We twist Zagier's function $f_{k,D}$ by a sign function and a genus character. Assuming weight $0 < k \equiv 2 \pmod{4}$, and letting $D$ be a positive non-square discriminant, we prove that the obstruction to modularity caused by the sign…
We establish power saving asymptotics for the sum of the divisor function along a binary quartic form, improving on work of Daniel. The proof involves an application of a recent two dimensional delta method due to Li, Rydin-Myerson, and…
Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian group with Haar measure $\mu$. For integers $n \geq 2$ and $H \geq 2$ and for any $n$-tuples $\mathbf{u}_1,\ldots, \mathbf{u}_H \in \mathbf{N}^n$, there exist measurable subsets $A_1,\ldots, A_n$ of $G$…
In the present paper, we provide an algebraic and geometric proof of the Landen formula for complex multiple polylogarithms originally established by Okuda and Ueno. Our approach employs a chain rule of complex KZ solutions arising from the…
We propose the use of de Rham cohomology of special fibers of Shimura varieties to formulate a geometric version of the weight part of Serre's conjecture. We conjecture that this formulation is equivalent to the one using Serre weights and…
We construct a new family of mod $p$ weight shifting differential operators on Hodge type Shimura varieties at hyperspecial level. First we construct basic theta operators, labelled by positive roots, that generalize Katz's theta operator…
We revisit the problem of rigorously and deterministically finding elements of large order in the multiplicative group of integers modulo a natural number $N$. Solving this problem is an essential step in several recent deterministic…
Let phi(n) denote the Euler totient function. We study the analytic part associated with the summatory function of sigma_1(n) and obtain explicit bounds under the Riemann Hypothesis. In particular, we establish an upper bound of order…
Let $\chi=\chi_q$ be a primitive character mod $q$ and fix $\Delta>0$. In 1989 Graham and Ringrose gave strong bounds on character sums $\sum_{M<n\leq M+N} \chi(n)$ in intervals of length $N=q^\Delta$ whenever $q$ is squarefree and is…
Eisenstein series play an important role in the theory of modular forms and have profound connections with $q$-series identities, partition theory, and special functions. Likewise, Ramanujan's mock theta functions, originally introduced in…
In this paper, we study $C(x, y)$, the second moment of Ramanujan sums. Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis(RH), we establish an asymptotic formula for $C(x, y)$ with improved error term. Our analysis applies uniformly to the case where $x$ and…
We prove a perfectoid analogue of the Ax-Kochen theorem on zeros of $p$-adic forms: Given $d\in \mathbb{N}$, there is a finite totally ramified extension $E/\mathbb{Q}_p$ such that every untilt of $\mathbb{F}_p(\!(t^{1/p^{\infty}})\!)$…
We construct a new family of mod $p$ weight shifting differential operators on the Siegel threefold. In particular, we construct one operator which generalizes the classical theta cycle, whose weight shift allows for maps between…
In this paper, we prove that a $\mathrm{GL}(2n)$-eigenvariety is \'etale over the (pure) weight space at non-critical Shalika points, and construct multi-variable $p$-adic $L$-functions varying over the resulting Shalika components. Our…
In this paper, we propose and explore a new connection in the study of $p$-adic $L$-functions and eigenvarieties. We use it to prove results on the geometry of the cuspidal eigenvariety for $\mathrm{GL}_{2n}$ over a totally real number…
This paper describes the vector bundle on the elliptic modular curve that is associated to a vertex operator algebra $V$ (VOA) or more generally a quasi-vertex operator algebra (QVOA), with a view towards future applications aimed at…
In this paper, I utilize a variant of the Selberg--Delange method to find quantitative estimates of the sums \[M_{k,\omega}(x,y)=\sum_{\substack{p_{1}(n)> y\\ n\leq x} } \mu(n) {\omega(n)-1\choose k-1},\] where $y$ can grow with $x$ but we…
We present a general approach to establish algebraic functional equations for big Galois representations over multiple $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions. Our result is formulated in both Selmer group and Selmer complex settings, and encompasses a…
Waring's problem has a long history in additive number theory. In its original form it deals with the representability of every positive integer as sum of $k$-th powers with integer $k$. Instead of these powers we deal with…
We develop a refinement process for two-term Machin-like formulas: $a_0 \arctan{u_0} + a_1 \arctan{u_1} = \frac{\pi}{4}$ (where $a_0 , a_1 \in \mathbb{Z}$, $u_0 , u_1 \in \mathbb{Q}_+^*$, $u_0 > u_1$) by exploiting the continued fraction…
