We consider the problem of defining an action of Hecke operators on the coherent cohomology of certain integral models of Shimura varieties. We formulate a general conjecture describing which Hecke operators should act integrally and solve the conjecture in certain cases. As a consequence, we obtain p-adic estimates of Satake parameters of certain nonregular self-dual automorphic representations of $\mathrm {GL}_n$.

For a unitary unramified genuine principal series representation of a covering group, we study the associated R-group. We prove a formula relating the R-group to the dimension of the Whittaker space for the irreducible constituents of such a principal series representation. Moreover, for certain saturated covers of a semisimple simply connected group, we also propose a simpler conjectural formula for such dimensions. This latter conjectural formula is verified in several cases, including covers of the symplectic groups.

We prove that if F is a nonzero (possibly noncuspidal) vector-valued Siegel modular form of any degree, then it has infinitely many nonzero Fourier coefficients which are indexed by half-integral matrices having odd, square-free (and thus fundamental) discriminant. The proof uses an induction argument in the setting of vector-valued modular forms. Further, as an application of a variant of our result and complementing the work of A. Pollack, we show how to obtain an unconditional proof of the functional equation of the spinor L-function of a holomorphic cuspidal Siegel eigenform of degree $3$ and level $1$.

We prove a functional equation for a vector valued real analytic Eisenstein series transforming with the Weil representation of $\operatorname{Sp}(n,\mathbb{Z})$ on $\mathbb{C}[(L^{\prime }/L)^{n}]$ . By relating such an Eisenstein series with a real analytic Jacobi Eisenstein series of degree $n$ , a functional equation for such an Eisenstein series is proved. Employing a doubling method for Jacobi forms of higher degree established by Arakawa, we transfer the aforementioned functional equation to a zeta function defined by the eigenvalues of a Jacobi eigenform. Finally, we obtain the analytic continuation and a functional equation of the standard $L$ -function attached to a Jacobi eigenform, which was already proved by Murase, however in a different way.

Eigenfunctions of the Fourier transform with prescribed zeros played a major role in the proof that the E8 and the Leech lattice give the best sphere packings in respective dimensions 8 and 24 by Cohn, Kumar, Miller, Radchenko and Viazovska. The functions used for a linear programming argument were constructed as Laplace transforms of certain modular and quasimodular forms. Similar constructions were used by Cohn and Gonçalves to find a function satisfying an optimal uncertainty principle in dimension 12. This paper gives a unified view on these constructions and develops the machinery to find the underlying forms in all dimensions divisible by 4. Furthermore, the positivity of the Fourier coefficients of the quasimodular forms occurring in this context is discussed.

La formule des traces relative de Jacquet–Rallis (pour les groupes unitaires ou les groupes linéaires généraux) est une identité entre des périodes des représentations automorphes et des distributions géométriques. Selon Jacquet et Rallis, une comparaison de ces deux formules des traces relatives devrait aboutir à une démonstration des conjectures de Gan–Gross–Prasad et Ichino–Ikeda pour les groupes unitaires. Les termes géométriques des groupes unitaires ou des groupes linéaires sont indexés par les points rationnels d'un espace quotient commun. Nous établissons que ces termes géométriques peuvent être vus comme des fonctionnelles sur des espaces d'intégrales orbitales semi-simples régulières locales. En outre, nous montrons que point par point ces distributions sont en fait égales, via l'identification des espaces d'intégrales orbitales locales donnée par le transfert et le lemme fondamental (essentiellement connus dans cette situation). Cela donne leur comparaison et cela clôt la partie géométrique du programme de Jacquet–Rallis. Notre résultat principal est donc un analogue de la stabilisation de la partie géométrique de la formule des traces due à Langlands, Kottwitz et Arthur.

A key ingredient in the Taylor–Wiles proof of Fermat’s last theorem is the classical Ihara lemma, which is used to raise the modularity property between some congruent Galois representations. In their work on Sato and Tate, Clozel, Harris and Taylor proposed a generalisation of the Ihara lemma in higher dimension for some similitude groups. The main aim of this paper is to prove some new instances of this generalised Ihara lemma by considering some particular non-pseudo-Eisenstein maximal ideals of unramified Hecke algebras. As a consequence, we prove a level-raising statement.

We study the l-adic cohomology of unramified Rapoport–Zink spaces of EL-type. These spaces were used in Harris and Taylor's proof of the local Langlands correspondence for $\mathrm {GL_n}$ and to show local–global compatibilities of the Langlands correspondence. In this paper we consider certain morphisms $\mathrm {Mant}_{b, \mu }$ of Grothendieck groups of representations constructed from the cohomology of these spaces, as studied by Harris and Taylor, Mantovan, Fargues, Shin and others. Due to earlier work of Fargues and Shin we have a description of $\mathrm {Mant}_{b, \mu }(\rho )$ for $\rho $ a supercuspidal representation. In this paper, we give a conjectural formula for $\mathrm {Mant}_{b, \mu }(\rho )$ for $\rho $ an admissible representation and prove it when $\rho $ is essentially square-integrable. Our proof works for general $\rho $ conditionally on a conjecture appearing in Shin's work. We show that our description agrees with a conjecture of Harris in the case of parabolic inductions of supercuspidal representations of a Levi subgroup.

Lapid and Mao formulated a conjecture on an explicit formula of Whittaker–Fourier coefficients of automorphic forms on quasi-split reductive groups and metaplectic groups as an analogue of the Ichino–Ikeda conjecture. They also showed that this conjecture is reduced to a certain local identity in the case of unitary groups. In this article, we study the even unitary-group case. Indeed, we prove this local identity over p-adic fields. Further, we prove an equivalence between this local identity and a refined formal degree conjecture over any local field of characteristic zero. As a consequence, we prove a refined formal degree conjecture over p-adic fields and get an explicit formula of Whittaker–Fourier coefficients under certain assumptions.

We prove a conjecture of Maulik, Pandharipande and Thomas expressing the Gromov–Witten invariants of K3 surfaces for divisibility 2 curve classes in all genera in terms of weakly holomorphic quasi-modular forms of level 2. Then we establish the holomorphic anomaly equation in divisibility 2 in all genera. Our approach involves a refined boundary induction, relying on the top tautological group of the moduli space of smooth curves, together with a degeneration formula for the reduced virtual fundamental class with imprimitive curve classes. We use double ramification relations with target variety as a new tool to prove the initial condition. The relationship between the holomorphic anomaly equation for higher divisibility and the conjectural multiple cover formula of Oberdieck and Pandharipande is discussed in detail and illustrated with several examples.

We construct a $(\mathfrak {gl}_2, B(\mathbb {Q}_p))$ and Hecke-equivariant cup product pairing between overconvergent modular forms and the local cohomology at $0$ of a sheaf on $\mathbb {P}^1$, landing in the compactly supported completed $\mathbb {C}_p$-cohomology of the modular curve. The local cohomology group is a highest-weight Verma module, and the cup product is non-trivial on a highest-weight vector for any overconvergent modular form of infinitesimal weight not equal to $1$. For classical weight $k\geq 2$, the Verma has an algebraic quotient $H^1(\mathbb {P}^1, \mathcal {O}(-k))$, and on classical forms, the pairing factors through this quotient, giving a geometric description of ‘half’ of the locally algebraic vectors in completed cohomology; the other half is described by a pairing with the roles of $H^1$ and $H^0$ reversed between the modular curve and $\mathbb {P}^1$. Under minor assumptions, we deduce a conjecture of Gouvea on the Hodge-Tate-Sen weights of Galois representations attached to overconvergent modular forms. Our main results are essentially a strict subset of those obtained independently by Lue Pan, but the perspective here is different, and the proofs are short and use simple tools: a Mayer-Vietoris cover, a cup product, and a boundary map in group cohomology.

Given a closed geodesic on a compact arithmetic hyperbolic surface, we show the existence of a sequence of Laplacian eigenfunctions whose integrals along the geodesic exhibit nontrivial growth. Via Waldspurger’s formula we deduce a lower bound for central values of Rankin-Selberg L-functions of Maass forms times theta series associated to real quadratic fields.

In [5], Chen and Yui conjectured that Gross–Zagier type formulas may also exist for Thompson series. In this work, we verify Chen and Yui’s conjecture for the cases for Thompson series $j_{p}(\tau )$ for $\Gamma _{0}(p)$ for p prime, and equivalently establish formulas for the prime decomposition of the resultants of two ring class polynomials associated to $j_{p}(\tau )$ and imaginary quadratic fields and the prime decomposition of the discriminant of a ring class polynomial associated to $j_{p}(\tau )$ and an imaginary quadratic field. Our method for tackling Chen and Yui’s conjecture on resultants can be used to give a different proof to a recent result of Yang and Yin. In addition, as an implication, we verify a conjecture recently raised by Yang, Yin, and Yu.

The principal aim of this article is to attach and study $p$-adic $L$-functions to cohomological cuspidal automorphic representations $\Pi$ of $\operatorname {GL}_{2n}$ over a totally real field $F$ admitting a Shalika model. We use a modular symbol approach, along the global lines of the work of Ash and Ginzburg, but our results are more definitive because we draw heavily upon the methods used in the recent and separate works of all three authors. By construction, our $p$-adic $L$-functions are distributions on the Galois group of the maximal abelian extension of $F$ unramified outside $p\infty$. Moreover, we work under a weaker Panchishkine-type condition on $\Pi _p$ rather than the full ordinariness condition. Finally, we prove the so-called Manin relations between the $p$-adic $L$-functions at all critical points. This has the striking consequence that, given a unitary $\Pi$ whose standard $L$-function admits at least two critical points, and given a prime $p$ such that $\Pi _p$ is ordinary, the central critical value $L(\frac {1}{2}, \Pi \otimes \chi )$ is non-zero for all except finitely many Dirichlet characters $\chi$ of $p$-power conductor.

We prove a theorem describing the limiting fine-scale statistics of orbits of a point in hyperbolic space under the action of a discrete subgroup. Similar results have been proved only in the lattice case with two recent infinite-volume exceptions by Zhang for Apollonian circle packings and certain Schottky groups. Our results hold for general Zariski dense, non-elementary, geometrically finite subgroups in any dimension. Unlike in the lattice case orbits of geometrically finite subgroups do not necessarily equidistribute on the whole boundary of hyperbolic space. But rather they may equidistribute on a fractal subset. Understanding the behavior of these orbits near the boundary is central to Patterson–Sullivan theory and much further work. Our theorem characterises the higher order spatial statistics and thus addresses a very natural question. As a motivating example our work applies to sphere packings (in any dimension) which are invariant under the action of such discrete subgroups. At the end of the paper we show how this statistical characterization can be used to prove convergence of moments and to write down the limiting formula for the two-point correlation function and nearest neighbor distribution. Moreover we establish a formula for the 2 dimensional limiting gap distribution (and cumulative gap distribution) which also applies in the lattice case.

We revisit the paper [Automorphy lifting for residually reducible $l$-adic Galois representations, J. Amer. Math. Soc. 28 (2015), 785–870] by the third author. We prove new automorphy lifting theorems for residually reducible Galois representations of unitary type in which the residual representation is permitted to have an arbitrary number of irreducible constituents.

We improve upon the local bound in the depth aspect for sup-norms of newforms on $D^\times$, where $D$ is an indefinite quaternion division algebra over ${\mathbb {Q}}$. Our sup-norm bound implies a depth-aspect subconvexity bound for $L(1/2, f \times \theta _\chi )$, where $f$ is a (varying) newform on $D^\times$ of level $p^n$, and $\theta _\chi$ is an (essentially fixed) automorphic form on $\textrm {GL}_2$ obtained as the theta lift of a Hecke character $\chi$ on a quadratic field. For the proof, we augment the amplification method with a novel filtration argument and a recent counting result proved by the second-named author to reduce to showing strong quantitative decay of matrix coefficients of local newvectors along compact subsets, which we establish via $p$-adic stationary phase analysis. Furthermore, we prove a general upper bound in the level aspect for sup-norms of automorphic forms belonging to any family whose associated matrix coefficients have such a decay property.

This paper generalizes the Gan–Gross–Prasad (GGP) conjectures that were earlier formulated for tempered or more generally generic L-packets to Arthur packets, especially for the non-generic L-packets arising from Arthur parameters. The paper introduces the key notion of a relevant pair of Arthur parameters that governs the branching laws for ${{\rm GL}}_n$ and all classical groups over both local fields and global fields. It plays a role for all the branching problems studied in Gan et al. [Symplectic local root numbers, central critical L-values and restriction problems in the representation theory of classical groups. Sur les conjectures de Gross et Prasad. I, Astérisque 346 (2012), 1–109] including Bessel models and Fourier–Jacobi models.

We consider autocorrelation functions for supersymmetric quantum mechanical systems (consisting of a fermion and a boson) confined in trigonometric Pöschl–Teller partner potentials. We study the limit of rescaled autocorrelation functions (at random time) as the localization of the initial state goes to infinity. The limiting distribution can be described using pairs of Jacobi theta functions on a suitably defined homogeneous space, as a corollary of the work of Cellarosi and Marklof. A construction by Contreras-Astorga and Fernández provides large classes of Pöschl-Teller partner potentials to which our analysis applies.

We find and prove a class of congruences modulo 4 for eta-products associated with certain ternary quadratic forms. This study was inspired by similar conjectured congruences modulo 4 for certain mock theta functions.
