Let N be a positive integer and let f be a newform of weight 2 on \Gamma_0(N). In earlier joint work with K. Ribet and W. Stein, we introduced the notions of the modular number and the congruence number of the quotient abelian variety A_f…

We report on a systematic computation of weight one cuspidal eigenforms for the group $\Gamma_1(N)$ in characteristic zero and in characteristic $p>2$. Perhaps the most surprising result was the existence of a mod 199 weight~1 cusp form of…

We give conditions under which a self-dual holomorphic cusp form is determined up to scalar multiplication by the signs of its Fourier coefficients.

We prove some new cases of local--global compatibility for the Galois representations associated to Hilbert modular forms of low weight (that is, partial weight one).

Using half-integral weight modular forms we give a criterion for the existence of real quadratic $p$-rational fields. For $p=5$ we prove the existence of infinitely many real quadratic $p$-rational fields.

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…

The theory of Topological Modular Forms suggests the existence of deformation invariants for two-dimensional supersymmetric field theories that are more refined than the standard elliptic genus. In this note we give a physical definition of…

For an $L^2$-normalized holomorphic newform $f$ of weight $k$ on a hyperbolic surface of volume $V$ attached to an Eichler order of squarefree level in an indefinite quaternion algebra over $\mathbb{Q}$, we prove the sup-norm estimate \[ \|…

We prove a non-vanishing result of modular L-values with quadratic twists, where the quadratic discriminants are in a short interval. Using this fact and Waldspurger's theorem, we improve the results of Balog-Ono[The chebotarev density…

We prove new modularity lifting theorems for p-adic Galois representations in situations where the methods of Wiles and Taylor--Wiles do not apply. Previous generalizations of these methods have been restricted to situations where the…

We show, for levels of the form $N = p^a q^b N'$ with $N'$ squarefree, that in weights $k \geq 4$ every cusp form $f \in \mathcal{S}_k(N)$ is a linear combination of products of certain Eisenstein series of lower weight. In weight $k=2$ we…

A modular grid is a pair of sequences $(f_m)_m$ and $(g_n)_n$ of weakly holomorphic modular forms such that for almost all $m$ and $n$, the coefficient of $q^n$ in $f_m$ is the negative of the coefficient of $q^m$ in $g_n$. Zagier proved…

A new upper bound is given for the dimension of the space of holomorphic cusp forms of weight one and prime level $q$: $$ \hbox{dim}\, S_1(q) << q^{11/12} \log^4{q} $$ with an absolute implied constant.

Let $F$ be an arbitrary totally real field. Under weak conditions we prove the existence of certain Eisenstein congruences between parallel weight $k \geq 3$ Hilbert eigenforms of level $\mathfrak{mp}$ and Hilbert Eisenstein series of level…

We show that if F is a totally real field in which p splits completely and f is a mod p Hilbert modular form with parallel weight 2<k<p, which is totally ordinary at p and has tamely ramified Galois representation at all primes dividing p,…

This brief note only contains a modest contribution: we just fix some inaccuracies in the proof of the prime level weight 2 case of Serre's conjecture given in Khare's preprint "On Serre's modularity conjecture for 2-dimensional mod p…

Let f be a newform of weight 2k-2 and level 1. In this paper we provide evidence for the Bloch-Kato conjecture for modular forms. We demonstrate an implication that under suitable hypothesis if a prime divides the algebraic part of L(k,f),…

We explain the basic ideas, describe with proofs the main results, and demonstrate the effectiveness, of an evolving theory of vector-valued modular forms (vvmf). To keep the exposition concrete, we restrict here to the special case of the…

Given a weight 2 and level p^2 modular form f, we construct two weight 3/2 modular forms (possibly zero) of level 4p^2 and non trivial character mapping to f via the Shimura correspondence. Then we relate the coefficients of the constructed…

If a $p$-adic Galois representation $\rho_{f,\nu}:\Gamma_{\mathbb Q} \to \GL_2(E_{f,\nu})$ attached to some eigenform $f$ is residually reducible it will have 2 non-isomorphic reductions, which have the same semi-simplification. In this…
