We show that the prime divisors of a random polynomial in 𝔽q[t] are typically "Poisson distributed". This result is analogous to the result in ℤ of Granville [1]. Along the way, we use a sieve developed by Granville and Soundararajan [2] to give a simple proof of the Erdös–Kac theorem in the function field setting. This approach gives stronger results about the moments of the sequence {ω(f)}f∈𝔽q[t] than was previously known, where ω(f) is the number of prime divisors of f.

In this paper, we investigate the existence of large values of [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] varies over non-principal characters associated to prime polynomials [Formula: see text] over finite field [Formula: see text], as [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]. When [Formula: see text], we provide a lower bound for the number of such characters. To do this, we adapt the resonance method to the function field setting. We also investigate this problem for [Formula: see text], where now [Formula: see text] varies over even, non-principal, Dirichlet characters associated to prime polynomials [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text], as [Formula: see text]. In addition to resonance method, in this case, we use an adaptation of Gál-type sums estimate.

This introductory chapter sets out the book's purpose, which is to study Weil's conjecture over function fields: that is, fields K which arise as rational functions on an algebraic curve X over a finite field F q. It reformulates Weil's conjecture as a mass formula, which counts the number of principal G-bundles over the algebraic curve X. An essential feature of the function field setting is that the objects that we want to count (in this case, principal G-bundles) admit a “geometric” parametrization: they can be identified with Fq-valued points of an algebraic stack BunG(X). This observation is used to reformulate Weil's conjecture yet again: it essentially reduces to a statement about the ℓ-adic cohomolog of BunG(X), reflecting the heuristic idea that it should admit a “continuous Künneth decomposition”.

Abstract Let $ (G_n)_{n=0}^{\infty } $ be a nondegenerate linear recurrence sequence whose power sum representation is given by $ G_n = a_1(n) \alpha _1^n + \cdots + a_t(n) \alpha _t^n $ . We prove a function field analogue of the well-known result in the number field case that, under some nonrestrictive conditions, $ |{G_n}| \geq ( \max _{j=1,\ldots ,t} |{\alpha _j}| )^{n(1-\varepsilon )} $ for $ n $ large enough.

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. Let K/k be a function field of one variable and L/K be an unramified separable abelian extension of degree pr over K. The galois automorphisms ε1, …, εpr of L/K are naturally extended to automorphisms η(ε1), … , η(εpr) of the jacobian variety JL of L/k. If we take a svstem of p-adic coordinates on JL, we get a representation {Mp(η(εv))} of the galois group G(L/K) of L/K over p-adic integers.

AbstractLetE/kbe a function field over an infinite field of constants. Assume thatE/k(x) is a separable extension of degree greater than one such that there exists a place of degree one ofk(x) ramified inE. LetK/kbe a function field. We prove that there exist infinitely many nonisomorphic separable extensionsL/Ksuch that [L:K]=[E:k(x)] andAutkL=AutKL≅Autk(x)E.

AbstractLet k = Fq be a finite field of characteristic p with q elements and let K be a function field of one variable over k. Consider an elliptic curve E defined over K. We determine how often the reduction of this elliptic curve to a prime ideal is cyclic. This is done by generalizing a result of Bilharz to a more general form of Artin's primitive roots problem formulated by R. Murty.
