For example, "Fixes sagemath#12345". --> This pull request implements two new algorithms to compute the characteristic polynomial of the Frobenius endomorphism of a Drinfeld $\mathbb F_q[T]$-module over a finite field $K$. Previously, only the algorithms based on crystalline cohomology (see [Musleh-Schost 2023](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3597066.3597080)) or on Anderson motives (see [Caruso-Leudière 2023](https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.02879)) were implemented. We propose two new algorithms: - The algorithm based on central simple algebras described in Chapter 4 of [Caruso-Leudière 2023](https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.02879). - The algorithm described by Gekeler in [Gekeler 1991](https://www.scien cedirect.com/science/article/pii/002186939190211P). **Acknowledgement.** This implementation was originally due to @xcaruso (see [here](https://github.com/xcaruso/sage/blob/d2e36bd18b51c93806b7a3b 5c8261da7dc98c494/src/sage/rings/function_field/drinfeld_modules/finite_ drinfeld_module.py)), and after a private discussion, I took the liberty of creating this PR. I also propose to change the formula computed by `frobenius_norm`. Before, it computed $$(-1)^n \mathrm{N}_{K/\mathbb F_q}(\Delta) p^{n / \mathrm{deg}(p)},$$ where $K$ is the ground field, $n$ is the degree of $K$ over $\mathbb F_q$, and $p$ is the monic generator of the $\mathbb F_q[T]$-characteristic of $K$. The docstring claimed this was $(-1)^r$ times the constant coefficient of the characteristic polynomial of the Frobenius endomorphism, $r$ being the rank of the Drinfeld module. I believe this was a mistake, and instead changed the formula, following Theorem 4.2.7 of [Papikian's book](https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-19707-9), to $$(-1)^{nr - n - r} \mathrm{N}_{K/\mathbb F_q}(\Delta) p^{n / \mathrm{deg}(p)}.$$ P.S. @DavidAyotte, given that you now work in the industry, please tell us if you still want to be tagged on these Drinfeld module stuff. Same question for you @ymusleh given that you defended your thesis (congratulations!). ### 📝 Checklist <!-- Put an `x` in all the boxes that apply. --> - [X] The title is concise and informative. - [X] The description explains in detail what this PR is about. - [ ] I have linked a relevant issue or discussion. - [X] I have created tests covering the changes. - [X] I have updated the documentation and checked the documentation preview. <!-- List all open PRs that this PR logically depends on.
