In this paper we demonstrate that the alternative form, derived by us in an earlier paper, of the $n$-level densities for eigenvalues of matrices from the classical compact group $USp(2N)$ is far better suited for comparison with…

The central concept in the harmonic analysis of a compact group is the completeness of Peter-Weyl orthonormal basis as constructed from the matrix coefficients of a maximal set of irreducible unitary representations of the group, leading…

We consider sign changes of Fourier coefficients of Hecke-Maass cusp forms for the group $\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb Z)$. When the underlying form is self-dual, we show that there are $\gg_\varepsilon X^{5/6-\varepsilon}$ sign changes among the…

We introduce a new type of convergence in probability theory, which we call ``mod-Gaussian convergence''. It is directly inspired by theorems and conjectures, in random matrix theory and number theory, concerning moments of values of…

We describe numerical calculations which examine the Phillips-Sarnak conjecture concerning the disappearance of cusp forms on a noncompact finite volume Riemann surface $S$ under deformation of the surface. Our calculations indicate that if…

We use weighted polynomial approximation to prove the existence of a compact set K with non-empty interior and a function f is dense in the space A(K) of all continuous functions on K that are holomorphic in the interior of K, endowed with…

We show that if the zeros of an automorphic $L$-function are weighted by the central value of the $L$-function or a quadratic imaginary base change, then for certain families of holomorphic GL(2) newforms, it has the effect of changing the…

In this paper we apply the $L$-function Ratios Conjecture to compute the one-level density for a symplectic family of $L$-functions attached to Hecke characters of infinite order. When the support of the Fourier transform of the…

Let $L(s,f)$ be an $L$-function associated to a primitive (holomorphic or Maass) cusp form $f$ on GL(2) over $\mathbb{Q}$. Combining mean-value estimates of Montgomery and Vaughan with a method of Ramachandra, we prove a formula for the…

In recent work with Bober, Booker, Lee, Seymour-Howell, and Zubrilina, we proved murmuration behavior for Maass forms in the eigenvalue aspect and for modular forms in the weight aspect. Both used an approach based on the Selberg trace…

An automorphic self dual L-function has the super-positivity property if all derivatives of the completed L-function at the central point $s=1/2$ are non-negative and all derivatives at a real point $s > 1/2$ are positive. In this paper we…

We define L-functions for meromorphic modular forms that are regular at cusps, and use them to: (i) find new relationships between Hurwitz class numbers and traces of singular moduli, (ii) establish predictions from the physics of…

In this paper, we study the one level density of low-lying zeros of a family of quadratic Hecke $L$-functions to prime moduli over the Gaussian field under the generalized Riemann hypothesis (GRH) and the ratios conjecture. As a corollary,…

In the function field setting with a fixed characteristic, it was proven by the second and third authors that the values $\log \big|L\big(\frac12, \chi_D\big)\big|$ as $D$ varies over monic and square-free polynomials are asymptotically…

Let $ G $ be a connected semisimple Lie group with finite center. We prove a formula for the inner product of two cuspidal automorphic forms on $ G $ that are given by Poincar\'e series of $ K $-finite matrix coefficients of an integrable…

Building on earlier work introducing the notion of "mod-Gaussian" convergence of sequences of random variables, which arises naturally in Random Matrix Theory and number theory, we discuss the analogue notion of "mod-Poisson" convergence.…

We consider N-tensor powers of a positive Hermitian line bundle L over a non-compact complex manifold X. In the compact case, B. Shiffman and S. Zelditch proved that the zeros of random sections become asymptotically uniformly distributed…

Divergence functions of a metric space estimate the length of a path connecting two points $A$, $B$ at distance $\le n$ avoiding a large enough ball around a third point $C$. We characterize groups with non-linear divergence functions as…

We investigate quantum group generalizations of various density results from Fourier analysis on compact groups. In particular, we establish the density of characters in the space of fixed points of the conjugation action on…
