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…

We prove that every odd semisimple reducible (2-dimensional) mod l Galois representation arises from a cuspidal eigenform. In addition, we investigate the possible different types (level, weight, character) of such a modular form. When the…

Recent works of the authors have demonstrated the usefulness of considering moduli spaces of Artinian reductions of a given ring when studying standard graded rings and their Lefschetz properties. This paper illuminates a key aspect of…

We show that suitable congruences between polarized automorphic forms over a CM field always produce elements in the Selmer group for exactly the +/--Asai (aka tensor induction) representation that is critical in the sense of Deligne. For…

In this article we show that 'most' of the vector valued modular forms w.r.t. the Weil representation on the groups rings $\mathbb{C}[D]$ of discriminant forms D are oldforms. The precise meaning of oldform is that the form can be…

Linking numbers appear in local quantum field theory in the presence of tensor fields, which are closed two-forms on Minkowski space. Given any pair of such fields, it is shown that the commutator of the corresponding intrinsic (gauge…

We propose to associate to a modular form (an infinite number of) complex valued functions on the $p$-adic numbers $\mathbb{Q}_p$ for each prime $p$. We elaborate on the correspondence and study its consequence in terms of the Mellin…

The Katz-Sarnak Density Conjecture states that zeros of families of $L$-functions are well-modeled by eigenvalues of random matrix ensembles. For suitably restricted test functions, this correspondence yields upper bounds for the families'…

In this paper we prove relationships between two generalizations of commutative valuation theory for noncommutative central simple algebras: (1) Dubrovin valuation rings; and (2) the value functions called gauges introduced by Tignol and…

In this paper we explicitly compute mod-l Galois representations associated to modular forms. To be precise, we look at cases with l<=23 and the modular forms considered will be cusp forms of level 1 and weight up to 22. We present the…

We use the relative trace formula to obtain exact formulas for central values of certain twisted quadratic base change L-functions averaged over Hilbert modular forms of a fixed weight and level. We apply these formulas to the subconvexity…

We formulate and prove the analogue of the Ramanujan Conjectures for modular forms of half-integral weight subject to some ramification restriction in the setting of a polynomial ring over a finite field. This is applied to give an…

We introduce the $L$-series of weakly holomorphic modular forms using Laplace transforms and give their functional equations. We then determine converse theorems for vector-valued harmonic weak Maass forms, Jacobi forms, and elliptic…

We give coefficient formulas for antisymmetric vector-valued cusp forms with rational Fourier coefficients for the Weil representation associated to a finite quadratic module. The forms we construct always span all cusp forms in weight at…

Laguerre's theorem regarding the number of non-real zeros of a polynomial and its image under certain linear operators is generalized. This generalization is then used to (1) exhibit a number of previously undiscovered complex zero…

We derive an upper bound for the least number of variables needed to guarantee that a system of t quadratic forms (t>=2) over a field F has a nontrivial zero. In particular, if F is a local field, then 2t^2+3 variables insure the existence…

We study several aspects of nonvanishing Fourier coefficients of elliptic modular forms $\bmod \ell$, partially answering a question of Bella\"iche-Soundararajan concerning the asymptotic formula for the count of the number of Fourier…

Let $g$ be a Hecke cusp form of half-integral weight, level $4$ and belonging to Kohnen's plus subspace. Let $c(n)$ denote the $n$th Fourier coefficient of $g$, normalized so that $c(n)$ is real for all $n \geq 1$. A theorem of Waldspurger…

Let f be a Bianchi modular form, that is, an automorphic form for GL(2) over an imaginary quadratic field F. In this paper, we prove an exceptional zero conjecture in the case where f is new at a prime above p. More precisely, for each…

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},…
