Abstract

In this paper, we consider some CM fields which we call of dihedral type and compute the Artin $L$-functions associated to all CM types of these CM fields. As a consequence of this calculation, we see that the Colmez conjecture in this case is very closely related to understanding the log derivatives of certain Hecke characters of real quadratic fields. Recall that the `abelian case' of the Colmez conjecture, proved by Colmez himself, amounts to understanding the log derivatives of Hecke characters of $\Q$ (cyclotomic characters). In this paper, we also prove that the Colmez conjecture holds for `unitary CM types of signature $(n-1, 1)$' and holds on average for `unitary CM types of a fixed CM number field of signature $(n-r, r)$'.

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.
