Abstract

Let $\mathbb{N}$ be the set of all positive integers and let $a,\, b,\, c$ be nonzero integers such that $\gcd\left(a,\, b,\, c\right)=1$. In this paper, we prove the following three results: (1) the solvability of the matrix equation $aX^m+bY^n=cI,\,X,\,Y\in M_2(\mathbb{Z}),\, m,\, n\in\mathbb{N}$ can be reduced to the solvability of the corresponding Diophantine equation if $XY\neq YX$ and the solvability of the equation $ax^m+by^n=c,\, m,\, n\in\mathbb{N}$ in quadratic fields if $XY=YX$; (2) we determine all non-commutative solutions of the matrix equation $X^n+Y^n=c^nI,\,X,\,Y\in M_2(\mathbb{Z}),\,n\in\mathbb{N},\,n\geq3$, and the solvability of this matrix equation can be reduced to the solvability of the equation $x^n+y^n=c^n,\, n\in\mathbb{N},\,n\geq3$ in quadratic fields if $XY=YX$; (3) we determine all solutions of the matrix equation $aX^2+bY^2=cI,\,X,\,Y\in M_2(\mathbb{Z})$.

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.
