Abstract

Let E/F be a quadratic number (resp. p-adic) field extension, and F' an odd degree cyclic field extension of F. We establish a base-change functorial lifting of automorphic (resp. admissible) representations from the unitary group U(3,E/F) associated with E/F to the unitary group U(3,F'E/F'). As a consequence, we classify the invariant packets of U(3,F'E/F'), namely those which contain (irreducible) automorphic (resp. admissible) representations which are invariant under the action of the Galois group Gal(F'E/E). To do this we use the trace formula technique, and well-known results on the base-change lifting from U(3,E/F) to GL(3,E) and on the base-change lifting for the general linear groups. We also determine the invariance of individual representations, using Howe correspondence. This work is the first study of base change into an algebraic group whose packets are not all singletons, and which does not satisfy the "strong multiplicity one theorem." Novel phenomena are encountered: e.g. there are invariant packets where not every irreducible automorphic (resp. admissible) member is Galois-invariant. We also obtain local twisted character identities with respect to this base-change lifting.

Transfer operator for the Gauss' continued fraction map. I. Structure of the eigenvalues and trace formulas

Let L be the transfer operator associated with the Gauss' continued fraction map, known also as the Gauss-Kuzmin-Wirsing operator, acting on the Banach space. In this work we prove a two-term asymptotic formula for the eigenvalues of L, show their algebraic simplicity, sign alternation pattern, and decrease in absolute value. This settles, in a stronger form, the conjectures of D. Mayer and G. Roepstorff (1988), A.J. MacLeod (1992), Ph. Flajolet and B. Vallee (1995), also supported by several other authors. Further, we find an exact series for the eigenvalues, which also gives the canonical decomposition of trace formulas due to D. Mayer (1976) and K.I. Babenko (1978). This crystallizes the contribution of each individual eigenvalue in the trace formulas.

Implications of Breuil-Herzig-Hu-Morra-Schraen's conjectures on Zábrádi's functor

Let $ρ$ be a smooth $n$-dimensional representation of $\mathcal{G}_{\mathbb{Q}_p}$ over $\overline{\mathbb{F}_p}$. When $ρ$ is generic and a good conjugate, the article "Conjectures and results on modular representations of $\mathrm{GL}_n(K)$ for a $p$-adic field $K$", by Breuil-Herzig-Hu-Morra-Schraen, introduces the notion of an admissible representation $Π$ of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{Q}_p)$ compatible with $ρ$. In loc. cit., the five authors also question whether there exists some $Π$ compatible with $ρ$ from which Zábrádi's functor $\mathbf{V}_Δ$ recovers a specific representation $\overline{L}^{\boxtimes}(ρ)$ of $\mathcal{G}_{\mathbb{Q}_p}^{n-1}$, constructed from $ρ$. We give a range of results about how badly $\mathbf{V}_Δ(Π)$ behaves for an arbitrary $Π$ satisfying some weaker compatibilities with $ρ$. In particular, when $ρ$ is reducible and $n\geq 3$, no representation $Π$ compatible with $\widetilde{P}_ρ$ can satisfy $\mathbf{V}_Δ(Π)\simeq \overline{L}^{\boxtimes}(ρ)$.

Curves of genus two with maps of every degree to a fixed elliptic curve

We show that up to isomorphism there are exactly twenty pairs $(C,E)$, where $C$ is a genus-$2$ curve over ${\mathbf C}$, where $E$ is an elliptic curve over ${\mathbf C}$, and where for every integer $n>1$ there is a map of degree $n$ from $C$ to $E$. We also show that for every genus-$2$ curve $C$, there is an integer $n$ with $1 < n \le 59$ such that there is no minimal degree-$n$ map from $C$ to an elliptic curve.
