In this paper the authors provide a complete answer to Donkin's Tilting Module Conjecture for all rank $2$ semisimple algebraic groups and $\text{SL}_{4}(k)$ where $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. In the…
We investigate integral forms of simple modules of symmetric groups over fields of characteristic $0$ labelled by hook partitions. Building on work of Plesken and Craig, for every odd prime $p$, we give a set of representatives of the…
In this paper we study some sophisticated supercongruences involving dual sequences. For $n=0,1,2,\ldots$ define $$d_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk\binom xk2^k$$ and $$s_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk\binom xk\binom{x+k}k=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom…
For $m \geq 1$, let $N \geq 1$ be coprime to $m$, $k \geq 2$, and $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character modulo $N$ with $\chi(-1)=(-1)^k$. Then let $T_m^{\text{new}}(N,k,\chi)$ denote the restriction of the $m$-th Hecke operator to the space…
Let $\chi$ be a non-principal Dirichlet character modulo a prime $p$. Let $q_1<q_2$ denote the two smallest prime non-residues of $\chi$. We give explicit upper bounds on $q_2$ that improve upon all known results. We also provide a good…
Let K be a number field containing the n-th roots of unity for some n > 2. We prove a uniform subconvexity result for a family of double Dirichlet series built out of central values of Hecke L-functions of n-th order characters of K. The…
Let $(H(n))_{n \geq 0} $ be a $2-$dimensional Halton's sequence. Let $D_{2} ( (H(n))_{n=0}^{N-1}) $ be the $L_2$-discrepancy of $ (H_n)_{n=0}^{N-1} $. It is known that $\limsup_{N \to \infty } (\log N)^{-1} D_{2} ( H(n) )_{n=0}^{N-1} >0$.…
We describe the image of general families of two-dimensional representations over compact semi-local rings. Applying this description to the family carried by the universal Hecke algebra acting on the space of modular forms of level $N$…
Hecke expected that an explicit set of theta series obtained from maximal orders of the definite quaternion algebra over Q which is ramified at a prime N will be a basis of the space of holomorphic modular forms of weight 2 and level N.…
Let $d\ge4$ and $c\in(-d,d)$ be relatively prime integers. We show that for any sufficiently large integer $n$ (in particular $n>24310$ suffices for $4\le d\le 36$), the smallest prime $p\equiv c\pmod d$ with $p\ge(2dn-c)/(d-1)$ is the…
Let $SL_2$ be the rank one simple algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. The paper presents a new method for computing the dimension of the cohomology spaces $\text{H}^n(SL_2,V(m))$ for Weyl…
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…
For all $k \ge 2$, we show that there exists a group $G$ and a non-free stably free $\mathbb{Z} G$-module of rank $k$. We use this to show that, for all $k \ge 2$, there exist homotopically distinct finite $2$-complexes with fundamental…
We derive an explicit upper bound for the number of systems of Hecke eigenvalues coming from Siegel modular forms (mod p) of dimension g and level N relatively prime to p. In the special case of elliptic modular forms (g=1), our result…
In the previous work, Lim and the author determined the rank variety of the simple $\mathbb{F}\mathfrak{S}_{kp}$-module $D(p-1)=D^{(kp-p+1,1^{p-1})}$ with respect to some maximal elementary abelian $p$-subgroup $E_k$ and the complexity when…
The metric dimension reduction modulus $k^\alpha_n(\ell_\infty)$ is the smallest $k$ such that every $n$--point metric space can be embedded into some $k$-dimensional normed space, with bi--Lipschitz distortion at most $\alpha$. Determining…
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…

Given $g\ge 1$, the number $n(g)$ of numerical semigroups $S \subset \N$ of genus $|\N \setminus S|$ equal to $g$ is the subject of challenging conjectures of Bras-Amor\'os. In this paper, we focus on the counting function $n(g,2)$ of…
