AbstractWe prove some new results on the arithmetic of abelian varieties over function fields of one variable over finitely generated (infinite) fields. Among other things, we introduce certain new natural objects “discrete Selmer groups” and “discrete Shafarevich–Tate groups”, and prove that they are finitely generated {\mathbb{Z}}-modules. Further, we prove that in the isotrivial case, the discrete Shafarevich–Tate group vanishes and the discrete Selmer group coincides with the Mordell–Weil group. One of the key ingredients to prove these results is a new specialisation theorem for first Galois cohomology groups, which generalises Néron’s specialisation theorem for rational points of abelian varieties.

In this paper, we formulate the Drinfeld module analogue of a question raised by Lang and studied by Katz on the existence of rational points on abelian varieties over number fields. Given a maximal ideal [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], the question essentially asks whether, up to isogeny, a Drinfeld module [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text] contains a rational [Formula: see text]-torsion point if the reduction of [Formula: see text] at almost all primes of [Formula: see text] contains a rational [Formula: see text]-torsion point. Similar to the case of abelian varieties, we show that the answer is positive if the rank of the Drinfeld module is 2, but negative if the rank is 3. Moreover, for rank 3 Drinfeld modules we classify those cases where the answer is positive.

We formulate and prove an analogue of the non-commutative Iwasawa Main Conjecture for [Formula: see text]-adic representations of the Galois group of a function field of characteristic [Formula: see text]. We also prove a functional equation for the resulting non-commutative [Formula: see text]-functions. As corollaries, we obtain non-commutative generalizations of the main conjecture for Picard-[Formula: see text]-motives of Greither and Popescu and a main conjecture for abelian varieties over function fields in precise analogy to the [Formula: see text] main conjecture of Coates, Fukaya, Kato, Sujatha and Venjakob.
