We prove that a Dirichlet series with a functional equation and Euler product of a particular form can only arise from a holomorphic cusp form on the Hecke congruence group $\Gamma_0(13)$. The proof does not assume a functional equation for…
This thesis contributes to the analytic theory of automorphic L-functions. We prove an approximate functional equation for the central value of the L-series attached to an irreducible cuspidal automorphic representation of GL(m) over a…
The Katz-Sarnak density conjecture states that, in the limit as the conductors tend to infinity, the behavior of normalized zeros near the central point of families of L-functions agree with the N -> oo scaling limits of eigenvalues near 1…
We evaluate asymptotically the smoothed first moment of central values of families of quadratic, cubic, quartic and sextic Hecke $L$-functions over various imaginary quadratic number fields of class number one, using the method of double…
We study sums of Hecke eigenvalues of Hecke-Maass cusp forms for the group $\mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb Z)$, with general $n\geq 3$, over certain short intervals under the assumption of the generalised Lindel\"of hypothesis and a slightly…
The goal of this article and its precursor is to demonstrate, by example, the existence of "transfer operators" betweeen relative trace formulas, which generalize the scalar transfer factors of endoscopy. These transfer operators have all…
Matrix representations of Hecke operators on classical holomorphical cusp forms and the corresponding period polynomials are well known. In this article we derive representations of Hecke operators for vector valued period functions for the…
Let $f$ be a holomorphic cusp form of even weight $k$ for the modular group $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$, which is assumed to be a common eigenfunction for all Hecke operators. For positive integer $n$, let $\text{Sym}^n(f)$ be the symmetric nth…
The Katz-Sarnak density conjecture states that the scaling limits of the distributions of zeros of families of automorphic $L$-functions agree with the scaling limits of eigenvalue distributions of classical subgroups of the unitary groups…
In this article, we derive a sub convexity estimate of Hecke eigen cusp forms associated to certain cocompact arithmetic subgroups of SL(2,R). The main result can be considered as the holomorphic version of the estimate of Hecke eigen Maass…
We consider spaces of modular forms attached to definite orthogonal groups of low even rank and nontrivial level, equipped with Hecke operators defined by Kneser neighbours. After reviewing algorithms to compute with these spaces, we…
In the study of Dirichlet series with arithmetic significance there has appeared (through the study of known examples) certain expectations, namely (i) if a functional equation and Euler product exists, then it is likely that a type of…
Let $F$ and $G$ be Siegel cusp forms for $\Sp_4(\Z)$ and weights $k_1, k_2$ respectively. Also let $F$ and $G$ be Hecke eigenforms lying in distinct eigen spaces. Further suppose that neither $F$ nor $G$ is a Saito-Kurokawa lift. In this…
We define an axiomatic class of L-functions extending the Selberg class. We show in particular that one can recast the traditional conditions of an Euler product, analytic continuation and functional equation in terms of distributional…
We present here simple trace formulas for Hecke operators $T_k(p)$ for all $p>3$ on $S_k(\Gamma_0(3))$ and $S_k(\Gamma_0(9))$, the spaces of cusp forms of weight $k$ and levels 3 and 9. These formulas can be expressed in terms of special…
In 1997, Serre proved that the eigenvalues of normalised $p$-th Hecke operator $T^{'}_p$ acting on the space of cusp forms of weight $k$ and level $N$ are equidistributed in $[-2,2]$ with respect to a measure that converge to the Sato-Tate…
Although links between values of finite field hypergeometric functions and eigenvalues of elliptic modular forms are well known, we establish in this paper that there are also connections to eigenvalues of Siegel modular forms of higher…
We compute explicitly the normal zeta functions of the Heisenberg groups $H(R)$, where $R$ is a compact discrete valuation ring of characteristic zero. These zeta functions occur as Euler factors of normal zeta functions of Heisenberg…
We study representation zeta functions of finitely generated, torsion-free nilpotent groups which are rational points of unipotent group schemes over rings of integers of number fields. Using the Kirillov orbit method and p-adic…
Deep work by Shintani in the 1970's describes Hecke $L$-functions associated to narrow ray class group characters of totally real fields $F$ in terms of what are now known as Shintani zeta functions. However, for $[F:\mathbb{Q}] = n \geq…
