Abstract

Let $X$ be a K3 surface defined over a number field $k$, with principal complex multiplication by a CM field $E$. We find explicit bounds, in terms of $k$ and $E$, on the size of the transcendental Brauer group $\operatorname{Br}(X)/\operatorname{Br}_1(X)$ of $X$. Bounding the size of this group is important for computing the Brauer--Manin obstruction, which is conjectured by Skorobogatov to be the only obstruction to the Hasse principle for K3 surfaces. Our methods are built on top of earlier work by Valloni, who related the group $\operatorname{Br}(X)/\operatorname{Br}_1(X)$ to the arithmetic structure of the CM field $E$. It is from this arithmetic structure that we deduce our bounds.

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.
