In this paper, we describe the asymptotic distribution of Hecke eigenvalues in the Laplace eigenvalue aspect for certain families of Hecke-Maass forms on compact arithmetic quotients. Instead of relying on the trace formula, which was the primary tool in preceding studies on the subject, we use Fourier integral operator methods. This allows us to treat not only spherical, but also non-spherical Hecke-Maass forms with corresponding remainder estimates. Our asymptotic formulas are available for arbitrary simple and connected algebraic groups over number fields with cocompact arithmetic subgroups.
Marvin Knopp developed the theory of automorphic integrals, which generalize automorphic forms; each automorphic integral has an additional period function in its automorphic relation. The period functions satisfy relations that arise from the underlying group relations. Knopp showed that entire automorphic integrals with rational period functions satisfy a Hecke correspondence theorem, provided the rational period functions have poles only at 0 or infinity. For other automorphic integrals each corresponding Dirichlet series has a functional equation with a remainder term that arises from the …
Given a self-dual cuspidal automorphic representation for GL(2) over a number field, we establish the existence of an infinite number of Hecke eigenvalues that are greater than an explicit positive constant, and an infinite number of Hecke eigenvalues that are less than an explicit negative constant. This provides an answer to a question of Serre. We also consider analogous problems for cuspidal automorphic representations that are not self-dual.
We show that the systems of prime-to-$p$ Hecke eigenvalues arising from automorphic forms$\pmod p$ for a good prime $p$ associated to an algebraic group $G/\mathbb Q$ of Hodge type are the same as those arising from algebraic modular forms$\pmod p$ associated to an inner form of $G$.
Let $π$ be a cohomological automorphic representation of $PGL(2)$ over a number field of arbitrary signature and assume that the local component of $π$ at a prime $\mathfrak{p}$ is the Steinberg representation. In this situation one can define an automorphic $\mathcal{L}$-invariant for each cohomological degree in which the system of Hecke eigenvalues associated to $π$ occurs. We show that these $\mathcal{L}$-invariants are (essentially) the same if the $π$-isotypic component of the cohomology is generated by the minimal degree cohomology as a module over Venkatesh's derived Hecke algebra.
We consider the genus of $20$ classes of unimodular Hermitian lattices of rank $12$ over the Eisenstein integers. This set is the domain for a certain space of algebraic modular forms. We find a basis of Hecke eigenforms, and guess global Arthur parameters for the associated automorphic representations, which recover the computed Hecke eigenvalues. Congruences between Hecke eigenspaces, combined with the assumed parameters, recover known congruences for classical modular forms, and support new instances of conjectured Eisenstein congruences for $\mathbb{U}(2,2)$ automorphic forms.
In this paper we prove a version of Deligne's conjecture for potentially automorphic motives, twisted by certain algebraic Hecke characters. The Hecke characters are chosen in such a way that we can use automorphic methods in the context of totally definite unitary groups.
We use a method of Buzzard to study p-adic families of different types of modular forms - classical, over imaginary quadratic fields and totally real fields. In the case of totally real fields of even degree, we get local constancy of dimensions of spaces of fixed slope and varying weight. For imaginary quadratic fields we obtain bounds independent of the weight on the dimensions of such spaces.
We develop cohomological interpretations for several types of automorphic forms for Hecke triangle groups of infinite covolume. We then use these interpretations to establish explicit isomorphisms between spaces of automorphic forms, cohomology spaces and spaces of eigenfunctions of transfer operators. These results show a deep relation between spectral entities of Hecke surfaces of infinite volume and the dynamics of their geodesic flows.
We prove a commutative algebra result which has consequences for congruences between automorphic forms modulo prime powers. If C denotes the congruence module for a fixed automorphic Hecke eigenform π_0 we prove an exact relation between the p-adic valuation of the order of C and the sum of the exponents of p-power congruences between the Hecke eigenvalues of π_0 and other automorphic forms. We apply this result to several situations including the congruences described by Mazur's Eisenstein ideal.
We prove for L-function attached to an automorphic cusp form for the Hecke congruence group $Γ_0(D)$, which is also an eigenfunction of all the Hecke operators, that a positive proportion of its non-trivial zeros lie on the critical line. This result extends the work of J.L. Hafner of 1983 where the case of the full modular group is considered.
This is a first part of a series of papers in which we develop explicit computational methods for automorphic forms for GL(3) and PGL(3) over elliptic function fields. In this first part, we determine explicit formulas for the action of the Hecke operators on automorphic forms on GL(2) and GL(3) in terms of their graphs. Our primary result consists in a complete description of the graphs of degree 1 Hecke operators for GL(3). As complementary results, we describe the 'even component' of the graphs of degree 2 Hecke operators for GL(2) and the 'neighborhood of the identity' of the graphs of deg…
Let $F$ be the function field of an elliptic curve $X$ over $\F_q$. In this paper, we calculate explicit formulas for unramified Hecke operators acting on automorphic forms over $F$. We determine these formulas in the language of the graph of an Hecke operator, for which we use its interpretation in terms of $¶^1$-bundles on $X$. This allows a purely geometric approach, which involves, amongst others, a classification of the $¶^1$-bundles on $X$. We apply the computed formulas to calculate the dimension of the space of unramified cusp forms and the support of a cusp form. We show that a cuspid…
Let πbe a unitary cuspidal automorphic representation for GL(n) over a number field. We establish upper bounds on the number of Hecke eigenvalues of πequal to a fixed complex number. For GL(2), we also determine upper bounds on the number of Hecke eigenvalues with absolute value equal to a fixed number γ; in the case γ=0, this answers a question of Serre. These bounds are then improved upon by restricting to non-dihedral representations. Finally, we obtain analogous bounds for a family of cuspidal automorphic representations for GL(3).
This is an expository article that concerns the various related notions of algebraic idele class characters, the Groessencharaktere of Hecke, and cohomological automorphic representations of GL(1), all under the general title of algebraic Hecke characters. The first part of the article systematically lays the foundations of algebraic Hecke characters. The only pre-requisites are: basic algebraic number theory, familiarity with the adelic language, and basic sheaf theory. Observations that play a crucial role in the arithmetic of automorphic L-functions are also discussed. The second part of th…
We find experimental examples of congruences of Hecke eigenvalues between automorphic representations of groups such as $\mathrm{GSp}_2(\mathbb{A})$, $\mathrm{SO}(4,3)(\mathbb{\mathbb{A}})$ and $\mathrm{SO}(5,4)(\mathbb{A})$, where the prime modulus should, for various reasons, appear in the algebraic part of a critical "tensor-product" $L$-value associated to cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{A})$ and $\mathrm{GSp}_2(\mathbb{A})$. Using special techniques for evaluating $L$-functions with few known coefficients, we compute sufficiently good approximations to detec…
Let $λ_ϕ(n)$ be the Fourier coefficients of a Hecke holomorphic or Hecke--Maass cusp form on ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$, and $f$ be any multiplicative function that satisfies two mild hypotheses. We establish a non-trivial upper bound for the correlation $\sum_{n \leq X}f(n)λ_ϕ(n+h)$ uniformly in $0<|h|\ll X$. As applications, we consider some special cases, including $λ_π(n), \,μ(n)λ_π(n)$ and any divisor-bounded multiplicative function. Here $λ_π(n)$ denotes the $n$-th Dirichlet coefficient of $\text{GL}_m$ automorphic $L$-function $L(s,π)$ for an automorphic irreducible cuspidal representation…
A reciprocity formula is established that expresses the fourth moment of automorphic L-functions of level q twisted by the ell-th Hecke eigenvalue as the fourth moment of automorphic L-functions of level ell twisted by the q-th Hecke eigenvalue. Direct corollaries include subconvexity bounds for L-functions in the level aspect and a short proof of an upper bound for the fifth moment of automorphic L-functions.
In this article, we determine the trace of some Hecke operators on the spaces of level one automorphic forms on the special orthogonal groups of the euclidean lattices $\mathrm{E}_7$, $\mathrm{E}_8$ and $\mathrm{E}_8\oplus \mathrm{A}_1$, with arbitrary weight. Using Arthur's theory, we deduce properties of the Satake parameters of the automorphic representations for the linear groups discovered by Chenevier and Renard. Our results corroborate a conjecture by Bergström, Faber and van der Geer about the Hasse-Weil zeta function on the moduli spaces of $17$-pointed curves of genus $3$.
We construct Eigenvarieties for PEL Shimura varieties which interpolate cuspidal, finite slope automorphic forms for PEL Shimura varieties appearing as global sections of (coherent) automorphic sheaves, under the hypothesis that the primes are unramified in the Shimura datum, but allowing the ordinary locus to be empty. We then use this construction to extend previous results on the Bloch-Kato conjecture for Hecke characters of a quadratic imaginary field.
Let $H$ be a semisimple algebraic group, $K$ a maximal compact subgroup of $G:=H(\mathbb{R})$, and $Γ\subset H(\mathbb{Q})$ a congruence arithmetic subgroup. In this paper, we generalize existing subconvex bounds for Hecke-Maass forms on the locally symmetric space $Γ\backslash G/K$ to corresponding bounds on the arithmetic quotient $Γ\backslash G$ for cocompact lattices using the spectral function of an elliptic operator. The bounds obtained extend known subconvex bounds for automorphic forms to non-trivial $K$-types, yielding subconvex bounds for new classes of automorphic representations, a…
Let $π$ be a non-self-dual unitary cuspidal automorphic representation of non-solvable polyhedral type for GL(2) over a number field. We show that $π$ has a positive upper Dirichlet density of Hecke eigenvalues in any sector whose angle is at least 2.63 radians.
Let $d \ge 1$. We study a subspace of the space of automorphic forms of $\mathrm{GL}_d$ over a global field of positive characteristic (or, a function field of a curve over a finite field). We fix a place $\infty$ of $F$, and we consider the subspace $\mathcal{A}_{\mathrm{St}}$ consisting of automorphic forms such that the local component at $\infty$ of the associated automorphic representation is the Steinberg representation (to be made precise in the text). We have two results. One theorem (Theorem 16) describes the constituents of $\mathcal{A}_{\mathrm{St}}$ as automorphic representation an…
We obtain the formula for the twisted harmonic second moment of the $L$-functions associated with primitive Hecke eigenforms of weight 2. A consequence of our mean value theorem is reminiscent of recent results of Conrey and Young on the reciprocity formula for the twisted second moment of Dirichlet $L$-functions.
We prove that sums of length about $q^{3/2}$ of Hecke eigenvalues of automorphic forms on $SL_3(\Zz)$ do not correlate with $q$-periodic functions with bounded Fourier transform. This generalizes the earlier results of Munshi and Holowinsky--Nelson, corresponding to multiplicative Dirichlet characters, and applies in particular to trace functions of small conductor modulo primes.
In this paper a theory of Hecke operators for higher order modular forms is established. The definition of cusp forms and attached L-functions is extended beyond the realm of parabolic invariants. The role of representation theoretic methods is clarified and, motivated by higher order forms, new convolution products of L-functions are introduced.
We prove upper bounds for Hecke-Laplace eigenfunctions on certain Riemannian manifolds of arithmetic type. The manifolds under consideration are d-fold products of 2-spheres or 3-spheres, realized as adelic quotients of quaternion algebras over totally real number fields.
The sup-norm problem in analytic number theory asks for the largest value taken by a given automorphic form. We observe that the function-field version of this problem can be reduced to the geometric problem of finding the largest dimension of the $i$th stalk cohomology group of a given Hecke eigensheaf at any point. This problem, in turn, can be reduced to the intersection-theoretic problem of bounding the "polar multiplicities" of the characteristic cycle of the Hecke eigensheaf, which in known cases is the nilpotent cone of the moduli space of Higgs bundles. We solve this problem for newfor…
We introduce a new trace formula of Kuznetsov type involving the central standard L-values and the Whittaker periods of cuspidal automorphic representations of PGL_n(Q) which are spherical at the archimedean place. As an application, we show a simultaneous non-vanishing of standard L-values at n-1 points on the critical strip for infinitely many Hecke-Maass cuspidal newforms.
Let $π$ be a cuspidal automorphic representation for GL(2)/$\mathbb{Q}$ that is self-dual. In this Note we show that there exists a positive upper Dirichlet density of primes at which the associated Hecke eigenvalues of $π$ are larger than a specified positive constant.
We extend Holowinsky and Soundararajan's proof of quantum unique ergodicity for holomorphic Hecke modular forms on SL(2,Z), by establishing it for automorphic forms of cohomological type on GL_2 over an arbitrary number field which satisfy the Ramanujan bounds. In particular, we have uncondtional theorems over totally real and imaginary quadratic fields. In the totally real case we show that our result implies the equidistribution of the zero divisors of holomorphic Hecke modular forms, generalising a result of Rudnick over Q.
We show that Landau-Siegel zeros for Dirichlet $L$-functions do not exist or quantum unique ergodicity for $\mathrm{GL}_2$ Hecke-Maass newforms holds with an effective rate of convergence. This follows from a more general result: Landau-Siegel zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions repel the zeros of all other automorphic $L$-functions from the line $\mathrm{Re}(s)=1$.
We extend methods of Greenberg and the author to compute in the cohomology of a Shimura curve defined over a totally real field with arbitrary class number. Via the Jacquet-Langlands correspondence, we thereby compute systems of Hecke eigenvalues associated to Hilbert modular forms of arbitrary level over a totally real field of odd degree. We conclude with two examples which illustrate the effectiveness of our algorithms.
We study the rigid cohomology of the ordinary locus in some compact PEL Shimura varieties of type C with values in automorphic local systems and use it to prove a small slope criterion for classicality of overconvergent Hecke eigenforms. This generalises the work of Coleman, and is a first step in an ongoing project to extend the cohomological approach to classicality to higher-dimensional Shimura varieties.
We study Hecke algebras for pairs $({\mathfrak g},K)$ over arbitrary fields $E$ of characteristic $0$, define the Bernstein functor and give another definition of the Zuckerman functor over $E$. Building on this and the author's previous work on rational structures on automorphic representations, we show that hard duality remains valid over $E$ and apply this result to the study of rationality properties of Sun's cohomologically induced functionals. Our main application are period relations for the special values of standard $L$-functions of automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}(2n)$ adm…
In order to compute with $l$--adic sheaves or crystals on a line over $\mathbb{F} _q$ a low-technology alternative to the traditional computation with the Hecke operators on the automorphic side could be helpful. A program which has evolved over the years in our discussions with M. Kontsevich centers around the concept that, in the geometric case, there must exist certain multiplication laws on the Galois--representation side that could be thought of as precursors of the automorphic lifts: non-abelian Abel's theorems, and their restrictions to diagonal, Clausen identities. To a varying extent,…
We consider modular functions (i.e., the Eisenstein series and Hecke-Maass forms) for the group PSL(2,Z). We fix a quadratic number field E. This gives rise to twisted (by a Hecke character of the field E) periods of a modular function along the torus corresponding to E. We prove meromorphic continuation for a Dirichlet series generated by these twisted periods.
Let $π$ be a Hecke--Maass cusp form for $\rm SL_3(\mathbb{Z})$ with normalized Hecke eigenvalues $λ_π(n,r)$. Let $f$ be a holomorphic or Maass cusp form for $\rm SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ with normalized Hecke eigenvalues $λ_f(n)$. In this paper, we are concerned with obtaining nontrivial estimates for the sum \begin{equation*} \sum_{r,n\geq 1}λ_π(n,r)λ_f(n)e\left(t\,φ(r^2n/N)\right)V\left(r^2n/N\right), \end{equation*} where $e(x)=e^{2πix}$, $V(x)\in \mathcal{C}_c^{\infty}(0,\infty)$, $t\geq 1$ is a large parameter and $φ(x)$ is some real-valued smooth function. As applications, we give an improved s…
Let $S_2^*(q)$ be the set of primitive Hecke eigenforms of weight 2 and prime level $q$. For $p$ prime and $t\in \mathbb{R}$, we prove asymptotic formulas for the sums $$ \mathcal {A}(p^j,q,t)=\sum_{f\in S_2^*(q)} L\left(\frac{1}{2}+it,f\right)^2λ_f(p^j),\qquad j=1,2, $$ where $λ_f(p^j)$ is the $p^j$-th normalized Fourier coefficient of $f$ and $L(s,f)$ is the $L$-function associated to $f$.
A theorem of Gekeler compares the number of non-isomorphic automorphic representations associated with the space of cusp forms of weight $k$ on $Γ_0(N)$ to a simpler function of $k$ and $N$, showing that the two are equal whenever $N$ is squarefree. We prove the converse of this theorem (with one small exception), thus providing a characterization of squarefree integers. We also establish a similar characterization of prime numbers in terms of the number of Hecke newforms of weight $k$ on $Γ_0(N)$. It follows that a hypothetical fast algorithm for computing the number of such automorphic repre…
Let $ϕ$ be an $L^2$-normalized Hecke--Maaß cusp form for $\mathrm{PGL}_n(\mathbb{Z}[i])$ on the locally symmetric space $X:=\mathrm{PGL}_n(\mathbb{Z}[i])\backslash \mathrm{PGL}_n(\mathbb{C}) / \mathrm{PU}_n$. If $Ω$ is a compact subset of $X$, then we prove the bound $\|ϕ|_Ω\|_{\infty}\ll_Ω λ_ϕ^{n(n-1)/4-δ}$ for some $δ>0$ depending only on $n$, where $λ_ϕ$ is the Laplace eigenvalue of $ϕ$.
A general structure theorem on higher order invariants is proven. For an arithmetic group, the structure of the corresponding Hecke module is determined. It is shown that the module does not contain any irreducible submodule. This explains the fact that L-functions of higher order forms have no Euler-product. Higher order cohomology is introduced, classical results of Borel are generalized and a higher order version of Borel's conjecture is stated.
Using Hecke triangle surfaces of finite and infinite area as examples, we present techniques for thermodynamic formalism approaches to Selberg zeta functions with unitary finite-dimensional representations $(V,χ)$ for hyperbolic surfaces (orbifolds) $Γ\backslash\mathbb{H}$ as well as transfer operator techniques to develop period-like functions for $(Γ,χ)$-automorphic cusp forms. This leads to several natural conjectures. We further show how to extend these results to the billiard flow on the underlying triangle surfaces, and study the convergence of transfer operators along sequences of Hecke…
We define and study the subspace of cuspidal functions for $G$-bundles on a class of nilpotent extensions $C$ of curves over a finite field. We show that this subspace is preserved by the action of a certain noncommutative Hecke algebra $\mathcal{H}_{G,C}$. In the case $G=\rm{GL}_2$, we construct a commutative subalgebra in $\mathcal{H}_{G,C}$ of Hecke operators associated with simple divisors. In the case of length 2 extensions and of $G=\rm{GL}_2$, we prove that the space of cuspidal functions (for bundles with a fixed determinant) is finite-dimensional and provide bounds on its dimension. I…
Let F in S_k(Sp(2g, Z)) be a cuspidal Siegel eigenform of genus g with normalized Hecke eigenvalues mu_F(n). Suppose that the associated automorphic representation pi_F is locally tempered everywhere. For each c>0 we consider the set of primes p for which |mu_F(p)| >= c and we provide an explicit upper bound on the density of this set. In the case g=2, we also provide an explicit upper bound on the density of the set of primes p for which mu_F(p) >= c.
A non-symmetric reciprocity formula is established that expresses the fourth moment of automorphic L-functions of level q and primitive central character twisted by the l-th Hecke eigenvalue as a twisted mixed moment of automorphic L-functions of level l and trivial central character. As an application, uniform subconvexity bounds for L-functions in the level and the eigenvalue aspect are derived.
We describe an algorithm for computing certain quaternionic quotients of the Bruhat-Tits tree for GL2(Qp). As an application, we describe an algorithm to obtain (conjectural) equations for the canonical embedding of Shimura curves.

Let $X$ be a curve over $\F_q$ with function field $F$. In this paper, we define a graph for each Hecke operator with fixed ramification. A priori, these graphs can be seen as a convenient language to organize formulas for the action of Hecke operators on automorphic forms. However, they will prove to be a powerful tool for explicit calculations and proofs of finite dimensionality results. We develop a structure theory for certain graphs $G_x$ of unramified Hecke operators, which is of a similar vein to Serre's theory of quotients of Bruhat Tits trees. To be precise, $G_x$ is locally a quotien…
