Half-integral weight modular forms are naturally viewed as automorphic forms on the so-called metaplectic covering of $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbf{A}_{\mathbf{Q}})$ -- a central extension by the roots of unity $\mu_2$ in $\mathbf{Q}$. For…

Let $K$ be an unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_2$ and $\mu_{2^n}$ the group of $2^n$-th root of unity for a fixed integer $n\geqslant 2$. In this paper, we give an explicit formula for the $\mu_{2^n}$-valued Hilbert symbol over $K_n :=…

The mapping class group $\mathrm{Mod}_{g, 1}$ of a surface with one marked point can be identified with an index two subgroup of $\mathrm{Aut}(\pi_1 \Sigma_g)$. For a surface of genus $g \geq 2$, we show that any action of $\mathrm{Mod}_{g,…

Theta functions for definite signature lattices constitute a rich source of modular forms. A natural question is then their generalization to indefinite signature lattices. One way to ensure a convergent theta series while keeping the…

This paper is about cohomology of mapping class groups from the perspective of arithmetic groups. For a closed surface $S$ of genus $g$, the mapping class group $Mod(S)$ admits a well-known arithmetic quotient $Mod(S)\rightarrow Sp(2g, Z)$,…

We prove that the coefficients of certain weight -1/2 harmonic Maass forms are traces of singular moduli for weak Maass forms. To prove this theorem, we construct a theta lift from spaces of weight -2 harmonic weak Maass forms to spaces of…

Let $(\mathcal{L},\mathfrak{g})$ be a line bundle over a closed Riemann surface $(\Sigma,g)$, $\Gamma(\mathcal{L})$ be the set of all smooth sections, and $\mathcal{D}:\Gamma(\mathcal{L})\rightarrow T^\ast\Sigma\otimes \Gamma(\mathcal{L})$…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n}$ be a smooth bounded domain and $m\in C(\overline{\Omega})$ be a sign-changing weight function. For $1<p<\infty$, consider the eigenvalue problem $$ \left\{ \begin{array} [c]{ll} -\Delta_{p}u=\lambda…

We study the TQFT mapping class group representations for surfaces with boundary associated with the $SU(2)$ gauge group, or equivalently the quantum group $U_q(\Sl(2))$. We show that at a prime root of unity, these representations are all…

We study the recent proposal of arXiv:2405.20366 which poses a precise holographic duality between a 3d TQFT summed over all topologies and a unitary ensemble of boundary 2d CFTs. In that proposal, the sum over topologies is obtained via…

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…

Let p be an odd prime. Let K = Q(zeta) be the p-cyclotomic field. Let v be any primitive root mod p. Let sigma be a Q-isomorphism of K. Let P(sigma) = sigma^{p-2}v^{-(p-2)}+ ... + sigma v^{-1} +1 \in Z[G] where 1 \leq v^n \leq p-1 is a…

For a real number $0<\lambda<2$, we introduce a transformation $T_\lambda$ naturally associated to expansion in $\lambda$-continued fraction, for which we also give a geometrical interpretation. The symbolic coding of the orbits of…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact, 2-dimensional Riemannian manifold with nonpositive sectional curvature. Let $\Delta_g$ be the Laplace-Beltrami operator corresponding to the metric $g$ on $M$, and let $e_\lambda$ be $L^2$-normalized eigenfunctions…

In \cite{km2}, Kudla and Millson constructed a $q$-form $\varphi_{KM}$ on an orthogonal symmetric space using Howe's differential operators. It is a crucial ingredient in their theory of theta lifting. This form can be seen as a Thom form…

Let $Q$ be a positive definite quadratic form with integral coefficients and let $E(s,Q)$ be the Epstein zeta function associated with $Q$. Assume that the class number of $Q$ is bigger than $1$. Then we estimate the number of zeros of…

Let $p$ and $q$ be distinct prime numbers, with $q\equiv 1\pmod{12}$. Let $N$ be a positive integer that is coprime to $pq$. We prove a formula relating the Hasse--Weil zeta function of the modular curve $X_0(qN)_{\mathbb{F}_q}$ to the…

We apply the homological mirror symmetry for elliptic curves to the study of indefinite theta series. We prove that every such series corresponding to a quadratic form of signature (1,1) can be expressed in terms of theta series associated…
