Let [Formula: see text] be an odd prime and [Formula: see text]. In the spirit of Artin’s conjecture, consider the system of two diagonal forms of degree [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] variables given by [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text]. For [Formula: see text], this paper shows that this system has a non-trivial [Formula: see text]-adic solution for every [Formula: see text], and for every [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text]. Moreover, for [Formula: see text], this system will have a non-trivial [Formula: see text]-adic solution for every [Formula: see text].

Let a be a natural number different from 0. In 1963, Linnik proved the following unconditional result about the Titchmarsh divisor problem [Formula: see text] where c is a constant dependent on a. Titchmarsh proved the above result assuming GRH for Dirichlet L-functions in 1931. We establish the following asymptotic relation: [Formula: see text] where Ck is a constant dependent on k and a, and the implied constant is dependent on k. We also apply it a question related to Artin's conjecture for primitive roots.

Abstract We describe a novel method for bounding the dimension $d$ of the largest simple Hecke submodule of $S_{2}(\Gamma _{0}(N);\mathbb{Q})$ from below. Such bounds are of interest because of their relevance to the structure of $J_{0}(N)$, for instance. In contrast with previous results of this kind, our bound does not rely on the equidistribution of Hecke eigenvalues. Instead, it is obtained via a Hecke-compatible congruence between the target space and a space of modular forms whose Hecke eigenvalues are easily controlled. We prove conditional bounds, the strongest of which is $d\gg _{\epsilon } N^{1/2-\epsilon }$ over a large set of primes $N$, contingent on Soundararajan’s heuristics for the class number problem and Artin’s conjecture on primitive roots. For prime levels $N\equiv 7\mod 8,$ our method yields an unconditional bound of $d\geq \log _{2}\log _{2}(\frac{N}{8})$, which is larger than the known bound of $d\gg \sqrt{\log \log N}$ due to Murty–Sinha and Royer. A stronger unconditional bound of $d\gg \log N$ can be obtained in more specialized (but infinitely many) cases. We also propose a number of Maeda-style conjectures based on our data, and we outline a possible congruence-based approach toward the conjectural Hecke simplicity of $S_{k}(\textrm{SL}_{2}(\mathbb{Z});\mathbb{Q})$.

AbstractLet k = Fq be a finite field of characteristic p with q elements and let K be a function field of one variable over k. Consider an elliptic curve E defined over K. We determine how often the reduction of this elliptic curve to a prime ideal is cyclic. This is done by generalizing a result of Bilharz to a more general form of Artin's primitive roots problem formulated by R. Murty.
