Vanishing Coefficients in Products of Quintuple Products

Abstract

Explicit arithmetic progressions modulo primes $p \equiv 1 \pmod{4}$ are derived in which the coefficients in the expansions of products of quintuple products vanish. In particular, if $p = m^{2} + n^{2}$, and $b$ is a positive integer, and $$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{n}q^{n} = \frac{(q^{2bm},q^{p-2bm};q^{2bn},q^{p-2bn};q^p)_{\infty}}{(q^p,-q^{b m},-q^{p-bm},-q^{bn},-q^{p-bn};q^p)_{\infty}^2},$$ we determine $α= α(m,n,p)$ such that $a_{pt+ α}=0$. Our results are proven using involutive transformations on integer lattices.

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.
