Abstract

We establish an error term in the Sato-Tate theorem of Birch. That is, for $p$ prime, $q=p^r$ we show that $\#\{ (a,b) \in \mathbb{F}_q^2 : θ_{a,b}\in I\} =μ_{ST}(I)q^2 + O_r(q^{7/4})$ for any interval $I\subseteq[0,π]$ where for an elliptic curve $E: y^2= x^3 +ax +b$, the quantity $θ_{a,b}$ is defined by $2\sqrt{q}\cosθ_{a,b} = q+1-E(\mathbb{F}_q)$ and $μ_{ST}(I)$ denotes the Sato-Tate measure of the interval $I$.

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.
