We study the special value at 2 of L-functions of modular forms of weight 2 on congruence subgroups of the modular group. We prove an explicit version of Beilinson's theorem for the modular curve X_1(N). When N is prime, we deduce that the…

Let A be a subset of the primes. Let \delta_P(N) = \frac{|\{n\in A: n\leq N\}|}{|\{\text{$n$ prime}: n\leq N\}|}. We prove that, if \delta_P(N)\geq C \frac{\log \log \log N}{(\log \log N)^{1/3}} for N\geq N_0, where C and N_0 are absolute…

Let $\mathcal{L}(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_n n^{-s}$ be an $L$-function in the Selberg class, and $q_{\mathcal{L}}$ its conductor. Let $\ell_0(\mathcal{L})$ be the constant term of the Laurent expansion of $\mathcal{L}'/\mathcal{L}$ at…

For cofinite Kleinian groups, with finite-dimensional unitary representations, we derive the Selberg trace formula. As an application we define the corresponding Selberg zeta-function and compute its divisor, thus generalizing results of…

The open problem of determining the exact value of the $n$-th linear polarization constant $c_n$ of $\R^n$ has received considerable attention over the past few years. This paper makes a contribution to the subject by providing a new lower…

It is known that the Selberg zeta function for the modular group has an expression in terms of the class numbers and the fundamental units of the indefinite binary quadratic forms. In the present paper, we generalize such a expression to…

Let $U\in U(N)$ be a random unitary matrix of size $N$, distributed with respect to the Haar measure on $U(N)$. Let $P(z)=P_U(z)$ be the characteristic polynomial of $U$. We prove that for $z$ close to the unit circle, $ \frac{P'}{P}(z) $…

Define $r_4(N)$ to be the largest cardinality of a set $A \subset \{1,\dots,N\}$ which does not contain four elements in arithmetic progression. In 1998 Gowers proved that \[ r_4(N) \ll N(\log \log N)^{-c}\] for some absolute constant…

We make explicit a result of Selberg on the argument of Dirichlet $L$-functions averaged over non-principal characters modulo a prime $q$. As a corollary, we show for all sufficiently large prime $q$ that the height of the lowest…

We give explicit upper and lower bounds on the size of the coefficients of the modular polynomials $\Phi_N$ for the elliptic $j$-function. These bounds make explicit the best previously known asymptotic bounds. We then give an explicit…

For motives associated with Fermat curves, there are elements in motivic cohomology whose regulators are written in terms of special values of generalized hypergeometric functions. Using them, we verify the Beilinson conjecture numerically…

For univalent and normalized functions $f$ the logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n(f)$ are determined by the formula $\log(f(z)/z)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}2\gamma_n(f)z^n$. In the paper \cite{Pon} the authors posed the conjecture that a locally…

The result in the title is proven, using the Selberg estimate on the leading eigenvalue of the non-Euclidean Laplacian, and the method of conformal volumes of Li and Yau.

We obtain global explicit numerical bounds, with best possible constants, for the differences $\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k\leq n}\omega(k)-\log\log n$ and$ \frac{1}{n}\sum_{k\leq n}\Omega(k)-\log\log n$, where $\omega(k)$ and $\Omega(k)$ refer to…

Let $S\subset\text{GL}_n(\mathbb Z)$ be a finite symmetric set. We show that if the Zariski closure of $\Gamma=\langle S\rangle$ is a product of $\text{SL}_d$ or a special affine linear group, then the diameter of the Cayley graph…

We prove that several versions of the Tietze extension theorem for functions with moduli of uniform continuity are equivalent to WKL_0 over RCA_0. This confirms a conjecture of Giusto and Simpson that was also phrased as a question in…

Let $f$ be a holomorphic, or even meromorphic, function on the unit disc. Plessner's theorem then says that, for almost every boundary point $\zeta $, either (i) $f$ has a finite nontangential limit at $\zeta $, or (ii) the image $f(S)$ of…

Let $\pi S(t)$ denote the argument of the Riemann zeta-function, $\zeta(s)$, at the point $s=\frac{1}{2}+it$. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we present two proofs of the bound $$ |S(t)| \leq \left(\tfrac{1}{4} + o(1) \right)\tfrac{\log…

Brumer and Kramer gave bounds on local conductor exponents for an abelian variety $A/\mathbb Q$ in terms of the dimension of $A$ and the localization prime $p$. Here we give improved bounds in the case that $A$ has maximal real…
