Local Shalika models and functoriality

We prove, over a p-adic local field F, that an irreducible supercuspidal representation of GL_2n (F) is a local Langlands functorial transfer from SO_2n+1(F) if and only if it has a nonzero Shalika model (Corollary 5.2, Proposition 5.4 and Theorem 5.5). Based on this, we verify (Sect. 6) in our cases a conjecture of Jacquet and Martin, a conjecture of Kim, and a conjecture of Speh in the theory of automorphic forms.     

Generalized Shalika models of p-adic SO4n and functoriality

Let F denote a p-adic local field of characteristic zero. In this paper, we investigate the structures of irreducible admissible representations of SO_4n (F) having nonzero generalized Shalika models and find relations between the generalized Shalika models and the local Arthur parameters, which support our conjectures on the local Arthur parametrization and the local Langlands functoriality in terms of the dual group associated to the spherical variety, which is attached to the generalized Shalika models.

On arithmetic models and functoriality of Bost-Connes systems. With an appendix by Sergey Neshveyev

This paper has two parts. In the first part we construct arithmetic models of Bost-Connes systems for arbitrary number fields, which has been an open problem since the seminal work of Bost and Connes (Sel. Math. 1(3):411–457, 1995). In particular our construction shows how the class field theory of an arbitrary number field can be realized through the dynamics of a certain operator algebra. This is achieved by working in the framework of Endomotives, introduced by Connes, Consani and Marcolli (Adv. Math. 214(2):761–831, 2007), and using a classification result of Borger and de Smit (arXiv:1105.4662) for certain Λ-rings in terms of the Deligne-Ribet monoid. Moreover the uniqueness of the arithmetic model is shown by Sergey Neshveyev in an appendix. In the second part of the paper we introduce a base-change functor for a class of algebraic endomotives and construct in this way an algebraic refinement of a functor from the category of number fields to the category of Bost-Connes systems, constructed recently by Laca, Neshveyev and Trifkovic (arXiv:1010.4766).     

On the functoriality of cohomology of categories

In this paper we show that the Baues-Wirsching complex used to define cohomology of categories is a 2-functor from a certain 2-category of natural systems of abelian groups to the 2-category of chain complexes, chain homomorphisms and relative homotopy classes of chain homotopies. As a consequence we derive (co)localization theorems for this cohomology.     

Rankin-Selberg L-functions on the critical line

Let f and g be two primitive (holomorphic or Maass) cusp forms of arbitrary level, character and infinity parameter by which we mean the weight in the holomorphic case and the spectral parameter in the Maass case. Let L(s,f × g) be the associated Rankin-Selberg L-function.If g is fixed and the infinity parameter _f of f varies, then for s on the critical line, the subconvex estimate is any admissible value for the Ramanujan-Petersson-conjecture.     

Solvable base change and Rankin-Selberg convolutions

Let π and π′ be unitary automorphic cuspidal representations of GL_n(A_E) and GL_m(A_F), and let E and F be solvable Galois extensions of Q of degrees ? and ?′, respectively. Using the fact that the automorphic induction and base change maps exist for E and F, and assuming an invariance condition under the actions of the Galois groups, we attach to the pair(π, π′) a Rankin-Selberg L-function L(s, π×E,Fπ′) for which we prove a prime number theorem. This gives a method for comparing two representations that could be defined over completely different extensions, and the main results give a measure of how many cuspidal components the two representations π and π′ have in common when automorphically induced down to the rational numbers. The proof uses the structure of the Galois group of the composite extension EF and the character groups attached to the fields via class field theory. The second main theorem also gives an indication of when the base change of π up to the composite extension EF remains cuspidal.     

Real zeros of Eisenstein series and Rankin-Selberg L-functions

We prove that the Eisenstein series E(z, s) have no real zeroes for s ∈ (0, 1) when the value of the imaginary part of z is in the range $\tfrac{1}{5}$ < Im z < 4.94. For very large and very small values of the imaginary part of z, E(z, s) have real zeros in (½, 1), i.e. GRH does not hold for the Eisenstein series. Using these properties, we prove that the Rankin-Selberg L-function attached with the Ramanujan τ-function has no real zeros in the critical strip, except at the central point s = ½.

Beyond endoscopy for the Rankin-Selberg L-function

We try to understand the poles of L-functions via taking a limit in a trace formula. This technique avoids endoscopic and Kim-Shahidi methods. In particular, we investigate the poles of the Rankin-Selberg L-function. Using analytic number theory techniques to take this limit, we essentially get a new proof of the analyticity of the Rankin-Selberg L-function at s=1. Along the way we discover the convolution operation for Bessel transforms.     

On the Poles of Rankin-Selberg Convolutions of Modular Forms

The Rankin-Selberg convolution is usually normalized by the multiplication of a zeta factor. One naturally expects that the non-normalized convolution will have poles where the zeta factor has zeros, and that these poles will have the same order as the zeros of the zeta factor. However, this will only happen if the normalized convolution does not vanish at the zeros of the zeta factor. In this paper, we prove that given any point inside the critical strip, which is not equal to and is not a zero of the Riemann zeta function, there exist infinitely many cusp forms whose normalized convolutions do not vanish at that point.

     

Twisted longitudinal index theorem for foliations and wrong way functoriality

For a Lie groupoid G with a twisting σ (a PU(H)-principal bundle over G), we use the (geometric) deformation quantization techniques supplied by Connes tangent groupoids to define an analytic index morphism in twisted K-theory. In the case the twisting is trivial we recover the analytic index morphism of the groupoid.For a smooth foliated manifold with twistings on the holonomy groupoid we prove the twisted analog of the Connes–Skandalis longitudinal index theorem. When the foliation is given by fibers of a fibration, our index coincides with the one recently introduced by Mathai, Melrose, and Singer.We construct the pushforward map in twisted K-theory associated to any smooth (generalized) map f:W→M/F and a twisting σ on the holonomy groupoid M/F, next we use the longitudinal index theorem to prove the functoriality of this construction. We generalize in this way the wrong way functoriality results of Connes and Skandalis when the twisting is trivial and of Carey and Wang for manifolds.     

A Rankin-Selberg integral for the adjointL-function of Sp4

In this paper we study the AdjointL-function for Sp₄. For generic cusp forms of Sp₄(A) we construct a global Rankin-Selberg integral which represents thisL-function.     

Queueing models,block hessenberg matrices and the method of neuts

We introduce a numerical method to compute the stationary probability vector of queueing models whose infinitesimal generator is of block Hessenberg form. It is shown that the stationary probability vector is equal to the first column of the inverse of the coefficient matrix. Furthermore, it is shown that the first column of the inverse of an upper (or lower) Hessenberg matrix may be obtained in a relatively small number of operations. Together, these results allow us to define a powerful algorithm for solving certain queueing models. The efficiency of this algorithm is discussed and a comparison with the method of Neuts is undertaken. A relationship with the method of Gaussian elimination is established and used to develop some stability results.This work was supported in part by NSF Grant MCS-83-00438.     

The local Rankin-Selberg convolution for GL(n): divisibility of the conductor

Let F be a non-Archimedean local field and an integer. Let be irreducible supercuspidal representations of GL with . One knows that there exists an irreducible supercuspidal representation of GL, with , such that the local constants (in the sense of Jacquet, Piatetskii-Shapiro and Shalika) are distinct. In this paper, we show that, when is an unramified twist of , one may here takem dividingn and , for a prime divisor ofn depending on and the order of : in particular, , where is the least prime divisor of . This follows from a result giving control of certain divisibility properties of the conductor of a pair of supercuspidal representations.
