Abstract

Can one find an integer $g$ and a polynomial $f$, such that $g$ is a primitive root for many consecutive (different) prime values assumed by $f$? Moree considered this problem in 2007 with computational assistence from Gallot and concentrated on the case where $f$ is quadratic. Recently Akbary and Scholten (Math. Comp., to appear) extended this work and also considered the case where $f$ is linear and cubic. In their paper they improved on a record of the authors in the quadratic case. However, mistakingly Moree had not mentioned in the 2007 paper the then record (from 2006), but only an older record. The 2006 record (due to Gallot) actually exceeds the 'record' from Akbary and Scholten. Aside from pointing this out, the goal of the note is to attend people to the problem mentioned in the first sentence of the abstract and point out some connections with recent spectacular work of Maynard and highly interesting work of Pollack.

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.
