Abstract

We prove an asymptotic formula with a power-saving error term for the second moment $$ \sum_{q \in \mathcal{Q}} \; \; \sideset{}{^\flat}\sum_{χ\bmod q} \left| L\big( \tfrac{1}{2} , χ\big) L\big(\tfrac{1}{2},f\otimes χ)\right|^2 $$ of the twisted ${\rm GL}(2)$ {$L$}-function and the Dirichlet {$L$}-function at the central point under the assumption of Selberg's eigenvalue conjecture. Here $f$ is a fixed Hecke holomorphic cusp form for $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ and the sum over $χ$ runs over all primitive even Dirichlet characters modulo $q$, and $$\mathcal{Q}=\left\{q=q_1 q_2\asymp Q: q_1 \leq Q_1, q_2 \leq Q_2,\ Q_2\asymp Q^{δ_1},(q,6)=1,(q_1,q_2)=1 \right\}$$ with $0<δ_1<0.0004$.

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.
