Let E/Q be a real quadratic field and pi_0 a cuspidal, irreducible, automorphic representation of GL(2,A_E) with trivial central character and infinity type (2,2n+2) for some non-negative integer n. We show that there exists a non-zero…

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…

Previously we observed that newforms obey a strict bias towards root number $+1$ in squarefree levels: at least half of the newforms in $S_k(\Gamma_0(N))$ with root number $+1$ for $N$ squarefree, and it is strictly more than half outside…

Let $K$ be a complete, discretely valued field with finite residue field and $G_K$ its absolute Galois group. The subject of this note is the study of the set of positive integers $d$ for which there exists an absolutely irreducible…

In this paper we prove a number of theorems that determine the extent to which the signs of the Hecke eigenvalues of an Eisenstein newform determine the newform. We address this problem broadly and provide theorems of both individual and…

Within the scope of elementary number theory, we prove that, as the main result, if $1 \leq x < y < z$ are integers such that at least one of $y, z, x+y$ is prime then $x^{n}+y^{n} \neq z^{n}$ for every odd integer $n \geq 3$. This result…

New expressions are given for the Fourier expansions of non-holomorphic Eisenstein series with weight $k$. Among other applications, this leads to non-holomorphic analogs of formulas of Ramanujan, Grosswald and Berndt containing Eichler…

We present a formula for the Fourier transforms of order statistics in $\Bbb R^n$ showing that all these Fourier transforms are equal up to a constant multiple outside the coordinate planes in $\Bbb R^n.$ For $a_1\geq ... \geq a_n\ge0$ and…

We investigate integrality and divisibility properties of Fourier coefficients of meromorphic modular forms of weight $2k$ associated to positive definite integral binary quadratic forms. For example, we show that if there are no…

Suppose that $O_L$ is the ring of integers of a number field $L$, and suppose that $f(z)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_f(n)q^n\in S_k\cap O_L[[q]]$ (note: $q := e^{2\pi iz}$) is a normalized Hecke eigenform for $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$. We say…

A famous conjecture of Erd\H os and Straus is that for every integer $n\ge2$, $4/n$ can be represented as $1/x+1/y+1/z$, where $x,y,z$ are positive integers. This conjecture was generalized to $5/n$ by Sierpi\'nski, and then Schinzel…

K{\"o}hler, in [1], presented a weight 1 newform on $\Gamma_0(576)$ constructed from a linear combination of weight 1 eta quotients and asked, ``What would be a suitable $L$ and representation $\rho$ such that Deligne\text{-}Serre…

Let $F$ (over $\mathbb{Q}$) be a totally real number field of narrow class number $1$. We generalize a result of Kohnen on the determination of half integral weight modular forms by their Fourier coefficients supported on squarefree…

The arithmetic properties of the ordinary partition function $p(n)$ have been the topic of intensive study for the past century. Ramanujan proved that there are linear congruences of the form $p(\ell n+\beta)\equiv 0\pmod\ell$ for the…

To apply the Euler system method to a $p$-adic Galois representation $T$, one needs the existence of a $\sigma \in G_{\mathbb{Q}(\mu_{p^{\infty}})}$ such that $V/(\sigma-1)V$ is free of rank one over the coefficient ring: we say that such a…

Motivated by the discovery that the eighth root of the theta series of the E_8 lattice and the 24th root of the theta series of the Leech lattice both have integer coefficients, we investigate the question of when an arbitrary element f in…

We improve a result of Lau and Zhao on the variance of Fourier coefficients of primitive cuspidal modular forms for SL2(Z) in arithmetic progressions. This is achieved by using bounds on the first moment of Rankin-Selberg L-functions in the…

For multi-variable finite measure spaces, we present in this paper a new framework for non-orthogonal $L^2$ Fourier expansions. Our results hold for probability measures $\mu$ with finite support in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that satisfy a certain…

We report on a detailed calculation of the anomaly coefficients for the odd and even parts of the $Z_2$-graded representation $\theta$ of the Lie algebra Lie$ G$ on the exterior algebra of dimension $2^n$ assuming that $G\subset U(n)$. The…

Let $m$ be a positive integer and let $\rho(m,n)$ be the proportion of permutations of the symmetric group ${\rm Sym}(n)$ whose order is coprime to $m$. In 2002, Pouyanne proved that $\rho(n,m)n^{1-\frac{\phi(m)}{m}}\sim \kappa_m$ where…
