Invitation to higher local fields, Part II, section 4: Drinfeld modules and local fields of positive characteristic

Abstract

This work is a survey of relations between Drinfeld modules and higher dimensional fields of positive characteristic. The main new result stated is the expression of vanishing orders of certain modular forms through partial zeta values.
