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.

Correspondence among Eisenstein series of weight 2

There is a known correspondence among modular forms, Jacobi forms and Siegel modular forms of genus 2. In this paper we show this correspondence can be extended to non-holomorphic Eisenstein series, in particular, among , E2,1(τ,z;δ;0), and .     

On Wronskians of weight one Eisenstein series

We describe the span of Hecke eigenforms of weight four with nonzero central value of L-function in terms of Wronskians of certain weight one Eisenstein series.     

The Dedekind symbol associated with the Eisenstein series of weight two

Dedekind symbols generalize the classical Dedekind sums (symbols). These symbols are determined uniquely, up to additive constants, by their reciprocity laws. For k ≧ 2, there is a natural isomorphism between the space of Dedekind symbols with Laurent polynomial reciprocity laws of degree 2k − 2 and the space of modular forms of weight 2k for the full modular group However, this is not the case when k = 1 as there is no modular form of weight two; nevertheless, there exists a unique (up to a scalar multiple) quasi-modular form (Eisenstein series) of weight two. The purpose of this note is to define the Dedekind symbol associated with this quasi-modular form, and to prove its reciprocity law. Furthermore we show that the odd part of this Dedekind symbol is nothing but a scalar multiple of the classical Dedekind sum. This gives yet another proof of the reciprocity law for the classical Dedekind sum in terms of the quasi-modular form.Received: 13 September 2004     

On the analytic continuation of Eisenstein series for Siegel's modular group of degreen

For \(M = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {A B} \\ {C D} \\ \end{array} } \right)\) ∈ Γ(n)=Sp(n?) andZ=Z+iY,Y > 0, set $$M\left\langle Z \right\rangle = (AZ + B)(CZ + D)^{ - 1} = X_M + iY_M ;M\{ Z\} = CZ + D.$$ Denote with Γ _n (n) the subgroup defined byC=0. Forr∈? and a complex variable ω form the Eisenstein series $$E(n,r,Z,\omega ) = \sum\limits_{M\varepsilon I'_n (n)\backslash \Gamma (n)} {(DetM\{ Z\} )^{ - 2r} (DetY_M )^{\omega - r} } .$$ It is proved thatE(n, r, Z, ω) can be meromorphically continued to the ω-plane and satisfies a functional equation. Forr=1, 2, [(n?1)/2], [(n+1)/2] the functionE(n, r, Z, ω) is holomorphic at ω-r. For 3≤r≤[(n?3)/2] the functionE(n, r, Z, ω) may have poles at ω=r. But the pole-order is for two smaller than known until now. This result says especially that the Eisenstein series has Hecke summation forr=1, 2, [(n?1)/2], [(n+1)/2].     

On differential modular forms and some analytic relations between Eisenstein series

In the present article we define the algebra of differential modular forms and we prove that it is generated by Eisenstein series of weight 2, 4 and 6. We define Hecke operators on them, find some analytic relations between these Eisenstein series and obtain them in a natural way as coefficients of a family of elliptic curves. The fact that a complex manifold over the moduli of polarized Hodge structures in the case h ¹⁰=h ⁰¹=1 has an algebraic structure with an action of an algebraic group plays a basic role in all of the proofs.      

The dimension of the space of Siegel–Eisenstein series of weight one

In general, it is difficult to determine the dimension of the space of Siegel modular forms of low weights. In particular, the dimensions of the spaces of cusp forms are known in only a few cases. In this paper, we calculate the dimension of the space of Siegel–Eisenstein series of weight 1, which is a certain subspace of a complement of the space of cusp forms.      

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.

Arithmetic properties of coefficients of half-integral weight Maass–Poincaré series

Zagier [23] proved that the generating functions for the traces of level 1 singular moduli are weight 3/2 modular forms. He also obtained generalizations for “twisted traces”, and for traces of special non-holomorphic modular functions. Using properties of Kloosterman-Salié sums, and a well known reformulation of Salié sums in terms of orbits of CM points, we systematically show that such results hold for arbitrary weakly holomorphic and cuspidal half-integral weight Poincaré series in Kohnen’s Γ₀(4) plus-space. These results imply the aforementioned results of Zagier, and they provide exact formulas for such traces.     

The coefficients of the Laurent series expansions of real analytic functions

Letf be a real analytic function of a real variable such that 0 is an isolated (possibly essential) singularity off. In the existing literature the coefficients of the Laurent series expansion off around 0 are obtained by applying Cauchy's integral formula to the analytic continuation off on the complex plane. Here by means of a conformal mapping we derive a formula which determines the Laurent coefficients off solely in terms of the values off and the derivatives off at a real point of analyticity off. Using a more complicated mapping, we similarly determine the coefficients of the Laurent expansion off around 0 where now 0 is a singularity off which is not necessarily isolated.
