Abstract

Let k be a global function field over a finite field and let A be the ring of the elements in k regular outside a fixed place ∞. Let K be a global A-field of finite A-characteristic and let ϕ be a rank one Drinfeld A-module over K. Given any α∈K, we show that the set of places P of K for which α is a primitive root modulo P under the action of ϕ possesses a Dirichlet density. We also give conditions for this density to be positive.
