On finite field arithmetic in characteristic $2$

Abstract

We are interested in extending normal bases of $\mathbf{F}_{\!2^n}/\mathbf{F}_{\!2}$ to bases of $\mathbf{F}_{\!2^{nd}}/\mathbf{F}_{\!2}$ which allow fast arithmetic in $\mathbf{F}_{\!2^{nd}}$. This question has been recently studied by Thomson and Weir in case $d$ is equal to $2$. We construct efficient extended bases in case $d$ is equal to $3$ and $4$. We also give conditions under which Thomson-Weir construction can be combined with ours.

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.
