A computational approach to Drinfeld modules prépublication, 74 pages This survey provides a practical and algorithmic perspective on Drinfeld modules over $\mathbb F_q[T]$. Starting with the construction of the Carlitz module, we present Drinfeld modules in any rank and some of their arithmetic properties. We emphasise the analogies with elliptic curves, and in the meantime, we also highlight key differences such as their rank structure and their associated Anderson motives. This document is designed for researchers in number theory, arithmetic geometry, algorithmic number theory, cryptography, or computer algebra, offering tools and insights to navigate the computational aspects of Drinfeld modules effectively. We include detailed SageMath implementations to illustrate explicit computations and facilitate experimentation. Applications to polynomial factorisation, isogeny computations, cryptographic constructions, and coding theory are also presented. Try out our implementation on plmbinder. |

Wieferich primes for Drinfeld modules prépublication, 32 pages The aim of this paper is to discuss the notion of Wieferich primes in the context of Drinfeld modules. Our main result is a surprising connection between the proprety of a monic irreducible polynomial $\mathfrak p$ to be Wieferich and the $\mathfrak p$-adic valuation of special $L$-values of Drinfeld modules. This generalizes a theorem of Thakur for the Carlitz module. We also study statistical distributions of Wieferich primes, proving in particular that a place of degree $d$ is Wieferich with the expected probability $q^{-d}$ when we average over large enough sets of Drinfeld modules. |

Algorithms for computing norms and characteristic polynomials on general Drinfeld modules Math. Comp. 95 (2026), 415–455 We provide two families of algorithms to compute characteristic polynomials of endomorphisms and norms of isogenies of Drinfeld modules. Our algorithms work for Drinfeld modules of any rank, defined over any base curve. When the base curve is $\mathbb P^1_{\mathbb F_q}$, we do a thorough study of the complexity, demonstrating that our algorithms are, in many cases, the most asymptotically performant. The first family of algorithms relies on the correspondence between Drinfeld modules and Anderson motives, reducing the computation to linear algebra over a polynomial ring. The second family, available only for the Frobenius endomorphism, is based on a new formula expressing the characteristic polynomial of the Frobenius as a reduced norm in a central simple algebra. |

Computation of classical and $v$-adic $L$-series of $t$-motives Res. Number Theory (2025), 11–35 We design an algorithm for computing the $L$-series associated to an Anderson $t$-motives, exhibiting quasilinear complexity with respect to the target precision. Based on experiments, we conjecture that the order of vanishing at $T=1$ of the $v$-adic $L$-series of a given Anderson $t$-motive with good reduction does not depend on the finite place $v$. |
