We show that a weakly holomorphic modular function can be written as a sum of modular units of higher level. We further find a necessary and sufficient condition for a Siegel modular function of degree $g$ to have neither zero nor pole on…

Let $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character modulo a prime~$p$. We give explicit upper bounds on $q_1<q_2<\dots<q_n$, the $n$ smallest prime nonresidues of $\chi$. More precisely, given $n_0$ and $p_0$ there exists an absolute constant…

We study irreducible restrictions from modules over symmetric groups to subgroups. We get reduction results which substantially restrict the classes of subgroups and modules for which this is possible. Such results are known when the…

We primarily investigate congruences modulo $p$ for finite sums of the form $\sum_k\binom{rk}{k}x^k/k$ over the ranges $0<k<p$ and $0<k<p/r$, where $p$ is a prime larger than the positive integer $r$. Here $x$ is an indeterminate, thus…

We develop a new theory of $L$-series based on replacing Dirichlet characters mod $N$ by symmetric functions mod $N$ in order to calculate explicitly the sums of infinite series more closely related to $\zeta(2n+1)$, specifically…

Hybrid character sums are an important class of exponential sums which have nice applications in coding theory and sequence design. Let $\gf_{p^m}$ be the finite field with $p^m$ elements for a prime $p$ and a positive integer $m$. Let…

Modular composition is the problem of computing the coefficient vector of the polynomial $f(g(x)) \bmod h(x)$, given as input the coefficient vectors of univariate polynomials $f$, $g$, and $h$ over an underlying field $\mathbb{F}$. While…

We prove non-trivial bounds for general bilinear forms in hyper-Kloosterman sums when the sizes of both variables may be below the P\'olya-Vinogradov range. We then derive applications to the second moment of holomorphic cusp forms twisted…

It is shown that the Gelfand--Kirillov dimension for modules over quantum Laurent polynomials is tensor-minimal. The Brookes--Groves invariant associated with a tensor product of modules is determined. It is also shown that there can be…

We describe two new algorithms for the efficient and rigorous computation of Dirichlet L-functions and their use to verify the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis for all such L-functions associated with primitive characters of modulus…

We study the Poincare polynomials of isotypic components of a natural family of graded GL(n)-modules supported in the closure of a nilpotent conjugacy class. These polynomials generalize the Kostka-Foulkes and are q-analogues of…

In this article, we investigate the conditional large values of quadratic Dirichlet character sums. We prove an Omega result for quadratic character sums under the assumption of the generalized Riemann hypothesis.

Let $\Lambda$ be an artin algebra. We are going to consider full subcategories of $\mod\Lambda$ closed under finite direct sums and under submodules with infinitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable modules. The main result asserts…

We continue our investigations of bilinear sums with modular square roots and the large sieve for square moduli in our recent article "On bilinear sums with modular square roots and applications II", arXiv:2603.00768. In the present…

The simplicial volume introduced by Gromov provides a topologically accessible lower bound for the minimal volume. Lafont and Schmidt proved that the simplicial volume of closed, locally symmetric spaces of non-compact type is positive. In…

We shall introduce and study certain truncated sums of Hecke eigenvalues of $GL_2$-automorphic forms along quadratic polynomials. A power saving estimate is established and new applications to moments of critical $L$-values associated to…

Polynomials with values in an irreducible module of the symmetric group can be given the structure of a module for the rational Cherednik algebra, called a standard module. This algebra has one free parameter and is generated by…

We show that the exponent of distribution of the sequence of squarefree numbers in arithmetic progressions of prime modulus is $\geq 2/3 + 1/57$, improving a result of Prachar from 1958. Our main tool is an upper bound for certain bilinear…

In this paper, we develop machinery which makes it much easier to prove sum of squares lower bounds when the problem is symmetric under permutations of $[1,n]$ and the unsatisfiability of our problem comes from integrality arguments, i.e.…

Let $q$ be a prime power and $U$ the group of lower unitriangular matrices of order $n$ for some natural number $n$. We give a lower bound for the degrees of irreducible constituents of Andr\'{e}-Yan supercharacters and classify the…
