Download or read book Compactification of the Drinfeld Modular Surfaces written by Thomas Lehmkuhl and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2009-01-21 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this article the author describes in detail a compactification of the moduli schemes representing Drinfeld modules of rank 2 endowed with some level structure. The boundary is a union of copies of moduli schemes for Drinfeld modules of rank 1, and its points are interpreted as Tate data. The author also studies infinitesimal deformations of Drinfeld modules with level structure.
