Let $f$ be a newform of weight $2$, square-free level and trivial character, let $A_f$ be the abelian variety attached to $f$ and for every good ordinary prime $p$ for $f$ let $\boldsymbol f^{(p)}$ be the $p$-adic Hida family through $f$.…

Let $f$ be a holomorphic modular form of prime level $p$ and trivial nebentypus. We show that there exists a computable $\delta>0$, such that $$ L\left(\tfrac{1}{2},\mathrm{Sym}^2 f\right)\ll p^{\tfrac{1}{2}-\delta}, $$ with the implied…

We define graded hyper-algebras of vector-valued Siegel modular forms, which allow us to study tensor products of the latter. We also define vector-valued Hecke operators for Siegel modular forms at all places of ${\mathbb Q}$, acting on…

Let G be a semisimple, simply-connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0. We observe that the tensor product of the Steinberg module with a minuscule module is always indecomposable tilting.…

Let $N\geq3$ and $r\geq1$ be integers and $p\geq2$ be a prime such that $p\nmid N$. One can consider two different integral structures on the space of modular forms over $\mathbb{Q}$, one coming from arithmetic via $q$-expansions, the other…

Let V be a simple vertex operator algebra satisfying the following conditions: (i) The homogeneous subspaces of V of weights less than 0 are 0, the homogeneous subspace of V of weight 0 is spanned by the vacuum and V' is isomorphic to V as…

We characterize the space of new forms for $\Gamma_0(m)$ as a common eigenspace of certain Hecke operators which depend on primes $p$ dividing the level $m$. To do that we find generators and relations for a $p$-adic Hecke algebra of…

The mod $p$ kernel of the theta operator is the set of modular forms whose image of the theta operator is congruent to zero modulo a prime $p$. In the case of Siegel modular forms, the authors found interesting examples of such modular…

We investigate some key analytic properties of Fourier coefficients and Hecke eigenvalues attached to scalar-valued Siegel cusp forms $F$ of degree 2, weight $k$ and level $N$. First, assuming that $F$ is a Hecke eigenform that is not of…

I begin with a simple modular form motivated proof of the following: Let $C_{n}$ in $Z/2[[t]]$ be defined by $C_{n+4} = C_{n+3} + (t^{4}+t^{3}+t^{2}+t)C_{n} + t^{n}(t^{2}+t)$, with initial values $0$, $1$, $t$ and $t^{2}$ for $C_{0}$,…

A theorem of Gekeler compares the number of non-isomorphic automorphic representations associated with the space of cusp forms of weight $k$ on $\Gamma_0(N)$ to a simpler function of $k$ and $N$, showing that the two are equal whenever $N$…

We construct a basis for the space of half-integral weight Siegel Eisenstein series of level 4N where N is odd and square-free. Then we restrict our attention to those Eisenstein series generated from elements of $\Gamma_0(4)$, commenting…

Let N be a positive integer and let f be a newform of weight 2 on \Gamma_0(N). In earlier joint work with K. Ribet and W. Stein, we introduced the notions of the modular number and the congruence number of the quotient abelian variety A_f…

This brief note only contains a modest contribution: we just fix some inaccuracies in the proof of the prime level weight 2 case of Serre's conjecture given in Khare's preprint "On Serre's modularity conjecture for 2-dimensional mod p…

We introduce an alternate set of generators for the Hecka algebra, and give an explicit formula for the action of these operators on Fourier coefficients. With this, we compute the eigenvalues of Hecke operators acting on average Siegel…

Let $p$ be a prime number. We study the slopes of $U_p$-eigenvalues on the subspace of modular forms that can be transferred to a definite quaternion algebra. We give a sharp lower bound of the corresponding Newton polygon. The computation…

Let $\tau(n)$ be Ramanujan's tau function, defined by the discriminant modular form \[ \Delta(z) = q\prod_{j=1}^{\infty}(1-q^{j})^{24}\ =\ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\tau(n) q^n \,,q=e^{2\pi i z} \] (this is the unique holomorphic normalized…

While examples of Ramanujan-type congruences are amply available via their relation to Hecke operators, it remains unclear which of them should be considered of combinatorial origin and which of them are mere artifacts of the connection…

Let $E/\mathbb Q$ be an elliptic curve, and denote by $N(p)$ the number of $\mathbb{F}_p$-points of the reduction modulo $p$ of $E$. A conjecture of Koblitz, refined by Zywina, states that the number of primes $p \leq X$ at which $N(p)$ is…

We prove multiplicity one for vector valued holomorphic Siegel modular forms of weights greater or equal to 3 and the full Siegel modular group and give a trace formula for the action of the Hecke operators T(p) in the regular cases.
