Let $\varphi(\tau)=\eta((\tau+1)/2)^2/\sqrt{2\pi}e^\frac{\pi i}{4}\eta(\tau+1)$ where $\eta(\tau)$ is the Dedekind eta-function. We show that if $\tau_0$ is an imaginary quadratic number with $\mathrm{Im}(\tau_0)>0$ and $m$ is an odd…

We survey a number of different methods for computing $L(\chi,1-k)$ for a Dirichlet character $\chi$, with particular emphasis on quadratic characters. The main conclusion is that when $k$ is not too large (for instance $k\le100$) the best…

We prove that certain closable derivations on the GNS Hilbert space associated with a non-tracial weight on a von Neumann algebra give rise to GNS-symmetric semigroups of contractive completely positive maps on the von Neumann algebra.

Recently Tewari and van Willigenburg constructed modules of the 0-Hecke algebra that are mapped to the quasisymmetric Schur functions by the quasisymmetric characteristic and decomposed them into a direct sum of certain submodules. We show…

The primary aim of this thesis is to investigate metrics which are induced by a differential form and arise as a critical point of Hitchin's variational principle. Firstly, we investigate metrics associated with the structure group PSU(3)…

We prove a subconvexity bound in the conductor aspect for $L(s,f,\chi)$ where $f$ is a half integer weight modular form. This $L$-function has analytic continuation and functional equation, but no Euler product. Due to the lack of an Euler…

Consider $N \geq 1$, $k \geq 2$, and $\chi$ a Dirichlet character modulo $N$ such that $\chi(-1) = (-1)^k$. For any bound $B$, one can show that $\dim S_k(\Gamma_0(N),\chi) \le B$ for only finitely many triples $(N,k,\chi)$. It turns out…

The space of toroidal automorphic forms was introduced by Zagier in the 1970s: a GL_2-automorphic form is toroidal if it has vanishing constant Fourier coefficients along all embedded non-split tori. The interest in this space stems…

Let $D$ be an odd square-free positive integer and $C$ a divisor of $D$. For any quadratic character $\chi$ modulo $C$, we prove that the $\chi$-part of the group $J_0(DC)_\text{tor}$ of torsion points of $J_0(DC)$ coincides with the…

Serre and Stark found a basis for the space of modular forms of weight 1/2 in terms of theta series. In this paper, we generalize their result - under certain mild restrictions on the level and character - to the case of weight 1/2 Hilbert…

We study the coefficients of a natural basis for the space of weak harmonic Maass forms of weight $5/2$ on the full modular group. The non-holomorphic part of the first element of this infinite basis encodes the values of the partition…

We study the meromorphic modular forms defined as sums of -k (k>1) powers of integral quadratic polynomials with negative discriminant. These functions can be viewed as meromorphic analogues of the holomorphic modular forms defined in the…

We estimate the sums \[ \sum_{c\leq x} \frac{S(m,n,c,\chi)}{c}, \] where the $S(m,n,c,\chi)$ are Kloosterman sums of half-integral weight on the modular group. Our estimates are uniform in $m$, $n$, and $x$ in analogy with Sarnak and…

The formal deformation space of a supersingular Barsotti-Tate group over of dimension two equipped with an action of Z_{p^2} is known to be isomorphic to the formal spectrum of a power series ring in two variables. If one chooses an extra…

The aim of this paper is to describe efficient algorithms for computing Maass waveforms on subgroups of the modular group PSL(2,Z) with general multiplier systems and real weight. A selection of numerical results obtained with these…

Based on the values of the Weierstrass elliptic function $\wp(z|\tau)$ at $z=\pi\tau/2$, $(\pi+\pi\tau)/{2}, (\pi+\pi\tau)/{4},(\pi+2\pi\tau)/{4}$ and the theory of modular forms on the arithmetic group $\Gamma_0(2)$, we decompose…

For a positive integer k and an arbitrary integer h, the Dedekind sum s(h,k) was first studied by Dedekind because of the prominent role it plays in the transformation theory of the Dedekind eta-function, which is a modular form of weight…

In this article, for $n\geq 2$, we compute asymptotic, qualitative, and quantitative estimates of the Bergman kernel of Picard modular cusp forms associated to torsion-free, cocompact subgroups of $\mathrm{SU}\big((n,1),\mathbb{C}\big)$.…

Given the L-series of a half-integral weight cusp form, we construct a cohomology class with coefficients in a finite dimensional vector space in a way that parallels the Eichler cohomology in the integral weight case. We also define a lift…

Let $\ell\ge5$ be an odd prime and $j, s$ be positive integers. We study the distribution of the coefficients of integer and half-integral weight modular forms modulo odd positive integer $M$. As a consequence, we prove that for each…
