We prove estimates for the Gowers uniformity norms of functions over $\Zz/p\Zz$ which are trace functions of certain $\ell$-adic sheaves, and establish in particular a strong inverse theorem for these functions.

Let $q \in \mathbb{Z} [i]$ be prime and $\chi $ be the primitive quadratic Hecke character modulo $q$. Let $\pi$ be a self-dual Hecke automorphic cusp form for $\mathrm{SL}_3 (\mathbb{Z} [i] )$ and $f$ be a Hecke cusp form for $\Gamma_0 (q)…

A prime number $p$ is said to be a Wolstenholme prime if it satisfies the congruence ${2p-1\choose p-1} \equiv 1 \,\,(\bmod{\,\,p^4})$. For such a prime $p$, we establish the expression for ${2p-1\choose p-1}\,\,(\bmod{\,\,p^8})$ given in…

Let $q$ be a prime, $P \geq 1$ and let $N_q(P)$ denote the number of rational primes $p \leq P$ that split in the imaginary quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-q})$. The first part of this paper establishes various unconditional and…

Associated to a newform $f(z)$ is a Dirichlet series $L_f(s)$ with functional equation and Euler product. Hecke showed that if the Dirichlet series $F(s)$ has a functional equation of the appropriate form, then $F(s)=L_f(s)$ for some…

In the paper, we study inequalities for the best trigonometric approximations and fractional moduli of smoothness involving the Weyl and Liouville-Gr\"unwald derivatives in $L_p$, $0<p<1$. We extend known inequalities to the whole range of…

We give coefficient formulas for antisymmetric vector-valued cusp forms with rational Fourier coefficients for the Weil representation associated to a finite quadratic module. The forms we construct always span all cusp forms in weight at…

For a prime $p\equiv 3$ $(\text{mod }4)$ and $m\ge 2$, Romik raised a question about whether the Taylor coefficients around $\sqrt{-1}$ of the classical Jacobi theta function $\theta_3$ eventually vanish modulo $p^m$. This question can be…

We prove congruences, modulo a power of a prime p, for certain finite sums involving central binomial coefficients $\binom{2k}{k}$.

We prove that the central values of additive twists of a cuspidal $L$-function define a quantum modular form in the sense of Zagier, generalizing recent results of Bettin and Drappeau. From this we deduce a reciprocity law for the twisted…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field $k$, let $p$ be an odd prime number and let $F/k$ be a cyclic extension of $p$-power degree. Under not-too-stringent hypotheses we give an interpretation of the $p$-component of the…

Let n be a positive odd integer and let p>n+1 be a prime. We mainly derive the following congruence: $$\sum_{0<i_1<...<i_n<p}(i_1/3)(-1)^{i_1}/(i_1...i_n)=0 (mod p).$$

The link between Vandiver's conjecture and Gauss sums is well known since the papers of Iwasawa (1975), Thaine (1995-1999) and Angl{\`e}s-Nuccio (2010). This conjecture is required in many subjects and we shall give such examples of…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number. We show that the modular isomorphism problem has a positive answer for finite $p$-groups whose center has index $p^3$, which is a strong contrast to the analogous situation for $p = 2$.

We prove a general result relating the shape of the Euler product of an $L$-function to the analytic properties of certain linear twists of the $L$-function itself. Then, by a sharp form of the transformation formula for linear twists, we…

Let $\|\cdot\|$ denote the minimum distance to an integer. For $0<\gamma< 1$, $\theta>0$ and $(\alpha, \beta) \in \mathbb{R} \setminus \{0\} \times \mathbb{R}$ we study when \begin{equation*} \|\alpha p^{\gamma}+\beta \|<p^{-\theta},…

Given a prime p and a positive integer m satisfying a certain inequality, the converse of Wolstenholme's Theorem is shown to hold for the product mp^k where k is any positive integer, generalizing a result by Helou and Terjanian.

For a prime number $p$ and integer $x$ with $\gcd(x,p)=1$ let $\overline{x}$ denote the multiplicative inverse of $x$ modulo $p.$ In the present paper we are interested in the problem of distribution modulo $p$ of the sequence $$…

In this paper, we study the inversion formula for recovering a function from its windowed Fourier transform. We give a rigorous proof for an inversion formula which is known in engineering. We show that the integral involved in the formula…

Here we show that the Weil abscissa of the procyclic groups $\prod_{p \in S} \mathbb{Z}_p$ equals $2$ for three sets $S$: (i) the set of primes $p \equiv 1 \bmod 3$, (ii) the set of primes $p \equiv 1 \bmod 4$ and (iii) the set of primes $p…
