Abstract

We compare the asymptotic behavior of Carmichael's lambda function composed with Euler's totient function to the asymptotic behavior of Carmichael's lambda function composed with itself. We establish the normal order of the logarithm of the ratio.

Stable quadratic polynomials over $\mathbb{Q}(i)$

We study iterates of a quadratic $f= x^2+1/c\in K[x]$. If the number of factors of $f^n:=f\circ f \circ ... \circ f$ is bounded by a constant independent of $n$, then $f$ is said to be \emph{eventually stable}. This paper is an extension to $\mathbb{Q}(i)$ of the paper \cite{evstb}, which considered $f$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. The conjecture "if $f^2$ is irreducible, then $f^n$ is irreducible for all $n$" extends to $\mathbb{Q}(i)$, but due to the lack of a linear ordering on $\mathbb{Q}(i)$, an auxiliary function is involved in a specific $n$ to check. The elusive case of $c\equiv 2 \bmod 4$ (as a $\mathbb{Z}$ equivalence class) is shown to be "stable" over $\mathbb{Q}(i)$, offering more evidence for \cite[Conjecture 1]{evstb}. Stability for $c\equiv 1\bmod 2$ (as a $\mathbb{Z}[i]$ equivalence class) is not as fully handled as over $\mathbb{Z}$, however.

Non-Archimedean Poincaré series and geodesics on the Bruhat-Tits tree

Adapting a construction of Kurihara in the setting of Drinfeld modular forms, we define Poincaré series on the Drinfeld half-plane $Ω$. These series are built from products of meromorphic $1$-forms that are naturally associated to geodesics on the Bruhat-Tits tree. We establish convergence under a finiteness condition on the geodesics, verify this condition in several cases, and give sufficient conditions for the resulting cusp forms to be nonzero. For the principal congruence subgroup $Γ(\mathfrak{n})$ of $GL_2(\mathbb{F}_q[T])$, we construct explicit linearly independent families of Poincaré series by lifting certain $k$-forms from the components of the analytic reduction of $Γ(\mathfrak{n})\backslashΩ$. We formulate conjectures on the vanishing orders at cusps, and we prove the first of them for an explicit family of Poincaré series by computing the corresponding expansions at the cusps; as an application, we obtain the Drinfeld modular forms $h$ and $Δ$ as Poincaré series (up to a sign). Finally, for cocompact groups attached to quaternion algebras over $\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ that split at $\infty$, we show that the Poincaré series span the whole space of modular forms of given weight and type.

Arithmetic exceptionality of Lattès maps

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote a finite field of order $q$. A rational function $r(x)\in \mathbb{Q}(x)$ is said to be arithmetically exceptional if it induces a permutation on $\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{F}_p)$ for infinitely many primes $p$. Based on some computational results, Odabaş conjectured that for each $k\in \mathbb{N}$, the $k$-th Lattès map attached to an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ is arithmetically exceptional if and only if $E$ has no $k$-torsion point whose $x$-coordinate is rational. In this paper, we prove that this conjecture is true for any elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ having complex multiplication by an imaginary quadratic field other than $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-11}).$ On the other hand, we show that the conjecture becomes invalid if $E$ has CM by $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-11})$ and $6\mid k$. Partial results for non-CM elliptic curves are also given.
