Partial sums of the cotangent function

Abstract

Nous prouvons l'existence de formules de réciprocité pour des sommes de la forme $\sum_{m=1}^{k-1} f(\frac{m}k) \cot(π\frac{mh}k)$, où $f$ est une fonction $C^1$ par morceaux, qui met en évidence un phénomène d'alternance qui n'apparaît pas dans le cas classique où $f(x) = x$. Nous déduisons des majorations de ces sommes en termes du développement en fraction continue de $h/k$. We prove the existence of reciprocity formulae for sums of the form $\sum_{m=1}^{k-1}f(\frac{m}{k})\cot(π\frac{m h}k)$ where $f$ is a piecewise $C^1$ function, featuring an alternating phenomenon not visible in the classical case where $f(x)=x$. We deduce bounds for these sums in terms of the continued fraction expansion of $h/k$.

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.
