Power series expansions of modular forms and p-adic interpolation of the square roots of Rankin–Selberg special values

Let [Formula: see text] be a newform of even weight [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a possibly split indefinite quaternion algebra over [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be a quadratic imaginary field splitting [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] an odd prime split in [Formula: see text]. We extend our theory of [Formula: see text]-adic measures attached to the power series expansions of [Formula: see text] around the Galois orbit of the CM point corresponding to an embedding [Formula: see text] to forms with any nebentypus and to [Formula: see text] dividing the level of [Formula: see text]. For the latter we restrict our considerations to CM points corresponding to test objects endowed with an arithmetic [Formula: see text]-level structure. Also, we restrict these [Formula: see text]-adic measures to [Formula: see text] and compute the corresponding Euler factor in the formula for the [Formula: see text]-adic interpolation of the “square roots”of the Rankin–Selberg special values [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the base change to [Formula: see text] of the automorphic representation of [Formula: see text] associated, up to Jacquet-Langland correspondence, to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a compatible family of grössencharacters of [Formula: see text] with infinite type [Formula: see text].

New Zero-Density Results for Automorphic L-Functions of GL(n)

Let L(s,π) be an automorphic L-function of GL(n), where π is an automorphic representation of group GL(n) over rational number field Q. In this paper, we study the zero-density estimates for L(s,π). Define Nπ(σ,T1,T2) = ♯ {ρ = β + iγ: L(ρ,π) = 0, σ<β<1, T1≤γ≤T2}, where 0≤σ<1 and T1<T2. We first establish an upper bound for Nπ(σ,T,2T) when σ is close to 1. Then we restrict the imaginary part γ into a narrow strip [T,T+Tα] with 0<α≤1 and prove some new zero-density results on Nπ(σ,T,T+Tα) under specific conditions, which improves previous results when σ near 34 and 1, respectively. The proofs rely on the zero detecting method and the Halász-Montgomery method.

Fourier coefficients of minimal and next-to-minimal automorphic representations of simply-laced groups

In this paper, we analyze Fourier coefficients of automorphic forms on a finite cover G of an adelic split simply-laced group. Let $\pi $ be a minimal or next-to-minimal automorphic representation of G. We prove that any $\eta \in \pi $ is completely determined by its Whittaker coefficients with respect to (possibly degenerate) characters of the unipotent radical of a fixed Borel subgroup, analogously to the Piatetski-Shapiro–Shalika formula for cusp forms on $\operatorname {GL}_n$ . We also derive explicit formulas expressing the form, as well as all its maximal parabolic Fourier coefficient, in terms of these Whittaker coefficients. A consequence of our results is the nonexistence of cusp forms in the minimal and next-to-minimal automorphic spectrum. We provide detailed examples for G of type $D_5$ and $E_8$ with a view toward applications to scattering amplitudes in string theory.

PERIOD IDENTITIES OF CM FORMS ON QUATERNION ALGEBRAS

Waldspurger’s formula gives an identity between the norm of a torus period and an $L$ -function of the twist of an automorphic representation on GL(2). For any two Hecke characters of a fixed quadratic extension, one can consider the two torus periods coming from integrating one character against the automorphic induction of the other. Because the corresponding $L$ -functions agree, (the norms of) these periods—which occur on different quaternion algebras—are closely related. In this paper, we give a direct proof of an explicit identity between the torus periods themselves.

Adjoint L-Functions for GL(3) and U2,1

We show that the finite part of the adjoint $L$-function (including contributions from all non-archimedean places, including ramified places) is holomorphic in ${\textrm{Re}}(s) \ge 1/2$ for a cuspidal automorphic representation of ${\textrm{GL}}_3$ over a number field. This improves the main result of [21]. We obtain more general results for twisted adjoint $L$-functions of both ${\textrm{GL}}_3$ and quasisplit unitary groups. For unitary groups, we explicate the relationship between poles of twisted adjoint $L$-functions, endoscopy, and the structure of the stable base change lifting.

Simple zeros of automorphic -functions

We prove that the complete $L$-function associated to any cuspidal automorphic representation of $\operatorname{GL}_{2}(\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}})$ has infinitely many simple zeros.

Best possible rates of distribution of dense lattice orbits in homogeneous spaces

This paper establishes upper and lower bounds on the speed of approximation in a wide range of natural Diophantine approximation problems. The upper and lower bounds coincide in many cases, giving rise to optimal results in Diophantine approximation which were inaccessible previously. Our approach proceeds by establishing, more generally, upper and lower bounds for the rate of distribution of dense orbits of a lattice subgroup Γ in a connected Lie (or algebraic) group G, acting on suitable homogeneous spaces G/H. The upper bound is derived using a quantitative duality principle for homogeneous spaces, reducing it to a rate of convergence in the mean ergodic theorem for a family of averaging operators supported on H and acting on G/Γ. In particular, the quality of the upper bound on the rate of distribution we obtain is determined explicitly by the spectrum of H in the automorphic representation on L^{2} (Γ \setminus G). We show that the rate is best possible when the representation in question is tempered, and show that the latter condition holds in a wide range of examples.

Transfer to Characteristic Zero of the Jacquet–Mao’s Metaplectic Fundamental Lemma

Jacquet conjectured that globally a cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{G}\mathrm{L}_r$ should be in the image of the metaplectic correspondence precisely when it is distinguished with respect to a split orthogonal similitude group. Jacquet–Mao have suggested an approach to solve this problem by using “relative” traces formula. One of the steps of this approach is the Jacquet–Mao’s metaplectic fundamental lemma. The author proved this fundamental lemma for any $r$ in the case of positive characteristic. The aim of this paper is to extend this result to the more general case.
