Abstract

We discuss a possible generalisation of a conjecture of Bley, Burns and Hahn concerning the relation between the second Adams-operator twisted Galois-Gauss sums of weakly ramified Artin characters and the square root of the inverse different of finite, odd degree, Galois extensions of number fields, to the setting of all finite Galois extensions of number fields for which a square root of the inverse different exists. We also extend the key methods and results of Bley, Burns and Hahn to this more general setting and, by combining these methods with a recent result of Agboola, Burns, Caputo and the present author concerning Artin root numbers of twisted irreducible symplectic characters, we provide new insight into a conjecture of Erez concerning the Galois structure of the square root of the inverse different.

On the Pair Correlation of Zeros of $L$-Functions for Non-CM Newforms in Shifted Ranges

We study the pair correlation between zeros of a shifted auxiliary $ L $-function attached to a non-CM newform, the scale of which is a fixed constant. We prove an unconditional asymptotic result for the pair correlation and introduce a simplicity hypothesis for the zeros of this function, which if true means that multiple zeros of the original $ L $-function cannot be separated by the same fixed distance. Our results provide macroscopic information in contrast to the pair correlation of the original $ L $-function which is of microscopic nature.

Prime Solutions to a Binary Additive Equation and Mixed Moments of Character Sums

We obtain an asymptotic formula with a power-saving error term for counting the integer points $(a,b,c,d)$ in an expanding box that satisfy the determinant equation $x_1x_2-x_3x_4 =r$ for $r \neq 0 $ with two of entries to be prime. Finally, these estimates are applied to evaluate mixed fourth moments of Dirichlet character sums over integers and primes, yielding non-trivial bounds. The method involves the Poisson summation formula and the estimation for the average of the sums of the Kloosterman fractions over primes.

On properness of moduli stacks of $D^{\times}$-shtukas over ramified legs

Given a maximal order $\mathcal{D}$ of a central division algebra $D$ over a global function field $F$, we prove an explicit sufficient condition for moduli stacks of $\mathcal{D}^\times$-shtukas to be proper over a finite field (modulo a suitable central action) in terms of the \emph{local invariants} of $D$ and \emph{bounds}. Our proof is a refinement of E.~Lau's result (Duke Math. J. \textbf{140} (2007)), which showed the properness of the \emph{leg morphism} (or \emph{characteristic morphism}) away from the ramification locus of $D$. %, by carefully measuring the contribution of ``ramified legs''. We also establish non-emptiness of Newton and Kottwitz--Rapoport strata for moduli stacks of $\mathcal{B}^\times$-shtukas, where $\mathcal{B}$ is a maximal order of a central simple algebra over $F$.
