We provide formulas for traces of p-th Hecke operators in level 1 in terms of values of finite field 2F1-hypergeometric functions, extending previous work of the author to all odd primes p, instead of only those p=1 (mod 12). We first give…
Seminal works by Birch and Ihara gave formulas for the $m$th power moments of the traces of Frobenius endomorphisms of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ for primes $p \geq 5$. Recent works by Kaplan and Petrow generalized these results…
We study gauge theory with finite group $G$ on a graph $X$ using noncommutative differential geometry and Hopf algebra methods with $G$-valued holonomies replaced by gauge fields valued in a `finite group Lie algebra' subset of the group…
For a prime $p\equiv 3$ $(\text{mod }4)$ and $m\ge 2$, Romik raised a question about whether the Taylor coefficients around $\sqrt{-1}$ of the classical Jacobi theta function $\theta_3$ eventually vanish modulo $p^m$. This question can be…
An ideal setting to exhibit infinite sets of primes $p$ relative to which an integer is a primitive root $\pmod p$ is provided by the B\'ezout subdomain $\widetilde{\mathbb{B}}:=\mathbb{Z}^{\mathbb{P}}/\mathfrak{U}$ of the valuation domain…
Motivated by G. H. Hardy's 1939 results \cite{Hardy} on functions orthogonal with respect to their real zeros $\lambda_{n}, n=1,2,... $, we will consider, within the same general conditions imposed by Hardy, functions satisfying an…
In this paper, we introduce and investigate a class P of continuous and periodic functions on R. The class P is defined so that second-order central differences of a function satisfy some concavity-type estimate. Although this definition…
The dominant theme of this thesis is that random matrix valued analytic functions, generalizing both random matrices and random analytic functions, for many purposes can (and perhaps should) be effectively studied in that level of…
We introduce $p$-adic Kummer spaces of continuous functions on $\mathbb{Z}_p$ that satisfy certain Kummer type congruences. We will classify these spaces and show their properties, for instance, ring properties and certain decompositions.…
Let $p$ be a prime number and let $k\geq 2$ be an integer. In this article we study the semi-simple reductions modulo $p$ of two-dimensional irreducible crystalline $p$-adic Galois representations with Hodge-Tate weights $0$ and $k-1$ and…
We define a hypergeometric function over finite fields which is an analogue of the classical generalized hypergeometric series. We prove that this function satisfies many transformation and summation formulas. Some of these results are…
This is the first paper in a series where we study arithmetic applications of the multiple elliptic Gamma functions originated from mathematical physics. The main purpose of this paper is the introduction of a framework for applications of…
We address the problem of the weak asymptotic behavior of zeros of families of generalized hypergeometric polynomials as their degree tends to infinity. The main tool is the representation of such polynomials as a finite free convolution of…
We study $p$-adic Euler's series $E_p(t) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}k!t^k$ at a point $p^a$, $a \in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 1}$, and use Pad\'e approximations to prove a lower bound for the $p$-adic absolute value of the expression $cE_p\left(\pm…
Given a prime $p$, and $v_p(a)$ stand for the $p$-adic valuation of the element $a$ in a finite extension $K$ of $\mathbf{Q}_p$, or more generally the field $\mathbf{C}_p$ which is the complete field of the algebraic closure $\mathbf{Q}_p$…
In this work we find a sequence of functions at which the Pearcey function is identically zero. The sequence of functions can be expressed in terms of a second order non-linear ODE, which happens to be the Rayleigh-type. As a byproduct of…
Negative type inequalities arise in the study of embedding properties of metric spaces, but they often reduce to intractable combinatorial problems. In this paper we study more quantitative versions of these inequalities involving the…
Let ${\mathrm G}$ be the group $({\rm GL}_{2}\times {\rm GU}(1))/{\rm GL}_{1}$ over a totally real field $F$, and let $\mathscr{X}$ be a Hida family for ${\rm G}$. Revisiting a construction of Howard and Fouquet, we construct an explicit…
A problem of determining zeroes of the Gauss hypergeometric function goes back to Klein, Hurwitz, and Van Vleck. In this very short note we show how ratios of hypergeometric functions arise as m-functions of Jacobi matrices and we then…
We study the p-adic analogue of the arithmetic Gan-Gross-Prasad (GGP) conjectures for unitary groups. Let $\Pi$ be a conjugate-selfdual cuspidal automorphic representation of GL_{n} x GL_{n+1} over a CM field, which is algebraic of minimal…
