We explain how the unramified Plancherel formula in the relative Langlands program gives a natural way of constructing test vectors which satisfy the tame norm relations of an Euler system. This uniformly recovers many of the known Euler…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a finite set of positive integers and $y\geq 1$. We give an effective lower bound of the cardinality of the set $\{n\in\mathcal{A};\,p|n\Longrightarrow p\leq y\}$ under the condition of a good knowledge of the level of…

This is a survey of old and new problems and results in additive number theory.

Fix a prime $p$ and a cuspidal newform $f$ of level coprime to $p$ with $a_p=0$. Attached to $f$ are signed $p$-adic $L$-functions $L_p^\pm(f)$ and Mazur-Tate elements $\theta_n(f)$, both of which encode arithmetic data about $f$ along the…

We consider the generalized Lebesgue-Ramanujan-Nagell equation $x^2+17^k41^\ell 59^m=2^\delta y^n$ in the unknown integers $x\geq 1, y>1,n\geq 3$ and $k, \ell, m\geq 0$ satisfying $\gcd(x,y)=1$. We first find all the integer solutions of…

We show that for an arbitrary totally complex number field $L$ the (regularized) critical $L$-values of algebraic Hecke characters of $L$ divided by certain periods are algebraic integers. This relies on a new construction of an equivariant…

For a rational prime $p \geq 3$ we show that a $p$-ordinary modular eigenform $f$ of weight $k\geq 2$, with $p$-adic Galois representation $\rho_f$, mod ${p^m}$ reductions $\rho_{f,m}$, and with complex multiplication (CM), is characterized…

We use Lazard's universal $\pi$-ring to construct a variation of the $\pi$-typical ramified Witt vector functors, which we call the Lazardian Witt vector functor. We then use the Lazardian Witt vector functor to construct the universal…

We construct Hida families of theta lifts from definite orthogonal and unitary groups. A major ingredient of the construction is the choice of test Schwartz functions at places dividing $p$. We select a special type of Schwartz functions…

We investigate the representation of arbitrary polynomials using probabilistic Bernoulli and degenerate Bernoulli polynomials associated with a random variable $Y$, whose moment generating function exists in a neighborhood of the origin. In…

In a previous paper, we studied the connection between points in $\mathbb{H}^n$ and $2$-dimensional rigid adelic spaces on a totally real number field $K$ with class number $h_K = 1$. This last assumption was needed to link heights and…

We describe an algorithm to compute the minimal field of definition of the Tate classes on powers of a Jacobian $J$ with potential complex multiplication. This field arises as a natural invariant of the Galois representations attached to…

Ramanujan introduced mock theta functions in his last letter to G.H.Hardy. He provided examples and various relations between them. G.N.Watson found transformations for the third order mock theta functions $f(q)$ and $\omega$(q). Zwegers in…

A conjecture by Sun states that the partition function $p(n)$, for $n>1$, is never a perfect power. Recent work by Merca et al. proposes generalizations of perfect-power repulsion for $p(n)$. In this note, we prove these generalizations for…

In a recent paper, Jin, Liu, and Xia \cite{JLX} presented some modulo 4 congruences for $\overline{spt2}(n)$, the number of smallest parts in the overpartitions of $n$ where the smallest part is even and is not overlined. In this paper, we…

In this paper we prove that the Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(1/2+ix,\chi_q)$, where $\chi_q$ is uniformly random Dirichlet character modulo $q$ and $x\in \mathbb{R}$, converges to a random Schwartz distribution $\zeta_{\mathrm{rand}}$, which…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. Consider normalized newforms $f_1,f_2$ that both satisfy the Heegner hypothesis for an imaginary quadratic field $K$ and suppose that they induce isomorphic residual Galois representations. In the work of…

Let $x\geqslant 3$, for $1\leqslant n \leqslant x$ an integer, let $\omega(n)$ be its number of distinct prime factors. We show that, among the values $n\leqslant x$ with $\omega(n)=k$ where $1\leqslant k \ll \log_2 x$, $\omega(n-1)$…

Given a totally real number field $F$, we show that there are only finitely many totally real extensions of $K$ of a fixed degree that admit a universal quadratic form defined over $F$. We further obtain several explicit classification…

We study the universality of forms of degrees greater than 2 over rings of integers of totally real number fields. We show that such universal forms always exist, but cannot be characterized by any variant of the 290-Theorem of…
