A Note On Signs Of Fourier Coefficients Of Two Cusp Forms

Abstract

Kohnen and Sengupta proved that two cusp forms of different integral weights with real algebraic Fourier coefficients have infinitely many Fourier coefficients of the same as well as of opposite sign, up to the action of a Galois automorphism. Recently Gun, Kohnen and Rath strengthen their result by comparing the simultaneous sign changes of Fourier coefficients of two cusp forms with arbitrary real Fourier coefficients. The simultaneous sign changes of Fourier coefficients of two same integral weight cusp forms follow from an earlier work of Ram Murty. In this note we compare the signs of the Fourier coefficients of two cusp forms simultaneously for the congruence subgroup $Γ_0(\mathit{N})$ where the coefficients lie in an arithmetic progression. Next we consider an analogous question for the particular sparse sequences of Fourier coefficients of normalized Hecke eigen cusp forms for the full modular group.

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.
