We work out the exact relationship between algebraic modular forms for a two-by-two general unitary group over a definite quaternion algebra, and those arising from genera of positive-definite quinary lattices, relating stabilisers of local…
Let $F$ be an arbitrary totally real field. Under weak conditions we prove the existence of certain Eisenstein congruences between parallel weight $k \geq 3$ Hilbert eigenforms of level $\mathfrak{mp}$ and Hilbert Eisenstein series of level…
We present a general conjecture on congruences between Hecke eigenvalues of parabolically induced and cuspidal automorphic representations of split reductive groups, modulo divisors of critical values of certain $L$-functions. We examine…
Let H(G) be the Hecke algebra of a reductive p-adic group G. We formulate a conjecture for the ideals in the Bernstein decomposition of H(G). The conjecture says that each ideal is geometrically equivalent to an algebraic variety. Our…
We prove a compatibility theorem between the Stark conjecture and the Harris-Venkatesh conjecture for imaginary dihedral modular forms of weight $1$. The key technical input is a general two-variable $\mathrm{PGL}_2$ Siegel-Weil formula…
A well known result of Breulmann states that Hecke eigenvalues of Saito-Kurokawa lifts are positive. In this article, we show that the Hecke eigenvalues of an Ikeda lift at primes are positive. Further, we derive lower and upper bounds of…
For a primitive Hecke-Maass cusp form $\phi$ of level $N$ with the $n$-th Hecke eigenvalue $\lambda_{\phi}(n)$ and a prime number $p\nmid N$, the celebrated Ramanujan conjecture at $p$ asserts the following sharp upper bound: \[…
We prove the Strengthened Hanna Neumann Conjecture, in its common graph theoretic formulation. Our original approach to this conjecture used cohomology of sheaves on graphs, although here we give a short combinatorial proof that we found in…
We define Hecke correspondences and Hecke operators on unitary RZ spaces and study their basic geometric properties, including a commutativity conjecture on Hecke operators. Then we formulate the Arithmetic Fundamental Lemma conjecture for…
The aim of this paper is to give a full detail of the proof given by Harder of a theorem on the denominator of the Eisenstein class for $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ and to show that the theorem has some interesting applications including the…
The Langlands Programme predicts that a weight 2 newform f over a number field K with integer Hecke eigenvalues generally should have an associated elliptic curve E_f over K. In our previous paper, we associated, building on works of Darmon…
Let $F$ and $G$ be Siegel cusp forms for $\Sp_4(\Z)$ and weights $k_1, k_2$ respectively. Also let $F$ and $G$ be Hecke eigenforms lying in distinct eigen spaces. Further suppose that neither $F$ nor $G$ is a Saito-Kurokawa lift. In this…
Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, $\delta$ a nonzero $\mathcal{E}$-derivation of $K[x]$. We first prove that $\operatorname{Im}\delta$ is a Mathieu-Zhao space of $K[x]$ in some cases. Then we prove that LFED…
We study the arithmetic of Eisenstein cohomology classes (in the sense of G. Harder) for symmetric spaces associated to GL_2 over imaginary quadratic fields. We prove in many cases a lower bound on their denominator in terms of a special…
Let K be an imaginary quadratic field with discriminant -D, and x the Dirichlet character corresponding to the extension K/Q. Let m=2n or 2n+1 with n a positive integer. Let f be a primitive form of weight 2k+1 and level D with Neben…
We study congruences modulo powers of a prime $p$ between pairs of $p$-new modular Hecke eigenforms of level $\Gamma_0(p)$ and same weight $k$. Based on explicit computations, we conjecture that every such eigenform $f$ admits a twin to…
We study the cohomology of certain local systems on moduli spaces of principally polarized abelian surfaces with a level 2 structure. The trace of Frobenius on the alternating sum of the \'etale cohomology groups of these local systems can…
In this work, we establish several results on distinguishing Siegel cusp forms of degree two. In particular, a Hecke eigenform of level one can be determined by its second Hecke eigenvalue under a certain assumption. Moreover, we can…
We study some particular cases of Viterbo's conjecture relating volumes of convex bodies and actions of closed characteristics on their boundaries, focusing on the case of a Hamiltonian of classical mechanical type, splitting into summands…
In this note we improve on the results of our earlier paper[BLGG12], proving a near-optimal theorem on the existence of ordinary lifts of a mod l Hilbert modular form for any odd prime l.
