Abstract

This paper deals with the analogue of Inhomogeneous Diophantine Approximation in function fields. The inhomogeneous approximation constant of a Laurent series $θ\in\mathbb F_q\left(\left(\frac{1}{t}\right)\right)$ with respect to $γ\in\mathbb F_q\left(\left(\frac{1}{t}\right)\right)$ is defined to be $c(θ,γ)=\inf_{0\neq N\in\mathbb F_q\left[t\right]}|N|\cdot|\langle Nθ- γ\rangle|$. We show that for every $θ$ there exists $γ$ such that $c(θ,γ)\geq q^{-2}$, and find a sufficient condition on $θ$ which forces $c(θ,γ) \leq q^{-2}$ for every $γ$. Given $θ$, we prove that the set $BA_θ=\left\{γ\in\mathbb F_q\left(\left(\frac{1}{t}\right)\right)\;:\; c(θ,γ)>0\right\}$ has full Hausdorff dimension. Our methods allow us to solve the case of vectors in $\mathbb F_q\left(\left(\frac{1}{t}\right)\right)^d$ as well. Our results offer a strengthening to analogues of results for real inhomogeneous approximation.

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.
