The Ramanujan and Sato-Tate Conjectures for Bianchi modular forms

Number Theory 2025-03-28 v3

Abstract

We prove the Ramanujan and Sato-Tate conjectures for Bianchi modular forms of weight at least 2. More generally, we prove these conjectures for all regular algebraic cuspidal automorphic representations of GL2(AF)\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbf{A}_F) of parallel weight, where FF is any CM field. We deduce these theorems from a new potential automorphy theorem for the symmetric powers of 2-dimensional compatible systems of Galois representations of parallel weight.
