This paper concerns the distribution of Selmer ranks in a family of even Galois representations in even residual characteristic obtained by allowing ramification at auxiliary primes. The main result is a Galois cohomological analogue of a…
We prove a non-trivial bound for $\operatorname{Sp}(2n)$ Kloosterman sums of moduli not equal to a prime multiple of the identity. These sums are attached to Siegel modular forms on the group $\operatorname{Sp}(2n)$ and appear in the…
Let $p$ be an odd prime and $F$ be a complete discretely valued field with residue field of characteristic $p$. For any parahoric level structure of the split even orthogonal similitude group $\operatorname{GO}_{2n}$ over $F$, we prove a…
The notion of $\theta$-congruent numbers generalizes the classical congruent number problem. Recall that a positive integer $n$ is $\theta$-congruent if it is the area of a rational triangle with an angle $\theta$ whose cosine is rational.…
The splitting field of an elliptic surface $\mathcal E$ defined over ${\mathbb Q}(t)$ is the smallest subfield $\mathcal K$ of $\mathbb C$ such that ${\mathcal E}({\mathbb C}(t))\cong {\mathcal E}({\mathcal K}(t))$. In this paper, we…
The sequence $A067549$ of The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences is defined as $(a_k)_{k \geq 1}$ with $a_k$ being the determinant of the $k \times k$ matrix whose diagonal contains the first $k$ prime numbers and all other elements…
Let $M$ and $N$ be positive integers for which the modular curve $X_1(M,MN)$ has genus $0$, and let $p$ be a prime divisor of $MN$. This article gives asymptotic lower bounds for the average size of the $p$-Selmer group of elliptic curves…
In 2008, Pritsker introduced the areal Mahler measure, which is defined using an integral over the unit disk, as opposed to the classical Mahler measure which is defined using an integral over the unit circle. In this paper we introduce…
We assemble three basic analytic inputs -- the Kuznetsov trace formula on $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$ with explicit continuous spectrum, the $\mathrm{GL}_3$ Voronoi formula, and $t$-aspect second-moment bounds for $L(1/2+it,\varphi)$ -- into…
We study Euclidean ideal classes in real biquadratic fields and obtain unconditional existence results via genus theory. Lenstra showed (assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis) that a number field with unit rank at least one admits a…
In the function field setting with a fixed characteristic, it was proven by the second and third authors that the values $\log \big|L\big(\frac12, \chi_D\big)\big|$ as $D$ varies over monic and square-free polynomials are asymptotically…
Let $f(n)$ be a random completely multiplicative function such that $f(p) = \pm 1$ with probabilities $1/2$ independently at each prime. We study the conditional probability, given that $f(p) = 1$ for all $p < y$, that all partial sums of…
The well-known Hardy--Ramanujan inequality states that if $\omega(n)$ denotes the number of distinct prime factors of a positive integer $n$, then there is an absolute constant $C>0$ such that uniformly for $x\ge2$ and $k\in\mathbb{N}$,…
Let $r,\,f$ be multiplicative functions with $r\geqslant 0$, $f$ is complex valued, $|f|\leqslant r$, and $r$ satisfies some standard growth hypotheses. Let $x$ be large, and assume that, for some real number $\tau$, the quantities…
The orbit method in its quantitative form due to Nelson and Venkatesh has played a central role in recent advances in the analytic theory of higher rank $L$-functions. The goal of this note is to explain how the method can be applied to the…
In a recent work, we introduced \textit{LC-functions} $L(s,f)$, associated to a certain real-analytic function $f$ at $0$, extending the concept of the Hurwitz zeta function and its formula. In this paper, we establish the existence of a…
Let $\mathcal{O}_E$ be a complete discrete valuation ring and $R$ be a perfect ring in characteristic $p$, we also assume $R$ is a complete valuation ring whose valuation group is of rank one and non-discrete, we prove the Krull dimension…
Let $A(s) = \sum_n a_n n^{-s}$ be a Dirichlet series admitting meromorphic continuation to the complex plane. Assume we know the location of the poles of $A(s)$ with $|\Im s| \leq T$, and their residues, for some large constant $T$. It is…
The Wasserstein distance quantifies the distance between two probability measures on a metric space. We prove an analogue of the Berry-Esseen inequality for the Wasserstein distance on a finite area hyperbolic surface. This inequality…
We study the asymptotic behavior of cumulants of lacunary trigonometric sums $S_n(\omega) := \sum_{k=1}^n \cos (2 \pi a_k \omega)$, $\omega\in[0,1]$, and show that cumulant growth is highly sensitive to the arithmetic structure of the…
