Abstract

Motivated by Su's construction of Cohen-type Eisenstein series of half-integral weight over totally real number fields \cite{Su16}, we introduce a generalization of Hurwitz class numbers to totally real number fields. Using these generalized Hurwitz class numbers, we establish an Eichler--Selberg trace formula for the space of holomorphic Hilbert cusp forms over real quadratic fields of narrow class number one. While the classical Hurwitz class numbers are defined in terms of class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields, the generalized Hurwitz class numbers appearing in our Eichler--Selberg trace formula are defined in terms of class numbers of quartic CM fields. For applications of this Eichler--Selberg trace formula, we study the distribution of the generalized Hurwitz class numbers, prove class number relations, and carry out numerical computations of traces of Hecke operators for $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{5})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{29})$.

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.
