Let $F \in S_{k_1}(\Gamma^{(2)}(N_1))$ and $G \in S_{k_2}(\Gamma^{(2)}(N_2))$ be two Siegel cusp forms over the congruence subgroups $\Gamma^{(2)}(N_1)$ and $\Gamma^{(2)}(N_2)$ respectively. Assume that they are Hecke eigenforms in…

This thesis studies modular forms from a classical and adelic viewpoint. We use this interplay to obtain results about the arithmetic of the Fourier coefficients of modular forms and their generalisations. In Chapter 2, we compute lower…

Let $E/\mathbb Q$ be an elliptic curve, and denote by $N(p)$ the number of $\mathbb{F}_p$-points of the reduction modulo $p$ of $E$. A conjecture of Koblitz, refined by Zywina, states that the number of primes $p \leq X$ at which $N(p)$ is…

Let $U(p)$ denote the Atkin operator of prime index $p$. Honda and Kaneko proved infinite families of congruences of the form $f|U(p) \equiv 0 \pmod{p}$ for weakly holomorphic modular forms of low weight and level and primes $p$ in certain…

For a prime ideal $\mathfrak{P}$ of the ring of integers of a number field $K$, we give a general definition of $\mathfrak{P}$-adic continued fraction, which also includes classical definitions of continued fractions in the field of…

Fix a prime number p and choose, once and for all, an embedding of the algebraic closure of Q into Qp. Let k and N be integers, and suppose N is not divisible by p. If f is a modular form of weight k, level N, and trivial character which is…

For a rational prime $p \geq 3$ we show that a $p$-ordinary modular eigenform $f$ of weight $k\geq 2$, with $p$-adic Galois representation $\rho_f$, mod ${p^m}$ reductions $\rho_{f,m}$, and with complex multiplication (CM), is characterized…

The well-known Landau's theorem states that, for any positive integer $k$, there are finitely many isomorphism classes of finite groups with exactly $k$ (conjugacy) classes. We study variations of this theorem for $p$-regular classes as…

In this article, we estimate the density of the set of primes $p$ such that the $p$-th Hecke eigenvalue of an Ikeda lift is divisible by a fixed positive integer. One of the main ingredients involves the study of abelian subfields of fixed…

Using the link between mod $p$ Galois representations of $\qu$ and mod $p$ modular forms established by Serre's Conjecture, we compute, for every prime $p\leq 1999$, a lower bound for the number of isomorphism classes of continuous Galois…

For a half integral weight modular form $f$ we study the signs of the Fourier coefficients $a(n)$. If $f$ is a Hecke eigenform of level $ N$ with real Nebentypus character, and $t$ is a fixed square-free positive integer with $a(t)\neq 0$,…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field of residue characteristic $p$, and let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be its residue field. Let $\mathcal{H}^{(1)}_{\mathbb{F}_q}$ be the pro-$p$-Iwahori-Hecke algebra of the $p$-adic group…

For finitely generated subgroups $W_1, \ldots , W_t$ of $\mathbb{Q}^{\times}$, integers $k_1, \ldots , k_t$, a Galois extension $F$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ and a union of conjugacy classes $C \subset \text{Gal}(F/\mathbb{Q})$, we develop methods…

We prove generalized Gaffney inequalities and the discrete compactness for finite element differential forms on $s$-regular domains, including general Lipschitz domains. In computational electromagnetism, special cases of these results have…

Let $G$ be a reductive group over a non-archimedean local field $F$ of residue characteristic $p$. We prove that the Hecke algebras of $G(F)$ with coefficients in a ${\mathbb Z}_{\ell}$-algebra $R$ for $\ell$ not equal to $p$ are finitely…

A well-known conjecture, often attributed to Serre, asserts that any motive over any number field has infinitely many ordinary reductions (in the sense that the Newton polygon coincides with the Hodge polygon). In the case of Hilbert…

In this paper we study special bases of certain spaces of half-integral weight weakly holomorphic modular forms. We establish a criterion for the integrality of Fourier coefficients of such bases. By using recursive relations between Hecke…

For every finite group $H$ and every finite $H$-module $A$, we determine the subgroup of negligible classes in $H^2(H,A)$, in the sense of Serre, over fields with enough roots of unity. As a consequence, we show that for every odd prime…

We state a conjecture on the reduction modulo the defining characteristic of a unipotent representation of a finite reductive group.

One of the basic questions in number theory is to determine semi-simple l-adic representations of the absolute Galois group of a number field. In this paper, we discuss the question for two dimensional representations over a totally real…
