Abstract

Let F be a p-adic field, W_F its absolute Weil group, and let k be an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic l different from p. Attached to any l-adic representation of W_F are local epsilon- and L-factors. There are natural notions of families of l-adic representations of W_F, such as the theory of Galois deformations or, more generally, families over arbitrary Noetherian W(k)-algebras. However, the epsilon and L-factors do not interpolate well in such families. In this paper it is shown that the gamma factor, which is the product of the epsilon factor with a ratio of L-factors, interpolates over such families.

Transfer operator for the Gauss' continued fraction map. I. Structure of the eigenvalues and trace formulas

Let L be the transfer operator associated with the Gauss' continued fraction map, known also as the Gauss-Kuzmin-Wirsing operator, acting on the Banach space. In this work we prove a two-term asymptotic formula for the eigenvalues of L, show their algebraic simplicity, sign alternation pattern, and decrease in absolute value. This settles, in a stronger form, the conjectures of D. Mayer and G. Roepstorff (1988), A.J. MacLeod (1992), Ph. Flajolet and B. Vallee (1995), also supported by several other authors. Further, we find an exact series for the eigenvalues, which also gives the canonical decomposition of trace formulas due to D. Mayer (1976) and K.I. Babenko (1978). This crystallizes the contribution of each individual eigenvalue in the trace formulas.

Arithmetic Sparsity and Obstructions in Weighted Projective Spaces

Let $\mathbb{WP}^n_{\mathbf{q}}$ be a weighted projective space with weights $\mathbf{q} = (q_0, \dots, q_n)$, $q = \operatorname{lcm}(q_i)$, and let $ϕ\colon \mathbb{WP}^n_{\mathbf{q}} \to \mathbb{P}^n$, $[x_i] \mapsto [x_i^{q/q_i}]$, be the Veronese morphism. A point of $\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{Q})$ is the image of a rational point of $\mathbb{WP}^n_{\mathbf{q}}$ only if its valuation vector at every prime satisfies a Kummer congruence. We count the rational points of $\mathbb{WP}^n_{\mathbf{q}}$ of bounded weighted height $\mathfrak{h} = H(ϕ(\,\cdot\,))^{1/q}$ and prove that, on the locus where all coordinates are nonzero, $$ Z^{\circ}_{\mathfrak{h}}\big( \mathbb{WP}^n_{\mathbf{q}}(\mathbb{Q}), X \big) = X^{q\,a(\mathbf{q})} P_{\mathbf{q}}(\log X) + O\big( X^{q\,a(\mathbf{q}) - θ} \big), \qquad θ> 0, $$ with $P_{\mathbf{q}}$ of exact degree $β(\mathbf{q})$, where $a(\mathbf{q})$ and $β(\mathbf{q})$ are the value and the dimension of the optimal face of a linear program determined by the Kummer congruences. The exponent satisfies $Q \leq q\,a(\mathbf{q}) \leq q(n+1)$, $Q = \sum q_i$, with equality on the right if and only if the exponents $q/q_i$ are pairwise coprime; the difference $q(n+1) - q\,a(\mathbf{q})$ measures the sparsity of the rational points of $\mathbb{WP}^n_{\mathbf{q}}$ relative to those of its Veronese image. The leading constant is evaluated when the dual optimum is diagonal and for the weights $(2,2,3,3)$. The full counting function follows by stratification, and we formulate the conjecture over an arbitrary number field.
