Drinfeld Modules of Rank 1

Using narrow ray class extensions obtained from Drinfelʹd modules of rank 1, new algebraic function fields can be constructed. These methods are developed in [1], yielding new fields over ℤ₂ (and some over ℤ₃). In [2], similar methods are used for obtaining new fields over F₄ (and one example over F₈). In [3], [2, Theorem 3] is used for constructing fields over F₉ and F₂₇. The methods presented in [4] lead to fields over F₄, F₈, F₉, F₁₆, and F₂₇.
