Let G be a torsion-free finite-index subgroup of SL(n,Z) or GL(n,Z), and let d be the cohomological dimension of G. We present an algorithm to compute the eigenvalues of the Hecke operators on the integral cohomology of degree d-1 for n =…

We extend the computations in [AGM4] to find the mod 2 homology in degree 1 of a congruence subgroup Gamma of SL(4,Z) with coefficients in the sharbly complex, along with the action of the Hecke algebra. This homology group is closely…

We show that the systems of Hecke eigenvalues occurring in the spaces of Siegel modular forms (mod p) of fixed dimension g, fixed level N, and varying weight, are the same as the systems occurring in the spaces of Siegel cusp forms with the…

Let $\Gamma$ denote the modular group $SL(2,\Bbb Z)$ and $C_n(\Gamma)$ the number of congruence subgroups of $\Gamma$ of index at most $n$. We prove that $\lim\limits_{n\to \infty} \frac{\log C_n(\Gamma)}{(\log n)^2/\log\log n} =…

We derive explicit upper bounds for the number of nondegenerate critical points of a $k$-component Gaussian mixture density in $\mathbb{R}^d$, and the number of modes when the modal set is finite, together with lower bounds. By normalizing…

The main result of this paper is an instance of the conjecture made by Gouvea and Mazur (Math. Res. Lett., 1995) which asserts that for certain values of r the space of r-overconvergent p-adic modular forms of tame level N and weight k…

The reducible Specht modules for the Hecke algebra $\mathcal{H}_{\mathbb{F},q}(\mathfrak{S}_n)$ have been classified except when $q=-1$. We prove one half of a conjecture which we believe classifies the reducible Specht modules when $q=-1$…

A well-known observation of Serre and Tate is that the Hecke algebra acts locally nilpotently on modular forms mod 2 on $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$. We give an algorithm for calculating the degree of Hecke nilpotency for cusp forms, and we…

We study the space of period polynomials associated with modular forms of integral weight for finite index subgroups of the modular group. For the modular group, this space is endowed with a pairing, corresponding to the Petersson inner…

A theorem of Gekeler compares the number of non-isomorphic automorphic representations associated with the space of cusp forms of weight $k$ on $\Gamma_0(N)$ to a simpler function of $k$ and $N$, showing that the two are equal whenever $N$…

Let $p$ be a rational prime, let $q>1$ be a $p$-power integer, let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the field of $q$ elements and let $A=\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ be the polynomial ring over $\mathbb{F}_q$. Let $\mathfrak{n}\in A$ be a nonzero element and let…

We solve the sup-norm problem for spherical Hecke-Maass newforms of square-free level for the group GL(2) over a number field, with a power saving over the local geometric bound simultaneously in the eigenvalue and the level aspect. Our…

Let ${\mathcal D}(n)$ be the maximal determinant for $n \times n$ $\{\pm 1\}$-matrices, and $\mathcal R(n) = {\mathcal D}(n)/n^{n/2}$ be the ratio of ${\mathcal D}(n)$ to the Hadamard upper bound. Using the probabilistic method, we prove…

We compute generators and relations for a certain $2$-adic Hecke algebra of level $8$ associated with the double cover of $\mathrm{SL}_2$ and a $2$-adic Hecke algebra of level $4$ associated with $\mathrm{PGL}_2$. We show that these two…

We study congruences modulo powers of a prime $p$ between pairs of $p$-new modular Hecke eigenforms of level $\Gamma_0(p)$ and same weight $k$. Based on explicit computations, we conjecture that every such eigenform $f$ admits a twin to…

Let $D$ in $Z/2[[x]]$ be $\sum x^{n^{2}}$, $n>0$ and prime to $6$. Let $W$ be spanned by the $D^{k}$, $k>0$ and prime to $6$. Then the formal Hecke operators $T_{p}$, $p>3$, stabilize $W$, and it can be shown that they act locally…

We define a congruence module $\Psi_A(M)$ associated to a surjective $\mathcal O$-algebra morphism $\lambda\colon A \to \mathcal{O}$, with $\mathcal{O}$ a discrete valuation ring, $A$ a complete noetherian local $\mathcal{O}$-algebra…

We study general properties of the dessins d'enfants associated with the Hecke congruence subgroups $\Gamma_0(N)$ of the modular group $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})$. The definition of the $\Gamma_0(N)$ as the stabilisers of couples of…

We give very precise bounds for the congruence subgroup growth of arithmetic groups. This allows us to determine the subgroup growth of irreducible lattices of semisimple Lie groups. In the most general case our results depend on the…
