Abstract

In this paper, we will employ the Opial and Wirtinger type inequalities to derive some conditional and unconditional lower bounds for the gaps between the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function. First, we prove (unconditionally) that the consecutive nontrivial zeros often differ by at least 1.9902 times the average spacing. This value improves the value 1.9 due to Mueller and the value 1.9799 due to Montogomery and Odlyzko. Second, on the hypothesis that the 2k-th mixed moments of the Hardy Z-function and its derivative are correctly predicted by random matrix theory, we derive some explicit formulae for the gaps and use them to establish new (conditional) large gaps.

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.
