Abstract

We consider a possible approach to the Lindelöf hypothesis for Dirichlet $L$-functions. It is based on a special form of the functional equation for the corresponding theta functions. To estimate $L_χ(0.5+it)$ we need to solve certain systems of linear equations. The entries to the corresponding matrices are formed by the summands to the series for theta functions and their derivatives. Numerical data suggest that the inverse matrices have a deep structure and allow us to state a number of conjectures. In particular, it seems that for a character modulo $q$ certain entries to the inverse matrices tend to finite limits when the sizes of the matrices run over arithmetical progressions with step $2q$. Moreover, these limits belong to the real cyclotomic field $\mathbb{Q}(\cos(π/q))$ (up to a scaling factor of $\sqrt{q}$).

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.
