Abstract

We prove that when totally real (resp., complex) monogenized cubic number fields are ordered by height, the second moment of the size of the $2$-class group is at most $3$ (resp., at most $6$). In the totally real case, we further prove that the second moment of the size of the narrow $2$-class group is at most $9$. This result gives further evidence in support of the general observation, first made in work of Bhargava--Hanke--Shankar and recently formalized into a set of heuristics in work of Siad--Venkatesh, that monogenicity has an altering effect on class group distributions. All of the upper bounds we obtain are tight, conditional on tail estimates.

On vector valued automorphic forms for the Weil representation

We develop a theory of vector valued automorphic forms associated to the Weil representation $ω_f$ and corresponding to vector valued modular forms transforming with the ``finite'' Weil representation $ρ_L$. For each prime $p$ we determine the structure of a vector valued spherical Hecke algebra depending on $ω_f$, which acts on the space of automorphic forms.

Hilbert's tenth problem for families of $ \mathbb{Z}_p $-extensions of imaginary quadratic fields

Via a novel application of Iwasawa theory, we study Hilbert's tenth problem for number fields occurring in $\mathbb{Z}_p$-towers of imaginary quadratic fields $K$. For a odd prime $p$, the lines $(a,b) \in \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ are identified with $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions $ K_{a,b}/K $. Under certain conditions on $ K $ that involve explicit elliptic curves, we identify a line $(a_0,b_0) \in \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})$ such that for all $(a,b) \in \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ with $(a, b)\not\equiv (a_0, b_0)\pmod{p}$, Hilbert's tenth problem has a negative answer in all finite layers of $ K_{a,b} $. Using results of Bhargava et al., we prove unconditionally that a positive proportion of imaginary quadratic fields meet our criterion when $p=3$. For $p=11,13,31,37$, the analogous conclusions obtained from the rank-zero twist families of Kriz--Li are conditional on the vanishing of the $p$-primary Tate--Shafarevich groups for a positive relative proportion of those twists.

The standard $L$-function attached to a vector valued modular form

We define two $L$-functions associated to a common vector valued eigenform $f$ transforming with the ``finite'' Weil representation. The first one can be seen as a standard zeta function defined by the eigenvalues of $f$. The second one can be interpreted as standard $L$-function defined as an Euler product where each $p$-factor is a rational function in terms of two unramified characters of the $p$-adic field $\Q_p$. We show that both $L$-functions are related and prove further that they both can be continued meromorphically to the whole complex $s$-plane.
