Determining newforms via arithmetic relations among Fourier coefficients

Abstract

We investigate the distribution of primes satisfying arithmetic inequalities involving the Fourier coefficients of two non-CM newforms at prime powers. More precisely, we establish asymptotic formulas for the number of primes for which the differences, products, and ratios of the Fourier coefficients satisfy prescribed inequalities, together with explicit estimates for the corresponding densities. The proofs combine an effective joint Sato--Tate theorem with a geometric analysis of the associated semi-algebraic regions. As applications, we obtain new multiplicity one criteria, improve a theorem of Matomäki on small differences between Fourier coefficients, establish density-one analogues in the spirit of the Atkin--Serre conjecture, and derive a new characterization of twist-equivalence through the distribution of ratios of Fourier coefficients.

Asymptotic density of k-almost primes

Landau's well known asymptotic formula $$N_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : Ω(n)=k\}\mid \ \sim \left( \frac{x}{\log x} \right) \frac{(\log\log x)^{k-1}}{(k - 1)!}\ \ (x \rightarrow \infty),$$ which also holds for $$π_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : ω(n)=k\}\mid,$$ is known to be fairly poor for $k > 1$, and when $k$ is allowed to tend to infinity with $x$, the study of $N_k(x)$ and $π_k(x)$ becomes very technical [1, Chapter II.6, $§$ 6.1, p.200]. I hope to show that the method described below provides not only a more accurate approach, but rather increases in its asymptotic accuracy as $k$ tends to infinity.

Real quadratic base changes for $\mathrm{GL}_3$ and integral periods relations

We prove a $p$-adic divisibility between the automorphic periods of a cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}_3(\mathbb{Q})$ and the periods of its Arthur-Clozel's base change to some real quadratic field $E$. This generalizes earlier works of Tilouine-Urban and of Hida in the case of classical modular forms. The divisibility we prove involves a new kind of automorphic periods, defined using the middle degree of the cuspidal cohomology of $\mathrm{GL}_3(E)$, instead of the top or bottom degrees. We also investigate the Rogawski's stable base change from the quasi-split unitary group $U_E$ associated with $E$ to $\mathrm{GL}_3(E)$. In this situation, we also obtain some results toward a $p$-adic divisibility of automorphic periods.
