Abstract

In this paper, we study the Drinfeld modular curves X01(n) arising from the Hecke congruence subgroups of SL2(Fq[T]). By using a combinatorial method of Gekeler and Nonnengardt, we obtain a genus formula for these curves. Then, in cases when the genus of X01(n) is one, we compute the Weierstrass equation of the corresponding curve. Finally, we define and study the modular polynomial in this context, which gives a plane singular model of X01(n).
