Ghioca, Dragos

Canadian mathematical bulletin, Tome 53 (2010) no. 1, pp. 95-101

Résumé

Let $\phi$ be a Drinfeld module of generic characteristic, and let $X$ be a sufficiently generic affine subvariety of $\mathbb{G}_{a}^{g}$ . We show that the intersection of $X$ with a finite rank $\phi$ -submodule of $\mathbb{G}_{a}^{g}$ is finite.
