Degrees of the norm and trace of the j-invariant of Drinfeld modules associated to hyperelliptic curves

Rank one Drinfeld modules are the analogue of elliptic curves with complex multiplication. The study of Drinfeld modules associated with hyperelliptic curves corresponds to the study of imaginary quadratic function fields. In this thesis, we give explicit formulas for the degree of the norm and trac...
