A cuspidal automorphic representation \pi of a group G is said to to be distinguished with respect to a subgroup H if the integral of f along H is nonzero for a cusp form f in the space of \pi. Such period integrals are related to…

We evaluate the smoothed first moment of central values of a family of qudratic Hecke $L$-functions in the Gaussian field using the method of double Dirichlet series. The asymptotic formula we obtain has an error term of size…

This is the first in a series of three papers dealing with sums of squares and hypoellipticity in the infinite regime. We give a sharp sufficient condition on a smooth nonnegative function f on n-dimensional Euclidean space so that it can…

Let $E_n$ be the congruent number elliptic curve $y^2=x^3-n^2x$, where $n$ is square-free and not divisible by primes $p\equiv 3\pmod 4$. In this paper, we prove that $L(E_n,1)$ can be expressed as the square of CM values of some simple…

Let $\pi$ be an irreducible cuspidal automorphic generic representation of $\mathrm{Sp}_{2n}(\mathbb{A})$ and let $\chi:F^\times\backslash \mathbb{A}^\times\to \mathbb{C}^\times$ be a unitary idele class character. In this note, we present…

We use Heegner points to prove the existence of nontorsion rational points on the elliptic curve $y^2 = x^3 + D$ for any rational number $D=a/b$ such that $a$ and $b$ are squarefree integers for which $6$, $a$, and $b$ are pairwise…

We compute the critical $L$-values of some weight 3, 4, or 5 modular forms, by transforming them into integrals of the complete elliptic integral $K$. In doing so, we prove closed form formulas for some moments of $K'^3$. Many of our…

We give an efficient algorithm to evaluate a certain class of exponential sums, namely the periodic, quadratic, multivariate half Gauss sums. We show that these exponential sums become $\#\mathsf{P}$-hard to compute when we omit either the…

Let $\pi$ be a Hecke cusp form for $\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{Z})$. We bound the second moment average of $L(s,\pi)$ over a short interval to obtain the subconvexity estimate $$ L(1/2+it, \pi) \ll_{\pi, \varepsilon}…

An asymptotic formula for the sum $\sum L(1,\chi)$ is established for a family of hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ over a fixed finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ as $g\rightarrow\infty$ making use of the analogue of the approximate functional…

In this paper we continue work in the direction of a characterization of rational period functions on the Hecke groups. We examine the role that Hecke-symmetry of poles plays in this setting, and pay particular attention to non-symmetric…

The classical quadratic Gauss sum can be thought of as an exponential sum attached to a quadratic form on a cyclic group. We introduce an equivariant version of Gauss sum for arbitrary finite quadratic forms, which is an exponential sum…

This paper presents expressions for gamma values at rational points with the denominator dividing 24 or 60. These gamma values are expressed in terms of 10 distinct gamma values and rational powers of $\pi$ and a few real algebraic numbers.…

The family of symmetric powers of an $L$-function associated with an elliptic curve with complex multiplication has received much attention from algebraic, automorphic and p-adic points of view. Here we examine one explicit such family from…

Let H(N) denote the Hurwitz class number. It is known that if $p$ is a prime, then {equation*} \sum_{|r|<2\sqrt p}H(4p-r^2) = 2p. {equation*} In this paper, we investigate the behavior of this sum with the additional condition $r\equiv…

We establish the first moment bound $$ \sum_{\varphi} L(\varphi \otimes \varphi \otimes \Psi, \tfrac{1}{2}) \ll_{\varepsilon} p^{5/4+\varepsilon} $$ for triple product $L$-functions, where $\Psi$ is a fixed Hecke-Maass form on…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote a finite field of order $q$. A rational function $r(x)\in \mathbb{Q}(x)$ is said to be arithmetically exceptional if it induces a permutation on $\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{F}_p)$ for infinitely many primes $p$. Based on…

We compute the second moment of a certain family of Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions L(f x g, 1/2) where f and g are Hecke-Maass cusp forms on GL(n). Our bound is as strong as the Lindel\"of hypothesis on average, and recovers individually the…

In this paper I demonstrate that any pair (m, n) of non-zero and distinct rational numbers may have, at most, four representations as the product of two rational factors such that the sum of factors of m coincides with the sum of factors of…
