Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over an imaginary quadratic field $K$, and $p$ be an odd prime such that the residual representation $E[p]$ is reducible. The $\mu$-invariant of the fine Selmer group of $E$ over the anticyclotomic…

We use the liftability of the relative Frobenius morphism of toric varieties and the strong liftability of toric varieties to prove the Bott vanishing theorem, the degeneration of the Hodge to de Rham spectral sequence and the…

In this note, we prove multiplicity one theorems for generalized modular functions (GMF), in terms of their q-exponents, and make a general statement about the nature of values that the prime q-exponents of a GMF can take. We shall also…

We prove that 1) for any $q\in (0,1)$, all complex conjugate pairs of zeros of the partial theta function $\theta (q,x):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j$ belong to the set $\{$~Re\,$x\in (-5792.7,0),$~$|$Im\,$x|<132~\}$ $\cup$ $\{…

Let $R=\bigoplus_{n\ges0}R_n$ be a graded commutative ring generated over a field $K=R_0$ by homogeneous elements $x_1,\dots,x_e$ of positive degrees $d_1,\dots,d_e$. The Hilbert-Serre Theorem shows that for each finite graded $R$--module…

Set $K=\mathbb{Q}(i)$ and suppose that $c\in \mathbb{Z}[i]$ is a square-free algebraic integer with $c\equiv 1 \imod{\langle16\rangle}$. Let $L(s,\chi_{c})$ denote the Hecke $L$-function associated with the quartic residue character modulo…

For any large prime $q$, $1 \leq x \leq q$ and any real $0 \leq k \leq 1$, we prove an upper bound for the following $2k$-th moment $$\displaystyle \sum_{\substack{\chi \bmod q}} \Big| \sum_{n\leq x} \chi(n)\lambda(n)\Big|^{2k},$$ where…

We consider the partial theta function $\theta (q,x):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j$, where $q\in (-1,0)\cup (0,1)$ and either $x\in \mathbb{R}$ or $x\in \mathbb{C}$. We prove that for $x\in \mathbb{R}$, in each of the two cases $q\in…

In this paper, we study the Laurent coefficients of meromorphic modular forms at CM points by giving two approaches of computing them. The first is a generalization of the method of Rodriguez-Villegas and Zagier, which expresses the Laurent…

We will show that $(1-q)(1-q^2)\dots (1-q^m)$ is a polynomial in $q$ with coefficients from $\{-1,0,1\}$ iff $m=1,\ 2,\ 3,$ or $5$ and explore some interesting consequences of this result. We find explicit formulas for the $q$-series…

Let $\zeta(s,C)$ be the partial zeta function attached to a ray class C of a real quadratic field. We study this zeta function at s=1 and s=0, combining some ideas and methods due to Zagier and Shintani. The main results are (1) a…

We show in a quantitative way that any odd character $\chi$ modulo $q$ of fixed order $g \geq 2$ satisfies the property that if the P\'{o}lya-Vinogradov inequality for $\chi$ can be improved to $$\max_{1 \leq t \leq q} \left|\sum_{n \leq t}…

Recently we explained that the classical $Q$ Schur functions stand behind various well-known properties of the cubic Kontsevich model, and the next step is to ask what happens in this approach to the generalized Kontsevich model (GKM) with…

Let $\varepsilon>0$ be given. For prime power moduli $q=p^k$ with $k\geq 2$ and $p\neq 3$, and assuming the Ramanujan--Petersson conjecture for $\GL_2$ Maass forms, we prove that the Rankin--Selberg coefficients $\{\lambda_f(n)^2\}_{n\geq…

Let $f(z)=q+\sum_{n\geq 2}a(n)q^n$ be a weight $k$ normalized newform with integer coefficients and trivial residual mod 2 Galois representation. We extend the results of Amir and Hong in \cite{AH} for $k=2$ by ruling out or locating all…

A classical first-order Hardy-Sobolev inequality in Euclidean domains, involving weighted norms depending on powers of the distance function from their boundary, is known to hold for every, but one, value of the power. We show that, by…

It is shown that for every splitting of a polynomial with noncommutative coefficients into linear factors $(X-a_{k})$ with $a_{k}$'s commuting with coefficients, any cyclic permutation of linear factors gives the same result and all $a_{k}$…

We calculate an explicit lower bound on the proportion of elliptic curves that are modular over any Galois CM field not containing $\zeta_5$. Applied to imaginary quadratic fields, this proportion is at least $2/5$. Applied to cyclotomic…

Elimination of quantifiers is shown to fail dramatically for a group of well-known mathematical theories (classically enjoying the property) against a wide range of relevant logical backgrounds. Furthermore, it is suggested that only by…
