Abstract

In this paper, we prove an unconditionnal bound for the analytic rank (i.e the order of vanishing at the critical point of the LL function) of the new part J0n(q)J^n_0(q), of the jacobian of the modular curve X0(q)X_0(q). Our main resultis the following upper bound: for qq prime, one has ranka(J0n(q))dimJ0n(q)rank_a(J_0^n(q))\ll \dim J_0^n(q) where the implied constant is absolute. All previously known non trivials bounds of ranka(J0n(q))rank_a(J_0^n(q)) assumed the generalized Riemann hypothesis; here, our proof is unconditionnal, and is based firstly on the construction by Perelli and Pomykala of a new test function in the context of Riemann-Weil explicit formulas, and secondly on a density theorem for the zeros of LL functions attached to new forms.
