Sažetak
For every positive integer m, there is a unique Drinfeld modular function, holomorphic on the Drinfeld upper-half plane, j_m(z) with the 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 ­ for Gamma := GL2(F_q[T]) F := {; ; ; ; z in Omega ­ : |z| = inf {; ; ; ; |z - a| : a in F_q[T] >=1}; ; ; ; are on the unit circle |z| = 1. Moreover, if q is odd, the zeros are transcendental over F_q(T).
