We give an asymptotic evaluation for the number of automorphic characters of an algebraic torus $T$ with bounded analytic conductor. The analytic conductor which we use is defined via the local Langlands correspondence for tori by choosing…

We discuss the computation of coefficients of the L-series associated to a hyperelliptic curve over Q of genus at most 3, using point counting, generic group algorithms, and p-adic methods.

The modularity of an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb Q$ can be expressed either as an analytic statement that the $L$-function is the Mellin transform of a modular form, or as a geometric statement that $E$ is a quotient of a modular curve…

In part I we reduced the arithmetic (characteristic zero) version of the P \not \subseteq NP conjecture to the problem of showing that a variety associated with the complexity class NP cannot be embedded in the variety associated the…

Following the prequel work \cite{VO3}, we prove a generalization of "Mazur's conjecture" for $L$-functions of elliptic curves in abelian extensions of imaginary quadratic fields, including the assertion that the Mordell-Weil rank of an…

A major theme in the theory of $p$-adic deformations of automorphic forms is how $p$-adic $L$-functions over eigenvarieties relate to the geometry of these eigenvarieties. In this article we prove results in this vein for the ordinary part…

Let X=H\G be a homogeneous spherical variety for a split reductive group G over the integers o of a p-adic field k, and K=G(o) a hyperspecial maximal compact subgroup of G=G(k). We compute eigenfunctions ("spherical functions") on X=X(k)…

In this note a prediction of an algebraic mirror construction is checked for elliptic curves of Brieskorn-Pham type via number theoretic methods. It is shown that the modular forms associated to the Hasse-Weil L-series of mirror pairs of…

Let $G$ denote a finite group and $\pi: Z \to Y$ a Galois covering of smooth projective curves with Galois group $G$. For every subgroup $H$ of $G$ there is a canonical action of the corresponding Hecke algebra $\mathbb{Q}[H \backslash…

In recent years, Rogers and Zudilin developed a method to write $L$-values attached to elliptic curves as periods. In order to apply this method to a broader collection of $L$-values, we study Eisenstein series and determine their Fourier…

Let $A$ and $B$ be abelian varieties defined over the function field $k(S)$ of a smooth algebraic variety $S/k.$ We establish criteria, in terms of restriction maps to subvarieties of $S,$ for existence of various important classes of…

In this paper, we investigate the derivatives of L-functions, in particular, the Riemann zeta function, the Hasse-Weil L-function, the Rankin L-function and the Artin L-function, and survey the relations between the derivatives of…

We present a streamlined account of a recent theorem on the classification of the $L$-functions of degree 2 and conductor 1 from the extended Selberg class. We also present a more general new result dealing with functional equations…

We stduy $L^p-L^r$ restriction estimates for algebraic varieties $V$ in the case when restriction operators act on radial functions in the finite field setting. We show that if the varieties $V$ lie in odd dimensional vector spaces over…

In this note we discuss techniques for determining the automorphism group of a genus $g$ hyperelliptic curve $\X_g$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic zero. The first technique uses the classical $GL_2…

This is an expository paper which gives a simple arithmetic introduction to the conjectures of Weil and Dwork concerning zeta functions of algebraic varieties over finite fields. A number of further open questions are raised.

Let $\mathbf{k}$ be a differential field and let $[A]\,:\,Y'=A\,Y$ be a linear differential system where $A\in\mathrm{Mat}(n\,,\,\mathbf{k})$. We say that $A$ is in a reduced form if $A\in\mathfrak{g}(\bar{\mathbf{k}})$ where $\mathfrak{g}$…

Dwork's conjecture, now proven by Wan, states that unit root L-functions "coming from geometry" are p-adic meromorphic. In this paper we study the p-adic variation of a family of unit root L-functions coming from a suitable family of toric…

We give a full description of the functions $F$ of degree 2 and conductor 1 in the general framework of the extended Selberg class. This is performed by means of a new numerical invariant $\chi_F$, which is easily computed from the data of…

This article explains how to practically compute L-invariants of p-new eigenforms using p-adic L-series and exceptional zero phenomena. As proof of the utility, we compiled a data set consisting of over 150,000 L-invariants. We analyze…
