part we endow a certain ring of ``Drinfeld quasi-modular forms'' for $\GL_2(\FF_q[T])$ (where $q$ is a power of a prime) with a system of "divided derivatives" (or hyperderivations). This ring contains Drinfeld modular forms as defined by Gekeler in \cite{Ge}, and the hyperdifferential ring obtained should be considered as a close analogue in positive characteristic of famous Ramanujan's differential system relating to the first derivatives of the classical Eisenstein series of weights 2, 4 and 6. In the second part of this article we prove that, when $q\not=2,3$, if ${\cal P}$ is a non-zero hyperdifferential prime ideal, then it contains the Poincaré series $h=P_{q+1,1}$ of \cite{Ge}. This last result is the analogue of a crucial property proved by Nesterenko \cite{Nes} in characteristic zero in order to establish a multiplicity estimate.
