The celebrated Artin conjecture on primitive roots asserts that given any integer $g$ which is neither $-1$ nor a perfect square, there is an explicit constant $A(g)>0$ such that the number $\Pi(x;g)$ of primes $p\le x$ for which $g$ is a…

We give here a counter-example to a conjecture of Spivakovsky. M. Spivakovsky conjectured that the function that appears in the strong Artin approximation theorem is bounded by a linear function. First we show that there is no Liouville…

Beginning with the conjecture of Artin and Tate in 1966, there has been a series of successively more general conjectures expressing the special values of the zeta function of an algebraic variety over a finite field in terms of other…

We study the vanishing of $L(f,\chi,j)$ as $f$ runs through all classical forms in a $p$-adic Hida family (including forms with arbitrarily high nebentype at $p$), $\chi$ runs through all characters of $p$-power conductor, and $j$ is a…

In this article, we study the density conjecture of Katz and Sarnak for $L$-functions of ad\'elic Hilbert modular forms and their convolutions. In particular, under the generalised Riemann hypothesis, we establish several instances…

We study real numbers defined by multidimensional automatic arrays weighted by multiplicatively independent bases. Let $a_1, \dots, a_r\geq 2$ be integers such that $\log a_1, \dots, \log a_r$ are $\mathbb Q$-linearly independent. Given…

We begin a systematic investigation of universal norms for $p$-adic representations in higher rank Iwasawa theory. After establishing the basic properties of the module of higher rank universal norms we construct an Iwasawa-theoretic…

We establish some new cases of Artin's conjecture. Our results apply to Galois representations over $\Q$ with image $S_5$ satisfying certain local hypotheses, the most important of which is that complex conjugation is conjugate to…

We prove the factorization conjecture for triple-product $p$-adic $L$-functions formulated in a companion article in the special case when two of the (three) factors have complex multiplication.

We establish an effective Bertini-type theorem for hypersurfaces $X_f \colon f = 0$ defined over a finite field $k$ for which $f$ has no linear factors over the algebraic closure $\overline{k}$. Given a line $L$ defined over $k$ and a…

When the branch character has root number -1, the corresponding anticyclotomic Katz p-adic L-function identically vanishes. In this case, we study the $\mu$-invariant of the cyclotomic derivative of Katz p-adic L-function. As an…

Lichtenbaum conjectured the existence of a Weil-\'etale cohomology in order to describe the vanishing order and the special value of the Zeta function of an arithmetic scheme $\mathcal{X}$ at $s=0$ in terms of Euler-Poincar\'e…

We completely classify Laurent series converging on the unit circle over a non-Archimedean local field (of any characteristic) that map infinitely many roots of unity to roots of unity. For a given Laurent series $f$ over a field of…

We prove the $p$-part of the strong Stark conjecture for every totally odd character and every odd prime $p$. Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois CM-extension with Galois group $G$, which has an abelian Sylow $p$-subgroup for an odd prime $p$. We…

Let F be a global function field of characteristic p with ring of integers A and let \Phi be a Hayes module on the Hilbert class field H(A) of F. We prove an Iwasawa Main Conjecture for the Z_p^\infty-extension F/F generated by the…

In this paper we prove an anticyclotomic Iwasawa main conjecture proposed by Perrin-Riou for Heegner points when the global sign is -1, using a recent work of the author on one divisibility of Iwasawa-Greenberg main conjecture for…

In 1927, E. Artin proposed a conjecture for the natural density of primes $p$ for which $g$ generates $(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^\times$. By carefully observing numerical deviations from Artin's originally predicted asymptotic, Derrick and…

For $f$ a cuspidal modular form for the group $\Gamma_0(N)$ of integral or half-integral weight, $N$ a multiple of $4$ in case the weight is half-integral, we study the zeros of the $L$-function attached to $f$ twisted by an additive…

In a groundbreaking paper, T. Fukaya and K. Kato proved a slight weakening of a conjecture of the author's relating modular symbols and cup products of cyclotomic units under an assumption that a Kubota-Leopoldt p-adic L-function has no…

Recently Conrey, Farmer, and Zirnbauer developed the L-functions Ratios conjecture, which gives a recipe that predicts a wealth of statistics, from moments to spacings between adjacent zeros and values of L-functions. The problem with this…
