On denominators of consecutive $\operatorname{SL}(2,{\mathbb N})$-saturated Farey fractions

Abstract

The sequence $({\mathscr S}_Q)_Q$ of $\operatorname{SL}(2,{\mathbb N})$-saturated Farey fractions was defined in our previous work by ${\mathscr S}_Q := \{ a/q \in {\mathbb Q} \cap (0,1]: q+a+\bar{a} \le Q\}$, where $\bar{a}$ is the multiplicative inverse of $a\pmod{q}$ in $[1,q)$. Here, we prove that the set of $Q$-scaled denominators of consecutive fractions in ${\mathscr S}_Q$ is dense in the region ${\mathcal V}:=\{ (x,y)\in [0,1]^2 : \max \{ (1-3x)/2,2x-1\} \le y \le \max \{ x,1-x\} \}$, and provide a formula for their distribution in ${\mathcal V}$ as $Q\rightarrow \infty$.

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.
