On periods of 1st, 2nd and 3rd kinds for Drinfeld modules of rank 2

101 , Mathematics Research Center Building (ori. New Math. Bldg.)



We introduce a notion of periods of 3rd kind for Drinfeld modules of rank 2 and derive explicit formulae for them. By using motivic transcendence theory, we completely determine all the algebraic relations among the periods of 1st, 2nd and 3rd kinds in odd characteristic.
