A Quantitative Hasse Principle for Weighted Quartic Forms

Abstract

We derive, via the Hardy-Littlewood method, an asymptotic formula for the number of integral zeros of a particular class of weighted quartic forms under the assumption of non-singular local solubility. Our polynomials $F({\mathbf x},{\mathbf y}) \in \mathbb{Z}[x_1,\ldots,x_{s_1},y_1,\ldots,y_{s_2}]$ satisfy the condition that $F(λ^2 {\mathbf x}, λ{\mathbf y}) = λ^4 F({\mathbf x},{\mathbf y})$. Our conclusions improve on those that would follow from a direct application of the methods of Birch. For example, we show that in many circumstances the expected asymptotic formula holds when $s_1 \ge 2$ and $2s_1 + s_2 > 8$.

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.
