We describe a new method to estimate the trilinear period on automorphic representations of PGL(2,R). Such a period gives rise to a special value of the triple L-function. We prove a bound for the triple period which amounts to a…

We prove an asymptotic formula with a power-saving error term for a specific weighted second moment of $\mathrm{GL}(2)\times \mathrm{GL}(2)$ Rankin-Selberg $L$-function, $L(1/2,\pi\otimes \pi_0)$ over any number field $F$ where $\pi$ runs…

We produce a new proof of the reciprocity law for the twisted second moment of Dirichlet L-functions that was recently proved by Conrey. Our method is to analyze certain two-variable sums where the variables satisfy a linear congruence. We…

Let $\pi$ be a regular algebraic cuspidal automorphic representation of ${\rm GL}_n({\mathbb A}_F)$ for a number field $F$. We consider certain periods attached to $\pi$. These periods were originally defined by Harder when $n=2$, and later…

The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum ($T = 2\pi\sqrt{l/g}$) is a familiar formula to the average first-year physics student. However, deriving this expression from first principles involves solving a non-linear differential…

Let F be a number field, A_F its ring of adeles, and let {\pi}_n and {\pi}_{n+1} be irreducible, cuspidal, automorphic representations of SO_n(A_F) and SO_{n+1}(A_F), respectively. In 1991, Benedict Gross and Dipendra Prasad conjectured the…

Let $\pi$ be a cohomological automorphic representation of $PGL(2)$ over a number field of arbitrary signature and assume that the local component of $\pi$ at a prime $\mathfrak{p}$ is the Steinberg representation. In this situation one can…

We investigate the moment and the distribution of $L(1,\x_P),$ where $\x_P$ varies over quadratic characters associated to irreducible polynomials $P$ of degree $2g+1$ over $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ as $g\to\infty$. In the first part of the paper…

The rationality of the elliptic Gauss sum coefficient is shown. The following is a specific case of our argument. Let f(u)=sl((1-i)\varpi u), where sl() is the Gauss' lemniscatic sine and \varpi=2.62205... is the real period of the elliptic…

Let $f$ be a normalized holomorphic cusp form for $SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ of weight $k$ with $k\equiv0\bmod 4$. By the Kuznetsov trace formula for $GL_3(\mathbb R)$, we obtain the first moment of central values of $L(s,f\otimes \phi)$, where…

We study the first moments of central values of Hecke $L$-functions associated with quadratic, cubic and quartic symbols to prime moduli. This also enables us to obtain results on first moments of central values of certain families of cubic…
