Suppose that $k$ and $N$ are positive integers. Let $f$ be a newform on $\Gamma_0(N)$ of weight $k$ with $L$-function $L_f(s)$. Previous works have studied the zeros of the period polynomial $r_f(z)$, which is a generating function for the…

Algebraic independence is an advanced notion in commutative algebra that generalizes independence of linear polynomials to higher degree. Polynomials {f_1, ..., f_m} \subset \F[x_1, ..., x_n] are called algebraically independent if there is…

We start with the Lorentz algebra $ L=o_{R}(1,3)$ over the reals and find a suitable basis $B$ relative to which the structure constants are integers. Thus we consider the $Z$-algebra $L_{Z}$ which is free as a $Z$-module and its $Z$-basis…
