We consider some questions related to the signs of Hecke eigenvalues or Fourier coefficients of classical modular forms. One problem is to determine to what extent those signs, for suitable sets of primes, determine uniquely the modular…

Let $\mathcal{F}(\mathbf{k},\mathfrak{q})$ be the set of normalized Hilbert newforms of weight $\mathbf{k}$ and prime level $\mathfrak{q}$. In this paper, utilizing regularized relative trace formulas, we establish a positive proportion of…

Let $E$ be a level 1, vector valued Eisenstein series of half-integral weight, normalized so that the coefficients are all in $\mathbb{Z}$. We show that there is a level one vector valued cusp form $f$ with the same weight as $E$ and with…

In this work, we establish several results on distinguishing Siegel cusp forms of degree two. In particular, a Hecke eigenform of level one can be determined by its second Hecke eigenvalue under a certain assumption. Moreover, we can…

Recently, Bruinier and Ono proved that the coefficients of certain weight -1/2 harmonic weak Maa{\ss} forms are given as "traces" of singular moduli for harmonic weak Maa{\ss} forms. Here, we prove that similar results hold for the…

Let $f$ be a holomorphic cusp form for $SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ of weight $k>1$. In these notes, we follow Munshi to prove the Burgess bound $$ L(1/2+it,f)\ll_{f,\varepsilon} (1+|t|)^{1/2-1/8+\varepsilon}. $$

Using the framework relating hypergeometric motives to modular forms, we define an explicit family of weight 2 Hecke eigenforms with complex multiplication. We use the theory of ${}_2F_1(1)$ hypergeometric series and Ramanujan's theory of…

We investigate certain finiteness questions that arise naturally when studying approximations modulo prime powers of p-adic Galois representations coming from modular forms. We link these finiteness statements with a question by K. Buzzard…

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…

In this paper, we explicitly construct mock modular forms whose shadows are Eisenstein series of arbitrary integral and half-integral weight, level and character at the cusps $\infty$ and $0$. As an application, we give explicit…

We find experimental examples of congruences of Hecke eigenvalues between automorphic representations of groups such as $\mathrm{GSp}_2(\mathbb{A})$, $\mathrm{SO}(4,3)(\mathbb{\mathbb{A}})$ and $\mathrm{SO}(5,4)(\mathbb{A})$, where the…

In this article, we study the nature of zeros of weakly holomorphic modular forms. In particular, we prove results about transcendental zeros of modular forms of higher levels and for certain Fricke groups which extend a work of Kohnen.…

We prove that, for fixed tame level (N,p) = 1, there are only finitely many Hecke eigenforms f of level Gamma_1(N) and even weight with a_p(f) = 0 which are not CM.

Let $T_m(N,2k)$ denote the $m$-th Hecke operator on the space $S_{2k}(\Gamma_0(N))$ of cuspidal modular forms of weight $2k$ and level $N$. In this paper, we study the non-repetition of the second coefficient of the characteristic…

We address the problem of identifying a Hecke-Maass cusp form $f$ of full level from the central values of the Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions $L(1/2,f\otimes h)$ where $h$ runs through the set of Hecke-Maass eigenforms of full level. We prove…

Let $\phi = \sum_{r^{2} \leq 4mn}c(n,r)q^{n}\zeta^{r}$ be a Jacobi form of weight $k$ (with $k > 2$ if $\phi$ is not a cusp form) and index $m$ with integral algebraic coefficients which is an eigenfunction of all Hecke operators $T_{p},…

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…

We study the $1$- or $2$-level density of families of $L$-functions for Hecke--Maass forms over an imaginary quadratic field $F$. For test functions whose Fourier transform is supported in $\left(-\frac 32, \frac 32\right)$, we prove that…

Let $F$ and $G$ be Siegel cusp forms for $\Sp_4(\Z)$ and weights $k_1, k_2$ respectively. Also let $F$ and $G$ be Hecke eigenforms lying in distinct eigen spaces. Further suppose that neither $F$ nor $G$ is a Saito-Kurokawa lift. In this…

In this work, we establish a zero density result for the Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions. As an application, we apply it to distinguish the holomorphic Hecke eigenforms for $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}).$
