Drinfeld modular forms of arbitrary rank, Part III: Examples

Abstract

This is the third part of a series of articles providing a foundation for the theory of Drinfeld modular forms of arbitrary rank. In the present article we construct and study some examples of Drinfeld modular forms. In particular we define Eisenstein series, as well as the action of Hecke operators upon them, coefficient forms and discriminant forms. In the special case A=F_q[t] we show that all modular forms for GL_r(\Gamma(t)) are generated by certain weight one Eisenstein series, and all modular forms for GL_r(A) and SL_r(A) are generated by certain coefficient forms and discriminant forms. We also compute the dimensions of the spaces of such modular forms.
