Abstract

The notion of `Pseudo Algebraically Closed (PAC) extensions' is a generalization of the classical notion of PAC fields. It was originally motivated by Hilbert's tenth problem, and recently had new applications. In this work we develop a basic machinery to study PAC extensions. This machinery is based on a generalization of embedding problems to field extensions. The main goal is to prove that the Galois closure of any proper separable algebraic PAC extension is its separable closure. This vastly generalizes earlier works of Jarden-Razon, Jarden, and Jarden and the author. This also leads to a classification of all finite PAC extensions which in turn proves the `bottom conjecture' for finitely generated infinite fields. The secondary goal of this work is to unify proofs of known results about PAC extensions and to establish new basic properties of PAC extensions, e.g.\ transitiveness of PAC extensions.

On the factorisation of the $p$-adic Rankin-Selberg $L$-function in the supersingular case

Given a cusp form $f$ which is supersingular at a fixed prime $p$ away from the level, and a Coleman family $F$ through one of its $p$-stabilisations, we construct a $2$-variable meromorphic $p$-adic $L$-function for the symmetric square of $F$. We prove that this new $p$-adic $L$-function interpolates values of complex imprimitive symmetric square $L$-functions, for the various specialisations of the family $F$. We use this $p$-adic $L$-function to prove a $p$-adic factorisation formula, expressing the geometric $p$-adic $L$-function attached to the Rankin--Selberg convolution of $f$ with itself as a the product of the $p$-adic symmetric square $L$-function of $f$ and a Kubota-Leopoldt $L$-function. This extends a result of Dasgupta in the ordinary case.

Exceptional poles of archimedean Rankin-Selberg L-functions for irreducible generic representations of GL(n,R)

For irreducible generic representations $π_1$ and $π_2$ of $\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb R)$, we prove that the notions of exceptional pole of type $1$ and type $2$ coincide at every level. When both representations are in general position, we use this identification to express the Rankin--Selberg $L$-function $L(s,π_1\timesπ_2)$ in terms of the exceptional $L$-factors attached to the irreducible constituents of their derivatives.
