Atkin-Lehner theory for Drinfeld modular forms and applications
The present paper deals with Atkin-Lehner theory for Drinfeld modular forms. We provide an equivalent definition of $\mathfrak{p}$-newforms (which makes computations easier) and commutativity results between Hecke operators and Atkin-Lehner involutions. As applications we show a criterion for a direct sum decomposition of cusp forms, we exibit $\mathfrak{p}$-newforms arising from lower levels and we provide $\mathfrak{p}$-adic Drinfeld modular forms of level greater than 1.
