Let $N$ and $p$ be primes such that $p$ divides the numerator of $\frac{N-1}{12}$. In this paper, we study the rank $g_p$ of the completion of the Hecke algebra acting on cuspidal modular forms of weight $2$ and level $\Gamma_0(N)$ at the…
In a 1987 letter, Serre proves that the systems of Hecke eigenvalues arising from mod $p$ modular forms (of fixed level $\Gamma(N)$ coprime to $p$, and any weight $k$) are the same as those arising from functions $\Omega(N) \to \bar{\mathbb…
Let $\pi(x;\gamma_1,\gamma_2)$ denote the number of primes $p$ with $p\leqslant x$ and $p=\lfloor n^{1/\gamma_1}_1\rfloor=\lfloor n^{1/\gamma_2}_2\rfloor$, where $\lfloor t\rfloor$ denotes the integer part of $t\in\mathbb{R}$ and…
We construct 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 basis encodes the values of the ordinary partition function p(n). We…
Let $\pi$ be a Hecke-Maass cusp form for $\mathrm{SL(3, \mathbb{Z})}$ and $f$ be a holomorphic cusp form for $\mathrm{SL(2,\mathbb{Z})}$ of weight $k$ or a Hecke-Maass cusp form corresponding to the Laplacian eigenvalue $1/4+k^2$, $k\geq…
In this paper, we use techniques of Conrey, Farmer and Wallace to find spaces of modular forms $S_k(\Gamma_0(N))$ where all of the eigenspaces have Hecke eigenvalues defined over $\F_p$, and give a heuristic indicating that these are all…
Let p be a prime number and f an overconvergent p-adic automorphic form on a definite unitary group which is split at p. Assume that f is of "classical weight" and that its Galois representation is crystalline at places dividing p, then f…

Let $(\lambda_f(n))_{n\geqslant1}$ be the Hecke eigenvalues of a holomorphic cusp form $f$. We prove that the exponent of distribution of $\lambda_f*1$ in arithmetic progressions is as large as $\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{70}$ when the modulus…
We continue the study of strong, weak, and $dc$-weak eigenforms introduced by Chen, Kiming, and Wiese. We completely determine all systems of Hecke eigenvalues of level $1$ modulo $128$, showing there are finitely many. This extends results…
Let F be a Hecke-Maass cusp form for the group SL(4, Z) with Laplace eigenvalue lambda. Assume that F satisfies the Ramanujan conjecture at infinity (this is satisfied by almost all cusp forms). We show a power-saving sup-norm bound in…
Suppose that $n$ is $0$ or $4$ modulo $6$. We show that there are infinitely many primes of the form $p^2 + nq^2$ with both $p$ and $q$ prime, and obtain an asymptotic for their number. In particular, when $n = 4$ we verify the `Gaussian…
Recall that a Maass wave form on the full modular group Gamma=PSL(2,Z) is a smooth gamma-invariant function u from the upper half-plane H = {x+iy | y>0} to C which is small as y \to \infty and satisfies Delta u = lambda u for some lambda…
Let $\varepsilon>0$ be a fixed small constant, ${\mathbb F}_p$ be the finite field of $p$ elements for prime $p$. We consider additive and multiplicative problems in ${\mathbb F}_p$ that involve intervals and arbitrary sets. Representative…
Let $F$ be an Ikeda lift, $\lambda_F(m)$ be the eigenvalue corresponding to the Hecke operator $T(m)$. We show that $\lambda_F(p)$ is positive for all large enough primes $p$. This is proved for Ikeda lifts of all genus. The second result…
We describe numerical calculations which examine the Phillips-Sarnak conjecture concerning the disappearance of cusp forms on a noncompact finite volume Riemann surface $S$ under deformation of the surface. Our calculations indicate that if…
Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded $C^1$ domain and $p>1$. For $\alpha>0$, define the quantity \[ \Lambda(\alpha)=\inf_{u\in W^{1,p}(\Omega),\, u\not\equiv 0} \Big(\int_\Omega |\nabla u|^p\,\mathrm{d}x - \alpha…
