Test vectors for trilinear forms, when two representations are unramified and one is special

Abstract

Let F be a finite extension of Qp and G be GL(2,F). When V is the tensor product of three admissible, irreducible, finite dimensional representations of G, the space of G-invariant linear forms has dimension at most one. When a non zero linear form exists, one wants to find an element of V which is not in its kernel: this is a test vector. Gross and Prasad found explicit test vectors for some triple of representations. In this paper, others are found, and they almost complete the case when the conductor of each representation is at most 1.

An explicit type number formula for quaternion orders of level $(N_1,N_2)$

We give an explicit type number formula for the quaternion orders of level $(N_1,N_2)$ specified in this paper, where $N_1=p_1^{2u_1+1}\cdots p_w^{2u_w+1}$, the primes $p_i$ are distinct, $u_i\ge0$, $w$ is odd, and $\gcd(N_1,N_2)=1$. The formula includes Eichler orders and the orders with odd prime-power ramified level considered by Boyd, and allows nonmaximal local orders at several ramified primes, including $2$. We express the answer in terms of a generalized modified Hurwitz class number and explicit local correction factors. The proof combines the correspondence between quaternion orders and ternary quadratic forms with the Siegel--Weil formula and local representation densities. We tabulate class and type numbers for $N_1N_2\le100$. As an application, a mass bound and a finite exact calculation determine the $27$ pairs in this family with type number one.

Nombres de Pisot, nombres de Salem et la conjecture de Lehmer

We investigate the relationship between the set S of Pisot numbers and the set T of Salem numbers. Salem first established that: " every Pisot number is an accumulation point of the set T ". Building on Boyd's method, we show that every accumulation point of T belongs to S. Together, these results imply that the union S U T forms a closed subset of the real half-line ]1,+infinity[. Consequently, this settles Boyd's conjecture while disproving Lehmer's conjecture.

Multiplicative Subgroups of $\mathbb{Z}_p^*$ that are Generalized Arithmetic Progressions

We prove that a multiplicative subgroup $A_k$ of $\mathbb{Z}_p^*$ is a generalized arithmetic progression if and only if $|A_k| = 2,\ 4,$ or $p-1$. Much of the argument builds upon recent work studying additive decompositions of subgroups, and we generalize a result of Hanson and Petridis to show that any additive $n$-decomposition of a subgroup must be a direct sum. We also show how this classification quickly follows from Kalmynin's recent work resolving Sárközy's conjecture for quadratic residues.
