Abstract

We show that there exists a bounded pattern of m consecutive primes for any m>0, that means a tuple H_m of m distinct non-negative integers h_i (i=1,2,...m) such that its translations contain arbitrarily long (finite) arithmetic progressions. More precisely, the set of natural numbers n for which all components n+h_i (i=1,2,...m) are consecutive primes contains arbitrarily long (finite) arithmetic progressions. Moreover, the set of m-tuples that satisfy this property represents a positive proportion of all m-tuples. The present result is the generalization of the results of Green-Tao (about the existence of arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions) and of Maynard/Tao (about the existence of infinitely many bounded blocks of m primes, where m is an arbitrary natural number). It also generalizes the author's work which first showed the existence of infinitely many Polignac numbers and they contain arbitrarily long (finite) arithmetic progressions (arXiv: 1305.6289v1, 27 May 2013) which was a common generalization of the above mentioned result of Green-Tao and that of Zhang (about the exisatence of infinitely many bounded gaps between primes).

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.
