Jacobi–Hecke algebras and a rationality theorem for a formal Hecke series

It is well known that the L-function associated to a Siegel eigenform f is equal to a Rankin-Selberg type zeta-integral involving f and a restricted Eisenstein series ([3], [14]). At some point in the proof one has to show the equality of a certain Dirichlet series and the L-function, which follows from a rationality theorem for a certain formal power series over the Hecke algebra. The main purpose of this paper is to develop a Hecke theory for the Jacobi group and to prove such a rationality theorem. Received: 17 August 1998 / Revised version: 17 February 1999     

Twisted Hecke L-values and period polynomials

Let f₁,…,fd be an orthogonal basis for the space of cusp forms of even weight 2k on Γ₀(N). Let L(fi,s) and L(fi,χ,s) denote the L-function of fi and its twist by a Dirichlet character χ, respectively. In this note, we obtain a “trace formula” for the values at integers m and n with 0<m,n<2k and proper parity. In the case N=1 or N=2, the formula gives us a convenient way to evaluate precisely the value of the ratio L(f,χ,m)/L(f,n) for a Hecke eigenform f.     

Derivative at s = 1 of the p-adic L-function of the symmetric square of a Hilbert modular form

Let p ≥ 3 be a prime and F a totally real number field. Let f be a Hilbert cuspidal eigenform of parallel weight 2, trivial Nebentypus and ordinary at p. It is possible to construct a p-adic L function which interpolates the complex L-function associated with the symmetric square representation of f. This p-adic L-function vanishes at s = 1 even if the complex L-function does not. Assuming p inert and f Steinberg at p, we give a formula for the p-adic derivative at s = 1 of this p-adic L-function, generalizing unpublished work of Greenberg and Tilouine. Under some hypotheses on the conductor of f we prove a particular case of a conjecture of Greenberg on trivial zeros.     

Special values of L-functions by a Siegel-Weil-Kudla-Rallis formula

We study the arithmeticity of special values of L-functions attached to cuspforms which are Hecke eigenfunctions on hermitian quaternion groups Sp^∗(m,0) which form a reductive dual pair with G=O^∗(4n). For f₁ and f₂ two cuspforms on H, consider their theta liftings θf₁ and θf₂ on G. Then we compute a Rankin-Selberg type integral and obtain an integral representation of the standard L-function:

G〈θf₁⋅Es,θf₂〉=H〈f₁,f₂〉⋅Lstd(f₁,s).     

The first moment of the symmetric-square L-function

We find a twisted first moment of L(sym²f,s) at any point s on the critical line, over a basis of weight k Hecke eigenforms f for the full modular group, as k→∞. As a corollary we show that given any point on the critical line and large enough even k, there exists an eigenform f of weight k such that L(sym²f,s) is nonvanishing at that point.     

Central values of L-functions over CM fields

We prove an explicit formula for the central values of certain Rankin L-functions. These L-functions are the L-functions attached to Hilbert newforms over a totally real field F, twisted by unitary Hecke characters of a totally imaginary quadratic extension of F. This formula generalizes our former result on L-functions twisted by finite CM characters.     

Products of Hecke eigenforms

Let f(z) and g(z) be Hecke eigenforms for Γ₀(p), where p is a prime. If both f(z) and g(z) are non-cuspidal forms and p?7, then the product is a Hecke eigenform only if it comes trivially from a level 1 solution. If g(z) is a cuspform and p?5, then in addition to the level 1 solutions, there are 8 new cases where the product of Hecke eigenforms is a Hecke eigenform.     

Symmetric square L-values and dihedral congruences for cusp forms

Let be a prime, and k=(p+1)/2. In this paper we prove that two things happen if and only if the class number . One is the non-integrality at p of a certain trace of normalised critical values of symmetric square L-functions, of cuspidal Hecke eigenforms of level one and weight k. The other is the existence of such a form g whose Hecke eigenvalues satisfy “dihedral” congruences modulo a divisor of p (e.g. p=23, k=12, g=Δ). We use the Bloch-Kato conjecture to link these two phenomena, using the Galois interpretation of the congruences to produce global torsion elements which contribute to the denominator of the conjectural formula for an L-value. When , the trace turns out always to be a p-adic unit.     

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.     

Critical slope p-adic L-functions of CM modular forms

For ordinary modular forms, there are two constructions of a p-adic L-function attached to the non-unit root of the Hecke polynomial, which are conjectured but not known to coincide. We prove this conjecture for modular forms of CM type, by calculating the critical-slope L-function arising from Kato’s Euler system and comparing this with results of Bellaïche on the critical-slope L-function defined using overconvergent modular symbols.     

Image of Λ-adic Galois representations modulo p

Let p≥5 be a prime. If an irreducible component of the spectrum of the ‘big’ ordinary Hecke algebra does not have complex multiplication, under mild assumptions, we prove that the image of its mod p Galois representation contains an open subgroup of for the canonical “weight” variable T. This fact appears to be deep, as it is almost equivalent to the vanishing of the μ-invariant of the Kubota–Leopoldt p-adic L-function and the anticyclotomic Katz p-adic L-function. Another key ingredient of the proof is the anticyclotomic main conjecture proven by Rubin/Mazur–Tilouine.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic interpolation of Taylor coefficients of modular forms

In this paper we show that the Taylor coefficients of a Hecke eigenform at a CM-point, suitably modified, form a sequence of algebraic numbers that satisfy the Kubota–Leopoldt generalization of the Kummer congruences for primes that split in the imaginary quadratic field associated with a CM-point. More generally, we show that these numbers are moments of a certain p-adic measure. In addition, we write down explicitly the “Euler factor” at p in terms of the p th Hecke eigenvalue of the modular form in question and certain data of the CM-point. P.

Iterated period integrals and multiple Hecke L-functions

In this paper we express the multiple Hecke L-function in terms of a linear combination of iterated period integrals associated with elliptic cusp forms, which is introduced by Manin around 2004. This expression generalizes the classical formula of Hecke L-function obtained by the Mellin transformation of a cusp form. Also the expression gives a way of the analytic continuation of the multiple Hecke L-function.     

On the Fourier coefficients of Hilbert-Maass wave forms of half integral weight over arbitrary algebraic number fields

The purpose of this paper is to derive a generalization of Shimura's results concerning Fourier coefficients of Hilbert modular forms of half integral weight over total real number fields in the case of Hilbert-Maass wave forms over algebraic number fields by following the Shimura's method. Employing theta functions, we shall construct the Shimura correspondence Ψ_τ from Hilbert-Maass wave forms f of half integral weight over algebraic number fields to Hilbert-Maass wave forms of integral weight over algebraic number fields. We shall determine explicitly the Fourier coefficients of in terms of these f. Moreover, under some assumptions about f concerning the multiplicity one theorem with respect to Hecke operators, we shall establish an explicit connection between the square of Fourier coefficients of f and the central value of quadratic twisted L-series associated with the image of f.     

(Almost) primitivity of Hecke <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-functions

Let f be a cusp form of the Hecke space and let L _f be the normalized L-function associated to f. Recently it has been proved that L _f belongs to an axiomatically defined class of functions . We prove that when λ ≤ 2, L _f is always almost primitive, i.e., that if L _f is written as product of functions in , then one factor, at least, has degree zeros and hence is a Dirichlet polynomial. Moreover, we prove that if then L _f is also primitive, i.e., that if L _f = F ₁ F ₂ then F ₁ (or F ₂) is constant; for the factorization of non-primitive functions is studied and examples of non-primitive functions are given. At last, the subset of functions f for which L _f belongs to the more familiar extended Selberg class is characterized and for these functions we obtain analogous conclusions about their (almost) primitivity in .     

A relation between <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-functions and the Tamagawa number conjecture for Hecke characters

We prove that the submodule in K-theory which gives the exact value of the L-function by the Beilinson regulator map at non-critical values for Hecke characters of imaginary quadratic fields K with cl (K) = 1(p-local Tamagawa number conjecture) satisfies that the length of its coimage under the local Soulé regulator map is the p-adic valuation of certain special values of p-adic L-functions associated to the Hecke characters. This result yields immediately, up to Jannsens conjecture, an upper bound for in terms of the valuation of these p-adic L-functions, where V_p denotes the p-adic realization of a Hecke motive.Received: 4 June 2003     

An arithmetic formula for certain coefficients of the Euler product of Hecke polynomials

In 1997 the author found a criterion for the Riemann hypothesis for the Riemann zeta function, involving the nonnegativity of certain coefficients associated with the Riemann zeta function. In 1999 Bombieri and Lagarias obtained an arithmetic formula for these coefficients using the “explicit formula” of prime number theory. In this paper, the author obtains an arithmetic formula for corresponding coefficients associated with the Euler product of Hecke polynomials, which is essentially a product of L-functions attached to weight 2 cusp forms (both newforms and oldforms) over Hecke congruence subgroups Γ₀(N). The nonnegativity of these coefficients gives a criterion for the Riemann hypothesis for all these L-functions at once.     

Modularity of a Certain Calabi-Yau Threefold

 The Langlands program predicts that certain Calabi-Yau threefolds are modular in the sense that their L-series correspond to the Mellin transforms of weight 4 newforms. Here we prove that the L-function of the threefold given by is , the unique normalized eigenform in . (Received 21 May 1999; in revised form 27 July 1999)     

Estimates for the Fourier coefficients of symmetric square L-functions

Let f(z) be a holomorphic Hecke eigenform of even weight k for the full modular group ${SL_2(\mathbb{Z})}$ , and denote by L(s, sym² f) the corresponding symmetric square L-function associated to f. Suppose that ${\lambda_{\rm{sym}^2} f(n)}$ is the nth normalized Fourier coefficient of L(s, sym² f). In this paper, the asymptotic formula $$\begin{array}{ll}\sum_{n\leq x} \lambda^2_{\rm{sym}^2 f}(n) = C x + O(x^{\frac{10}{13}} \log^{9} x)\end{array}$$ is established.     

Euler numbers congruences and Dirichlet L-functions

Text

In this paper we apply Yamamoto's Theorem [Y. Yamamoto, Dirichlet series with periodic coefficients, in: Proc. Intern. Sympos. “Algebraic Number Theory”, Kyoto, 1976, JSPS, Tokyo, 1977, pp. 275-289] to find the residue modulo a prime power of the linear combination of Dirichlet L-function values L(s,χ) at positive integral arguments s such that s and χ are of the same parity, in terms of Euler numbers, whereby we obtain the finite expressions for short interval character sums. The results obtained generalize the previous results pertaining to the congruences modulo a prime power of the class numbers as the special case of s=1.
