For a totally real field $F$, a finite extension $\mathbf{F}$ of $\mathbf{F}_p$ and a Galois character $\chi: G_F \to \mathbf{F}^{\times}$ unramified away from a finite set of places $\Sigma \supset \{\mathfrak{p} \mid p\}$ consider the…
We find experimental examples of congruences of Hecke eigenvalues between automorphic representations of groups such as $\mathrm{GSp}_2(\mathbb{A})$, $\mathrm{SO}(4,3)(\mathbb{\mathbb{A}})$ and $\mathrm{SO}(5,4)(\mathbb{A})$, where the…
In this paper, we determine mod $2$ Galois representations $\bar{\rho}_{\psi,2}:G_K:={\rm Gal}(\bar{K}/K)\longrightarrow {\rm GSp}_4(\mathbb{F}_2)$ associated to the mirror motives of rank 4 with pure weight 3 coming from the Dwork quintic…
We say that a two dimensional p-adic Galois representation of a number field F is weight two if it is de Rham with Hodge-Tate weights 0 and -1 equally distributed at each place above p; for example, the Tate module of an elliptic curve has…
We prove many simultaneous congruences mod 2 for elliptic and Hilbert modular forms among forms with different Atkin--Lehner eigenvalues. The proofs involve the notion of quaternionic $S$-ideal classes and the distribution of Atkin--Lehner…
In this work we prove a prime number type theorem involving the normalised Fourier coefficients of holomorphic and Maass cusp forms, using the classical circle method. A key point is in a recent paper of Fouvry and Ganguly, based on…
We study $N$-congruences between quadratic twists of elliptic curves. If $N$ has exactly two distinct prime factors we show that these are parametrised by double covers of certain modular curves. In many, but not all cases, the modular…
Let $p$ be an odd prime. Consider normalized newforms $f_1,f_2$ that both satisfy the Heegner hypothesis for an imaginary quadratic field $K$ and suppose that they induce isomorphic residual Galois representations. In the work of…
There is a lifting from a non-CM elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ to a paramodular form $f$ of degree $2$ and weight $3$ given by the symmetric cube map. We find the level of $f$ in an explicit way in terms of the coefficients of the…
Let $p$ be an odd prime number and $f$ a modular form. We consider the $\mathbb{F}_p$-valued Galois representation $\bar{\rho}_f$ attached to $f$ and its twist $\bar{\rho}_{f, D}$ by the quadratic character $\chi_D$ corresponding to a…
Using the framework relating hypergeometric motives to modular forms, we define an explicit family of weight 2 Hecke eigenforms with complex multiplication. We use the theory of ${}_2F_1(1)$ hypergeometric series and Ramanujan's theory of…
The main purpose of this paper is to extend results on isomorphism types of the abelianized absolute Galois group $\mathcal G_K^{ab}$, where $K$ denotes imaginary quadratic field. In particular, we will show that if the class number $h_K$…
In this paper, a strong multiplicity one theorem for Katz modular forms is studied. We show that a cuspidal Katz eigenform which admits an irreducible Galois representation is in the level and weight old space of a uniquely associated Katz…
We attempt to generalize a congruence property of elliptic modular forms proved by Sturm to that of Haupttypus of Siegel modular forms of degree 2 with level. Namely, we give an explicit bound of Fourier coefficients required to determine…
We investigate class field towers of number fields obtained as fixed fields of modular representations of the absolute Galois group of the rational numbers. First, for each $k\in\{12,16,18,20,22,26\}$, we give explicit rational primes $\l$…
We show that for $\gg K^2$ of the half-integral weight Hecke cusp forms in the Kohnen plus subspaces with weight bounded by a large parameter $K$, the number of "real" zeroes grows at the expected rate. A key technical step in the proof is…
This article is a research exposition based on the author's talk at the International Colloquium on Automorphic Representations and L-Functions, 2012, held at TIFR, Mumbai. We consider some special cases of the following question: when is a…
Let $p$ be a prime number and $F$ a totally real number field unramified at places above $p$. Let $\bar{r}:\operatorname{Gal}(\bar F/F)\rightarrow\operatorname{GL}_2(\bar{\mathbb{F}_p})$ be a modular Galois representation which satisfies…
In this paper, we study the average of the Fourier coefficients of a holomorphic cusp form for the full modular group at primes of the form $[g(n)]$.
In this article we give a criterion for a mod $\ell$ eigenvalue system attached to a mod $\ell$ Katz cuspform to arise from lower level or weight. Namely, we prove the following: the eigenvalue system associated to a ring homomorphism…
