Elliptic curves and spin

Abstract

In the early 2000s, Ramakrishna asked the question: For the elliptic curve $$ E: y^2 = x^3 - x, $$ what is the density of primes $p$ for which the Fourier coefficient $a_p(E)$ is a cube modulo $p$? As a generalization of this question, Weston--Zaurova formulated conjectures concerning the distribution of power residues of degree $m$ of the Fourier coefficients of elliptic curves $E/\mathbb{Q}$ with complex multiplication. In this paper, we prove their conjecture for cubic residues using the analytic theory of spin. Our proof works for all elliptic curves $E$ with complex multiplication.

On properties of the generalized Davenport Expansion

We study the continuity properties of a generalized Davenport Fourier expansion we recently discovered, by imposing conditions on the coefficients. We also put our expansion into perspective from the position of Appell sequences.

Slope distributions of $\mathscr{L}$-invariants for modular forms

Fix a prime $p\geq5$, an integer $N\geq1$ relatively prime to $p$, and an irreducible residual global Galois representation $\bar{r}: Gal_{\mathbb{Q}}\rightarrow GL_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$. In this paper, we utilize ghost series to study $p$-adic slopes of $\mathscr{L}$-invariants for $\bar{r}$-newforms. More precisely, under a locally reducible and strongly generic condition for $\bar{r}$: (1) we determine the slopes of $\mathscr{L}$-invariants associated to $\bar{r}$-newforms of weight $k$ and level $Γ_0(Np)$, with at most $O(log_pk)$ exceptions; (2) we establish the integrality of these slopes; (3) we prove an equidistribution property for these slopes as the weight $k$ tends to infinity, which confirms the equidistribution conjecture for $\mathscr{L}$-invariants proposed by Bergdall--Pollack recently.

On triple product $L$-functions and the fiber bundle method

We introduce multi-variable zeta integrals which unfold to Euler products representing the triple product $L$-function times a product of $L$-functions with known analytic properties. We then formulate a generalization of the Poisson summation conjecture and show how it implies the analytic properties of triple product $L$-functions. Finally, we propose a strategy, the fiber bundle method, to reduce this generalized conjecture to a simpler case of the Poisson summation conjecture along with certain local compatibility statements.
