dc.description.abstract | ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis deals with a function eld analog of the André-Oort conjecture. The (classical) André-Oort conjecture concerns the distribution of special points on Shimura varieties. In our case we consider the André-Oort conjecture for special points in the product of Drinfeld modular varieties. We in particular manage to prove the André- Oort conjecture for subvarieties in a product of two Drinfeld modular surfaces under a characteristic assumption. | en_ZA |

Die (Klassieke) André-Oort Vermoeding het betrekking tot die verspreiding van spesiale punte op Shimura varietiete. Ons geval beskou ons die André-Oort Vermoeding vir spesiale punte op die produk Drinfeldse modulvarietiete. In die besonders, bewys ons die André-Oort Vermoeding vir ondervarieteite van 'n produk van twee Drinfeldse modulvarietiete, onderhewig aan 'n karakteristiek-aanname. | af_ZA |
