Iwasawa Theory of Taelman Class Modules

Abstract:

Recently, Taelman defined a ``class module" associated to any Drinfeld module defined over a function field. In the spirit of Iwasawa theory, we will study the structure of these class modules in certain p-adic towers of fields. Using the Equivariant Tamagawa Number Formula for Drinfeld modules, we will propose an Iwasawa main conjecture for these class modules.
