Abstract

We present an algorithm to compute the Hecke operators on the equivariant cohomology of an arithmetic subgroup $Γ$ of the general linear group $\mathrm{GL}_n$. This includes $\mathrm{GL}_n$ over a number field or a finite-dimensional division algebra. As coefficients, we may use any finite-dimensional local coefficient system. Unlike earlier methods, the algorithm works for the cohomology $H^i$ in all degrees $i$. It starts from the well-rounded retract $\tilde{W}$, a $Γ$-invariant cell complex which computes the cohomology. It extends $\tilde{W}$ to a new well-tempered complex $\tilde{W}^+$ of one higher real dimension, using a real parameter called the temperament. The algorithm has been coded up for $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{Z})$ for $n=2,3,4$; we present some results for congruence subgroups of $\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{Z})$.

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.
