In this paper we prove a noncommutative version of Hardy-Littlewood inequalities relating a function and its Fourier coefficients on the group $SU(2)$. As a consequence, we use it to obtain lower bounds for the $L^p-L^q$ norms of Fourier…

The purpose of this partly expository paper is to give an introduction to modular forms on $G_2$. We do this by focusing on two aspects of $G_2$ modular forms. First, we discuss the Fourier expansion of modular forms, following work of…

Let f be a cusp form for the group SL(3, Z) with Langlands parameter mu and associated L-function L(s, f). If mu is in generic position, i.e. away from the Weyl chamber walls and away from the self-dual forms, we prove the subconvexity…

Let $\lambda_i (n)$ $i= 1, 2, 3$ denote the normalised Fourier coefficients of holomorphic eigenform or Maass cusp form. In this paper we shall consider the sum: \[ S:= \frac{1}{H}\sum_{h\leq H} V\left( \frac{h}{H}\right)\sum_{n\leq N}…

We calculate certain "wide moments" of central values of Rankin--Selberg $L$-functions $L(\pi\otimes \Omega, 1/2)$ where $\pi$ is a cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}_2$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\Omega$ is a Hecke character…

We revisit a recent bound of I. Shparlinski and T. P. Zhang on bilinear forms with Kloosterman sums, and prove an extension for correlation sums of Kloosterman sums against Fourier coefficients of modular forms. We use these bounds to…

Error estimates are proved for finite element approximations to the solution of second-order hyperbolic partial differential equations with coefficients varying in both space and time. Optimal rates of convergence in the energy norm are…

We prove an algebraicity result for the central critical value of certain Rankin-Selberg L-functions for GL(n) x GL(n-1). This is a generalization and refinement of some results of Harder, Kazhdan-Mazur-Schmidt, Mahnkopf, and…

We give a new proof of Aubin's improvement of the Sobolev inequality on $\mathbb{S}^{n}$ under the vanishing of first order moments of the area element and generalize it to higher order moments case. By careful study of an extremal problem…

We establish power-saving estimates for general bilinear forms with Kloosterman sums modulo arbitrary q, including when both variables are shorter than the Polya-Vinogradov range. As an application, we obtain power-saving asymptotics for…

We give explicit upper bounds for the coefficients of arbitrary weight $k$, level 2 cusp forms, making Deligne's well-known $O(n^{\frac{k-1}{2}+\epsilon})$ bound precise. We also derive asymptotic formulas and explicit upper bounds for the…

We interpret likelihood-based test functions from a geometric perspective where the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence is adopted to quantify the distance from a distribution to another. Such a test function can be seen as a sub-Gaussian…

Let $L(s,f)$ be an $L$-function associated to a primitive (holomorphic or Maass) cusp form $f$ on GL(2) over $\mathbb{Q}$. Combining mean-value estimates of Montgomery and Vaughan with a method of Ramachandra, we prove a formula for the…

Let $\phi$ be a fixed Hecke--Maass form for $\mathrm{SL}_3 (\mathbb{Z})$ and $u_j $ traverse an orthonormal basis of Hecke--Maass forms for $\mathrm{SL}_2 (\mathbb{Z}) $. Let $1/4+t_j^2$ be the Laplace eigenvalue of $u_j $. In this paper,…

We give a sharpened form of Siegel Lemma's w. r. t. the maximum norm. This implies a new lower bound on the greatest element of a sum-distinct set of positive integers (Erd\"os-Moser problem). The main tools are Minkowski's theorem on…

We show how to compute lower bounds for the supremum Bayes error if the class-conditional distributions must satisfy moment constraints, where the supremum is with respect to the unknown class-conditional distributions. Our approach makes…

Let $f$ be a weight $k$ holomorphic cusp form of level one, and let $S_f(n)$ denote the sum of the first $n$ Fourier coefficients of $f$. In analogy with Dirichlet's divisor problem, it is conjectured that $S_f(X) \ll X^{\frac{k-1}{2} +…

In the 80s, Zagier and Jacquet-Zagier tried to derive the Selberg trace formula by applying the Rankin-Selberg method to the automorphic kernel function. Their derivation was incomplete due to a puzzle of the computation of a residue. We…

Let $f$ be a fixed self-contragradient Hecke-Maass form for $SL(3,\mathbb Z)$, and $u$ an even Hecke-Maass form for $SL(2,\mathbb Z)$ with Laplace eigenvalue $1/4+k^2$, $k>0$. A subconvexity bound $O\big(k^{4/3+\varepsilon}\big)$ in the…

We study sums of additively twisted Fourier coefficients of a holomorphic cusp form, a Maass cusp form, and the symmetric-square lift of a holomorphic cusp form. We obtain bounds that are uniform with respect to both the form and the terms…
