We construct a two-level weighted TQFT whose structure coefficents are equivariant intersection numbers on moduli spaces of admissible covers. Such a structure is parallel (and strictly related) to the local Gromov-Witten theory of curves…

We exhibit examples of geometrically simple abelian surfaces $A/\mathbb{Q}$ with conductor bounded by $(10\,000)^2$ whose Tate--Shafarevich groups contain a subgroup isomorphic to $(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^2$ for each $p = 5, 7, 11, 13$. To…

In their work, Serre and Swinnerton-Dyer study the congruence properties of the Fourier coefficients of modular forms. We examine similar congruence properties, but for the coefficients of a modified Taylor expansion about a CM point…

It is known that the L-function of an elliptic curve defined over Q is given by the Mellin transform of a modular form of weight 2. Does that modular form have anything to do with string theory? In this article, we address a question along…

We study modular forms of some congruence subgroups. In this paper, we treat the cases level is 2-power, 3-power or 5. Structures of graded rings and many identities of infinite sum or infinite product are given. Theory of rational (1/3,…

We show that modular forms of fractional weights on principal congruence subgroups of odd levels, which are found by T. Ibukiyama, naturally appear as characters being multiplied $\eta^{c_{\text{eff}}}$ of the so-called minimal models of…

We show that if a modular cuspidal eigenform $f$ of weight $2k$ is $2$-adically close to an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$, which has a cyclic rational $4$-isogeny, then $n$-th Fourier coefficient of $f$ is non-zero in the short interval…

In this paper we describe a method for computing a basis for the space of weight $2$ cusp forms invariant under a non-split Cartan subgroup of prime level $p$. As an application we compute, for certain small values of $p$, explicit…

Using the theory of Stienstra and Beukers, we prove various elementary congruences for the numbers \sum \binom{2i_1}{i_1}^2\binom{2i_2}{i_2}^2...\binom{2i_k}{i_k}^2, where k,n \in N, and the summation is over the integers i_1, i_2, ...i_k…

We study congruences modulo powers of a prime $p$ between pairs of $p$-new modular Hecke eigenforms of level $\Gamma_0(p)$ and same weight $k$. Based on explicit computations, we conjecture that every such eigenform $f$ admits a twin to…

We show that there are primitive holomorphic modular forms f of weight two and arbitrary large level N such that $|f(z)| \gg N^{1/4}$ for some point z. Thereby we disprove a folklore conjecture that the sup-norm of such forms would be as…

We study the rational Bianchi newforms (weight 2, trivial character, with rational Hecke eigenvalues) in the LMFDB that are not associated to elliptic curves, but instead to abelian surfaces with quaternionic multiplication. Two of these…

We study $N$-congruences between quadratic twists of elliptic curves. If $N$ has exactly two distinct prime factors we show that these are parametrised by double covers of certain modular curves. In many, but not all cases, the modular…

Let $f=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a(n)q^{n}\in S_{k+1/2}(N,\chi_{0})$ be a non-zero cuspidal Hecke eigenform of weight $k+\frac{1}{2}$ and the trivial nebentypus $\chi_{0}$ where the Fourier coefficients $a(n)$ are real. Bruinier and Kohnen…

Let F be a totally real field of degree d and let p be an odd prime which is totally split in F. We define and study one-dimensional partial eigenvarieties interpolating Hilbert modular forms over F with weight varying only at a single…

Let $f$ and $g$ be two different newforms without complex multiplication having the same coefficient field. The main result of the present article proves that a congruence between the Galois representations attached to $f$ and to $g$ for a…

This article is concerned with the Fourier coefficients of cusp forms (not necessarily eigenforms) of half-integer weight lying in the plus space. We give a soft proof that there are infinitely many fundamental discriminants $D$ such that…

The study of arithmetic properties of coefficients of modular forms $f(\tau) = \sum a(n)q^n$ has a rich history, including deep results regarding congruences in arithmetic progressions. Recently, work of C.-S. Radu, S. Ahlgren, B. Kim, N.…

We classify newforms with rational Fourier coefficients and complex multiplication for fixed weight up to twisting. Under the extended Riemann hypothesis for odd real Dirichlet characters, these newforms are finite in number. We produce…

We provide a simple and new induction based treatment of the problem of distinguishing cusp forms from the growth of the Fourier coefficients of modular forms. Our approach gives the best possible ranges of the weights for this problem, and…
