In the early 1980s, Rohrlich began a study of canonical Hecke characters, which are closely related to the simplest examples of CM elliptic curves. He and Montgomery showed the non-vanishing of the central value when the L-function has an…

Given an undirected graph $G$, the classical Cheeger constant, $h_G$, measures the optimal partition of the vertices into 2 parts with relatively few edges between them based upon the sizes of the parts. The well-known Cheeger's inequality…

Fix an integer $N$ and a prime $p\nmid N$ where $p\geq 5$. We show that the number of newforms $f$ (up to a scalar multiple) of level $N$ and even weight $k$ such that $\mathcal{T}_p(f)=0$ is bounded independently of $k$, where…

Using norms, the second author constructed a basis for the centre of the Hecke algebra of the symmetric group over $\Q[\xi]$ in 1990. An integral "minimal" basis was later given by the first author in 1999, following work of Geck and…

In 1979, Vogan introduced a generalised $\\tau$ -invariant for characterising primitive ideals in enveloping algebras. Via a known dictionary this translates to an invariant of left cells in the sense of Kazhdan and Lusztig. Although it is…

In this paper, we establish connections between the first extensions of simple modules and certain filtrations of of standard modules in the setting of graded Hecke algebras. The filtrations involved are radical filtrations and Jantzen…

Using Duke's large sieve inequality for Hecke Gr{\"o}ssencharaktere and the new sieve methods of Maynard and Tao, we prove a general result on gaps between primes in the context of multidimensional Hecke equidistribution. As an application,…

We investigate the equidistribution of Hecke eigenforms on sets that are shrinking towards infinity. We show that at scales finer than the Planck scale they do not equidistribute while at scales more coarse than the Planck scale they…

Let $N \ge 1$, $k \ge 2$ even, and $\sigma$ denote a sign pattern for $N$. In this paper, we first determine the exact proportion of forms in $S_k(N)$ and $S_k^\mathrm{new}(N)$ with a given Atkin-Lehner sign pattern $\sigma$. Then we study…

In this article, we investigate large prime factors of Fourier coefficients of non-CM normalized cuspidal Hecke eigenforms in short intervals. One of the new ingredients involves deriving an explicit version of Chebotarev density theorem in…

The properties of the first (largest) eigenvalue and its eigenvector (first eigenvector) are investigated for large sparse random symmetric matrices that are characterized by bimodal degree distributions. In principle, one should be able to…

Let k and n be positive even integers. For a cuspidal Hecke eigenform g in the Kohnen plus subspace of weight k-n/2+1/2 and level 4, let I(g) be the Duke-Imamoglu-Ikeda lift of g in the space of cusp forms of weight k for Sp(n,Z), and f the…

We establish lower bounds for (i) the numbers of positive and negative terms and (ii) the number of sign changes in the sequence of Fourier coefficients at squarefree integers of a half-integral weight modular Hecke eigenform.

The nonstandard Hecke algebra \check{\mathscr{H}}_r was defined by Mulmuley and Sohoni to study the Kronecker problem. We study a quotient \check{\mathscr{H}}_{r,2} of \check{\mathscr{H}}_r, called the nonstandard Temperley-Lieb algebra,…

In this paper, we prove that the Hecke eigenvalue square for a holomorphic cusp form and the Piltz divisor functions are good weighting functions for the pointwise ergodic theorem. This partially solves problems suggested by Cuny and Weber.…

We study a Dirichlet-to-Neumann eigenvalue problem for differential forms on a compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary. This problem is a natural generalization of the classical Steklov problem on functions. We derive a number of…

In this paper, we consider the first negative eigenvalue of eigenforms of half-integral weight k + 1/2 and obtain an almost type bound.

We prove that the average of the $k$-th smallest prime quadratic non-residue modulo a prime approximates the $2k$-th smallest prime.

Let $1\le N<M$ with $N$ and $M$ coprime and square-free. Through classical analytic methods we estimate the first moment of central $L$-values $ L(1/2,f\times g) $ where $f\in S^*_k(N)$ runs over primitive holomorphic forms of level $N$ and…

We evaluate the first three moments of central values of a family of qudratic Hecke $L$-functions in the Gaussian field with power saving error terms. In particular, we obtain asymptotic formulas for the first two moments with error terms…
