We give an exposition of central value formulas for twisted L-functions for GL(2) in terms of compact periods, with a focus on explaining an approach via the relative trace formula and joint work of the author with David Whitehouse.
In this article, we study the co-period integral attached to an automorphic form on $\GL(2)$ and two exceptional theta series on the cubic Kazhdan-Patterson cover of $\GL(2)$. In the local aspect, we show the $\Hom$-space is always of one dimension and conduct the unramified calculations. In the global aspect, we give the Euler decomposition for the co-period integrals of Eisenstein series and propose an Ichino-Ikeda type conjecture relating the co-period integrals of cuspidal forms to the central critical value of symmetric cube $L$-functions. We also deduce from the local multiplicity one re…
We construct the anticyclotomic $p$-adic $L$-function that interpolates a square root of central values of twisted spinor $L$-functions of a quadratic base change of a Siegel cusp form of genus $2$ with respect to a paramodular group of square-free level, assuming the Böcherer conjecture for the central $L$-values with anticyclotomic twists.
We study the algebraicity of the central critical values of twisted triple product $L$-functions associated to motivic Hilbert cusp forms over a totally real étale cubic algebra in the totally unbalanced case. The algebraicity is expressed in terms of the cohomological period constructed via the theory of coherent cohomology on quaternionic Shimura varieties developed by Harris. As an application, we generalize our previous result on Deligne's conjecture for certain automorphic $L$-functions for ${\rm GL}_3 \times {\rm GL}_2$. We also establish a relation for the cohomological periods under tw…
We prove a refinement of the global Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture proposed by Ichino-Ikeda and N. Harris for unitary groups under some local conditions. We need to assume some expected properties of L-packets and some part of the local Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture.
We establish a central limit theorem for the central values of Dirichlet $L$-functions with respect to a weighted measure on the set of primitive characters modulo $q$ as $q \rightarrow \infty$. Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH), we also prove a weighted central limit theorem for the joint distribution of the central $L$-values corresponding to twists of two distinct primitive Hecke eigenforms. As applications, we obtain (under GRH) positive proportions of twists for which the central $L$-values simultaneously grow or shrink with $q$ as well as a positive proportion of twists for …
We study the first and second mollified moments of central values of a quadratic family of Hecke $L$-functions of prime moduli to show that more than nine percent of the members of this family do not vanish at the central values.
In this paper, we study moments of the central values of quartic Dirichlet $L$-functions and establish quantitative non-vanishing result for these $L$-values.
In this paper, we derive a function field version of the Waldspurger formula for the central critical values of the Rankin-Selberg L-functions. This formula states that the central critical L-values in question can be expressed as the "ratio" of the global toric period integral to the product of the local toric period integrals. Consequently, this result provides a necessary and sufficient criterion for the non-vanishing of these central critical L-values, and supports the Gross-Prasad conjecture for $SO(3)$ over function fields.
We construct a meromorphic function on the eigencurve that interpolates a square root of the ratio of the central values of two quadratic twists of the $L$-function at classical points.
In this paper, we study moments of central values of cubic Hecke $L$-functions in $\mathbb{Q}(i)$, and establish quantitative non-vanishing result for those values.
We reprove a Waldspurger's formula which relates the toric periods and the central values of L-functions of GL2. Our technique, different from the original theta-correspondence approach and the more recent relative trace formula, relies on the exploit of distributions defined on prehomogeneous vector spaces.
We obtain exact formulas for central values of triple product L-functions averaged over newforms of weight 2 and prime level. We apply these formulas to non-vanishing problems. This paper uses a period formula for the triple product L-function proved by Gross and Kudla.
In this paper, we will first investigate the linear relations of a one parameter family of Siegel Poincaré series. Then we give the applications to the non-vanishing of Fourier coefficients of Siegel cusp eigenforms and the central values.
This is a continuation of our previous paper published in Israel J. Math 187 (2012), 317-369. The aim of the paper here is to study the Fourier coefficients of Arakawa lifts in relation with central values of automorphic L-functions. In the previous paper we provide an explicit formula for the Fourier coefficients in terms of toral integrals of automorphic forms on multiplicative groups of quaternion algebras. In this paper, after studying explicit relations between the toral integrals and the central $L$-values, we explicitly determine the constant of proportionality relating the square norm …
Let F(z) be a newform of weight 2k and level one with a trivial character, and assume that F(z) is a non-zero eigenform of all Hecke operators. In this paper, we study nonvanishing for central values of twisted modular L-function of F.
We obtain an asymptotic formula for the fourth moment of central values of a family of quadratic Hecke $L$-functions in the Gaussian field under the generalized Riemann hypothesis (GRH). We also establish lower bounds unconditionally and upper bounds under GRH for higher moments of the same family.
We prove that a cuspidal automorphic representation of GL(3) over any number field is determined by the quadratic twists of its central value. In the case of a non-Gelbart-Jacquet lift, the result is conditional on the analytic behavior of a certain Euler product. We deduce the nonvanishing of infinitely many quadratic twists of central values. This generalizes a result of Chinta and Diaconu that was valid only over the field of rational numbers and explored only for Gelbart-Jacquet lifts.
We address the problem of identifying a Hecke-Maass cusp form $f$ of full level from the central values of the Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions $L(1/2,f\otimes h)$ where $h$ runs through the set of Hecke-Maass eigenforms of full level. We prove a quantitative result in this direction.
We evaluate the first three moments of central values of a family of qudratic Hecke $L$-functions in the Gaussian field with power saving error terms. In particular, we obtain asymptotic formulas for the first two moments with error terms of size $O(X^{1/2+\varepsilon})$. We also study the first and second mollified moments of the same family of $L$-functions to show that at least $87.5\%$ of the members of this family have non-vanishing central values.
We prove new congruences between special values of Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions for $\mathrm{GL}(n+1)\times\mathrm{GL}(n)$ over arbitrary number fields. This allows us to control the behavior of $p$-adic $L$-functions under Tate twists and to prove the existence of non-abelian $p$-adic $L$-functions for Hida families on $\mathrm{GL}(n+1)\times\mathrm{GL}(n)$. As an application, we prove strong non-vanishing results for central $L$-values: We give sufficient local conditions for twisted central Rankin-Selberg $L$-values to be generically non-zero.
Let $E_{-D}$ be the elliptic curve $y^2=x^3+Dx$ defined over $K=\mathbb{Q}(i)$ for $D\in K$ which is coprime to 2. In this paper, we give a lower bound for the 2-adic valuation of the algebraic part of the central value of Hecke $L$-function associated to $E_{-D}$.
We prove an explicit central value formula for a family of complex $L$-series of degree $6$ for $\mathrm{GL}_2 \times \mathrm{GL}_3$ which arise as factors of certain Garret--Rankin triple product $L$-series associated with modular forms. Our result generalizes a previous formula of Ichino involving Saito--Kurokawa lifts, and as an application, we prove Deligne's conjecture stating the algebraicity of the central values of the considered $L$-series up to the relevant periods.
In the paper we prove an explicit formula for the central values of certain Rankin L-functions. These L-functions are L-functions of Hilbert newforms over a totally real field F, twisted by unitary Hecke characters of a totally imaginary quadratic extension of F. The formula generalizes our former result on L-functions twisted by finite characters. It also eliminates the restriction on ramifications of Popa's paper.
Given a maximal even-integral lattice $\cL$ of signature $(m+, 2-)$ with an odd $m\geq 3$, we consider the holomorphic cusp forms $F$ of weight $l$ on the bounded symmetric domain of type IV of dimension $m$ with respect to the discriminant subgroup of the orthogonal group $O(\cL)$ defined by $\cL$. Under a non-negativity assumption on the central $L$-values, we prove an equidistribution result of Satake parameters in an ensemble constructed from the central values of standard $L$-functions and the square of the Whittaker-Bessel periods.
We provide a period interpretation for multizeta values (in the function field context) in terms of explicit iterated extensions of tensor powers of Carlitz motives (mixed Carlitz-Tate t-motives). We give examples of combinatorially involved relations that these multizeta values satisfy.
This is a mostly expository note concerning the following question: How fast can we compute the value of an L-function at the center of the critical strip? It is the writeup of my talk at the Matrix Ensembles and L-Functions workshop at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge, UK on July 2005.
Let $f$ be a Maass form for $SL(3, \mathbb{Z})$ which is fixed and $u_j$ be an orthonormal basis of even Maass forms for $SL(2, \mathbb{Z}),$ we prove an asymptotic formula for the average of the product of the Rankin-Selberg $L$-function of $f$ and $u_j$ and the $L$-function of $u_j$ at the central value 1/2. This implies simultaneous nonvanishing results of these $L$-functions at $1/2.$
Let f be a newform of weight two and composite level N. We show how to compute weight 3/2 modular forms "associated" to f whose Fourier coefficients are related to the central values of quadratic twists (real and imaginary) of f. We will focus on examples for levels N=27, N=15, and N=75, which exhibit most aspects of our methods.
Here we study the recently introduced notion of a locally harmonic Maass form and its applications to the theory of $L$-functions. In particular, we find finite formulas for certain twisted central $L$-values of a family of elliptic curves in terms of finite sums over canonical binary quadratic forms. This yields vastly simpler formulas related to work of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer for such $L$-values, and extends beyond their framework to special non-CM elliptic curves.
Let $\mathitΠ$ be a cohomological irreducible cuspidal automorphic representation of ${\rm GL}_2(\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb F})$ with central character $ω_{\mathitΠ}$ over a totally real number field ${\mathbb F}$. In this paper, we prove the algebraicity of the near central non-critical value of the symmetric fourth $L$-function of $\mathitΠ$ twisted by $ω_{\mathitΠ}^{-2}$. The algebraicity is expressed in terms of the Petersson norm of the normalized newform of $\mathitΠ$ and the top degree Whittaker period of the Gelbart-Jacquet lift ${\rm Sym}^2\mathitΠ$ of $\mathitΠ$.
In this paper, we prove that a primitive Hilbert cusp form $\mathbf{g}$ is uniquely determined by the central values of the Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions $L(\mathbf{f}\otimes\mathbf{g}, \frac{1}{2})$, where $\mathbf{f}$ runs through all primitive Hilbert cusp forms of level $\mathfrak{q}$ for infinitely many prime ideals $\mathfrak{q}$. This result is a generalization of a theorem of Luo to the setting of totally real number fields.
In this paper we explore some properties of periods attached to automorphic representations of unitary groups over CM fields and the critical values of their $L$-functions. We prove a formula expressing the critical values in the range of absolute convergence in terms of Petersson norms of holomorphic automorphic forms. On the other hand, we express the Deligne period of a related motive as a product of quadratic periods and compare the two expressions by means of Deligne's conjecture.
The values at 1 of single-valued multiple polylogarithms span a certain subalgebra of multiple zeta values. In this paper, the properties of this algebra are studied from the point of view of motivic periods.
Given a closed geodesic on a compact arithmetic hyperbolic surface, we show the existence of a sequence of Laplacian eigenfunctions whose integrals along the geodesic exhibit nontrivial growth. Via Waldspurger's formula we deduce a lower bound for central values of Rankin--Selberg L-functions of Maass forms times theta series associated to real quadratic fields.
We describe a general method to obtain weak subconvexity bounds for many classes of $L$-functions. This has applications to a conjecture of Rudnick and Sarnak for the mass equidistribution of Hecke eigenforms (see arxiv.org:math/0809.1636).
