The purpose of this article is to generalize some results of Vatsal on studying the special values of Rankin-Selberg L-functions in an anticyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$-extension. Let $g$ be a cuspidal Hilbert modular form of parallel weight…

In this paper, we apply the ratio conjecture of $L$-functions to derive the lower order terms of the $1$-level density of the low-lying zeros of a family quadratic Hecke $L$-functions in the Gaussian field. Up to the first lower order term,…

The $p$-ary function $f(x)$ mapping $\mathrm{GF}(p^{4k})$ to $\mathrm{GF}(p)$ and given by $f(x)={\rm Tr}_{4k}\big(ax^d+bx^2\big)$ with $a,b\in\mathrm{GF}(p^{4k})$ and $d=p^{3k}+p^{2k}-p^k+1$ is studied with the respect to its exponential…

The class of Lambert series generating functions (LGFs) denoted by $L_{\alpha}(q)$ formally enumerate the generalized sum-of-divisors functions, $\sigma_{\alpha}(n) = \sum_{d|n} d^{\alpha}$, for all integers $n \geq 1$ and fixed real-valued…

We establish pointwise convergence for nonconventional ergodic averages taken along $\lfloor p^c\rfloor$, where $p$ is a prime number and $c\in(1,4/3)$ on $L^r$, $r\in(1,\infty)$. In fact, we consider averages along more general sequences…

Following up a previous article of the authors which studies the interpolation of certain anticyclotomic $p$-adic $L$-functions associated to quaternionic modular forms in a Hida family, we extend the work of F. Castella on the…

We discuss exponential sums on affine space from the point of view of Dwork's p-adic cohomology theory

We prove a factorization formula for the Taylor series coefficients of a zero of a polynomial as a function of the polynomial's coefficients. This result extends to more general functions which we call "complex-exponent polynomials". To…

We describe some new general constructions of $p$-adic $L$-functions attached to certain arithmetically defined complex $L$-functions coming from motives over $\bold Q$ with coefficiens in a number field $T$, with $[T:\bold Q]<\infty$.…

In this paper, motivated by the work of Chapman, Vsemirnov and Sun et al., we investigate some arithmetic properties of the generalized Legendre matrices over finite fields. For example, letting $a_1,\cdots,a_{(q-1)/2}$ be all non-zero…

We propose to associate to a modular form (an infinite number of) complex valued functions on the $p$-adic numbers $\mathbb{Q}_p$ for each prime $p$. We elaborate on the correspondence and study its consequence in terms of the Mellin…

We refine and extend previous constructions of $p$-adic $L$-functions for Rankin-Selberg convolutions on $\GL(n)\times\GL(n-1)$ for regular algebraic representations over totally real fields. We also prove an intrinsic functional equation…

Let $f$ be a real polynomial with irrational leading co-efficient. In this article, we derive distribution of $f(n)$ modulo one for all $n$ with at least three divisors and also we study distribution of $f(n)$ for all square-free $n$ with…

In this paper, we consider sums of values of degenerate falling factorials and give a probabilistic proof of a recurrence relation for them. This may be viewed as a degenerate version of the recent probabilistic proofs on sums of powers of…

For a given l-adic sheaf F on a commutative algebraic group over a finite field k and an integer r we define the r-th local norm L-function of F at a point t in G(k) and prove its rationality. This function gives information on the sum of…

In this paper we investigate growth properties and the zero distribution of polynomials attached to arithmetic functions $g$ and $h$, where $g$ is normalized, of moderate growth, and $0<h(n) \leq h(n+1)$. We put $P_0^{g,h}(x)=1$ and…

In this thesis we show that the partial sums of the Maclaurin series for a certain class of entire functions possess scaling limits in various directions in the complex plane. In doing so we obtain information about the zeros of the partial…

We study sums of Dirichlet characters over polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ with a prescribed number of irreducible factors. Our main results are explicit formulae for these sums in terms of zeros of Dirichlet L-functions. We also exhibit…

Let A be an abelian variety defined over a number field k and let F be a finite Galois extension of k. Let p be a prime number. Then under certain not-too-stringent conditions on A and F we compute explicitly the algebraic part of the…

We introduce a $p$-adic $L$-function $\mathscr L_{A/L}$ associated to an ordinary elliptic curve $A$ over a global function field $K$ of characteristic $p$ together with a $\mathbb{Z}_{p}^{d}$-extension $L/K$, $d=0$ allowed, unramified…
