We give a proof of the existence of Asai, exterior square, and symmetric square local $L$-functions, $\gamma$-factors and root numbers in characteristic $p$, including the case of $p = 2$. Our study is made possible by developing the…

We study the average of the product of the central values of two $L$-functions of modular forms $f$ and $g$ twisted by Dirichlet characters to a large prime modulus $q$. As our principal tools, we use spectral theory to develop bounds on…

For a positive integer $m$ and a subgroup $\Lambda$ of the unit group $(\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z})^\times$, the corresponding generalized Kloosterman sum is the function $K(a,b,m,\Lambda) = \sum_{u \in \Lambda}e(\frac{au + bu^{-1}}{m})$.…

The main aim of this article is to develop, in a fully detailed fashion, a {\bf unified} theory of the spectral theory of mean values of individual automorphic L-functions which is a natural extension of the fourth moment of the Riemann…

The symmetric power L-function of the hyper-Kloosterman family is a rational function over the integers. Its degree and complex absolute values of its zeros and poles are now known through the work of Fu and Wan. The purpose of this paper…

Deligne constructed a remarkable local system on $\bP^1-\{0,\infty\}$ attached to a family of Kloosterman sums. Katz calculated its monodromy and asked whether there are Kloosterman sheaves for general reductive groups and which automorphic…

As a consequence of Wan's theorem about Dwork's conjecture, the unit root $L$-functions of the $n$-dimensional Kloosterman family are $p$-adic meromorphic. By studying the symmetric power $L$-functions associated to the Kloosterman family,…

We are studing Galois actions on fundamental groups. Using towers of coverings we construct measures on the products of finite copies of Z_p. Using these measures we can calculate coefficients of Galois representations. In the simplest case…

The Rankin-Selberg method for studying Langlands' automorphic $L$-functions is to find integral representations, involving certain Fourier coefficients of cusp forms and Eisenstein series, for these functions. In this thesis we develop the…

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 construct p-adic relative cohomology for a family of toric exponential sums which generalize the classical Kloosterman sums. Under natural hypotheses such as quasi-homogeneity and nondegeneracy, this cohomology is acyclic except in the…

We show that integral monodromy groups of Kloosterman $\ell$-adic sheaves of rank $n\ge 2$ on $\mathbb{G}_m/\mathbb{F}_q$ are as large as possible when the characteristic $\ell$ is large enough, depending only on the rank. This variant of…

We consider arbitrary algebraic families of lower order deformations of nondegenerate toric exponential sums over a finite field. We construct a relative polytope with the aid of which we define a ring of coefficients consisting of p-adic…

The principal aim of this article is to attach and study $p$-adic $L$-functions to cohomological cuspidal automorphic representations $\Pi$ of $\mathrm{GL}(2n)$ over a totally real field $F$ admitting a Shalika model. We use a modular…

We first show joint uniform distribution of values of Kloosterman sums or Birch sums among all extensions of a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, for almost all couples of arguments in $\mathbb{F}_q^\times$, as well as lower bounds on…

We define L-functions for meromorphic modular forms that are regular at cusps, and use them to: (i) find new relationships between Hurwitz class numbers and traces of singular moduli, (ii) establish predictions from the physics of…

We return to some past studies of hyperkloosterman sums ([9,10]) via $p$-adic cohomology with an aim to improve earlier results. In particular, we work here with Dwork's $\theta_\infty$-splitting function and a better choice of basis for…

In this paper, we calculate the ramified local integrals in the doubling method and present an integral representation of standard $L$-functions for classical groups. We explicitly construct local sections of Eisenstein series such that the…

We compute the arithmetic L-invariants (of Greenberg-Benois) of twists of symmetric powers of p-adic Galois representations attached to Iwahori level Hilbert modular forms (under some technical conditions). Our method uses the automorphy of…

We define the notions of non-abelian exotic Gauss sums and of exotic matrix Kloosterman sums, the latter one generalizing the notions of Katz's exotic Kloosterman sums and of twisted matrix Kloosterman sums. Using Kondo's Gauss sum and…
