We develop a partial trace formula which circumvents some technical difficulties in computing the Selberg trace formula for the quotient $SL_3({\Z})\backslash SL_3({\R})/SO_3({\R})$. As applications, we establish the Weyl asymptotic law for the discrete Laplace spectrum and prove that almost all of its cusp forms are tempered at infinity. The technique shows there are non-lifted cusp forms on $SL_3({\Z})\backslash SL_3({\R})/SO_3({\R})$ as well as non-self-dual ones. A self-contained description of our proof for $SL_2({\Z})\backslash \U$ is included to convey the main new ideas. Heavy use is made of truncation and the Maass-Selberg relations.
We give a derivative version of the relative trace formula on PGL(2) studied in our previous work, and obtain a formula of an average of central values (derivatives) of automorphic $L$-functions for Hilbert cusp forms. As an application, we prove existence of Hilbert cusp forms with non-vanishing central values (derivatives) such that the absolute degrees of their Hecke fields are sufficiently large.
In this paper we discuss the existence of certain classes of cuspidal automorphic representations having non-zero Fourier coefficients for general semisimple algebraic group $G$ defined over a number field $k$ such that its Archimedean group $G_\infty$ is not compact. When $G$ is quasi--split over $k$, we obtain a result on existence of generic cuspidal automorphic representations which generalize a result of Vign\' eras, Henniart, and Shahidi. We also discuss the existence of cuspidal automorphic forms with non--zero Fourier coefficients for congruence of subgroups of $G_\infty$.
Let G be a split adjoint semisimple group over Q and K a maximal compact subgroup of the real points G(R). We shall give a uniform, short and essentially elementary proof of the Weyl law for cusp forms on congruence quotients of G(R)/K. This proves a conjecture of Sarnak for Q-split groups, previously known only for the case of PGL(n). The key idea amounts to a new type of simple trace formula.
In this work we prove a prime number type theorem involving the normalised Fourier coefficients of holomorphic and Maass cusp forms, using the classical circle method. A key point is in a recent paper of Fouvry and Ganguly, based on Hoffstein-Ramakrishnan's result about the non-existence of the Siegel zeros for $GL(2)$ $L$-functions, which allows us to improve preceding estimates.
We give constraints on the existence of $(χ,b)$-factors in the global $A$-parameter of a genuine cuspidal automorphic representation $σ$ of a metaplectic group in terms of the invariant, lowest occurrence index, of theta lifts to odd orthogonal groups. We also give a refined result that relates the invariant, first occurrence index, to non-vanishing of period integrals of residues of Eisenstein series associated to the cuspidal datum $χ\otimesσ$. This complements our previous results for symplectic groups.
In this paper we address the issue of existence of cusp forms for almost simple Lie groups using the approach of the second author combined with local information on supercuspidal representations for $p$-adic groups known by the first author. We pay special attention to the case of $SL_M(\Bbb R)$ where we prove various existence results for principal congruence subgroups.
We present a method for certifying the existence of an arbitrary Maass cusp form for any level and character. This is accomplished by producing a bound on the difference between the $Δ$-eigenvalue of an authentic Maass cusp form and a purported approximation of a $Δ$-eigenvalue, arrived at by any means. We apply this method to a proposed non-CM level 5 form with quadratic character, to present the first certified $Δ$-eigenvalue of such a form. This work generalises the method for certifying level 1 forms presented by Booker, Strömbergsson and Venkatesh, and is motivated by the production of pu…
This paper proves the existence of cuspidal automorphic forms for a reductive group, invariant under an automorphism of finite order. The techniques used are a local analysis of orbital integrals and the Arthur-Selberg trace formula.
We give congruences between the Eisenstein series and a cusp form in the cases of Siegel modular forms and Hermitian modular forms. We should emphasize that there is a relation between the existence of a prime dividing the $k-1$-th generalized Bernoulli number and the existence of non-trivial Hermitian cusp forms of weight $k$. We will conclude by giving numerical examples for each case.
We study congruences between cuspidal modular forms and Eisenstein series at levels which are square-free integers and for equal even weights. This generalizes our previous results from Naskręcki [17] for prime levels and provides further evidence for the sharp bounds obtained under restrictive ramification conditions. We prove an upper bound on the exponent in the general square-free situation and also discuss the existence of the congruences when the coefficients belong to the rational numbers and weight equals 2.
Let $\bf f$ be a primitive Hilbert cusp form of weight $k$ and level $\mathfrak{n}$ with Fourier coefficients $c_{\bf f}(\mathfrak{m})$. We prove a non-trivial upper bound for almost all Fourier coefficients $c_{\bf f}(\mathfrak{m})$ of $\bf f$. This generalizes the bounds obtained by Luca, Radziwiłł and Shparlinski. We also prove the existence of infinitely many integral ideals $\mathfrak{m}$ for which the Fourier coefficients $c_{\bf f}(\mathfrak{m})$ have the improved upper bound and further we obtain a refinement of these integral ideals in terms of prime powers. In particular, this enable…
Let $F$ be a vector-valued real analytic Siegel cusp eigenform of weight $(2,1)$ with the eigenvalues $-\frac 5{12}$ and 0 for the two generators of the center of the algebra consisting of all $Sp_4(\R)$-invariant differential operators on the Siegel upper half plane of degree 2. Under the assumptions (1) the validity of the transfer of automorphic representations of $GSp_4$ to $GL_4$; (2) the existence of mod $\ell$ Galois representation attached to $F$ and its lift to characteristic zero; (3) rationality of the space consisting of any such $F$; and (4) the integrality of Hecke polynomials of…
Let $π$ be a cuspidal automorphic representation of $GL_n(\mathbb{A}_\mathbb{Q})$ which satisfies certain reasonable assumptions such as integrality of Hecke polynomials, the existence of mod $\ell$ Galois representations attached to $π$. Under Langlands functoriality of exterior $m$-th power $\wedge^m(π)$, $m=2,...,[\frac n2]$, we will construct a unique Artin representation associated to $π$. As a corollary, we obtain that such a cuspidal representation of $GL_n(\mathbb{A}_\mathbb{Q})$ satisfies the Ramanujan conjecture. We also revisit our previous work on Artin representations associated t…
Let $f$ be a Hecke cusp form of weight $k$ for the full modular group, and let $\{λ_f(n)\}_{n\geq 1}$ be the sequence of its normalized Fourier coefficients. Motivated by the problem of the first sign change of $λ_f(n)$, we investigate the range of $x$ (in terms of $k$) for which there are cancellations in the sum $S_f(x)=\sum_{n\leq x} λ_f(n)$. We first show that $S_f(x)=o(x\log x)$ implies that $λ_f(n)<0$ for some $n\leq x$. We also prove that $S_f(x)=o(x\log x)$ in the range $\log x/\log\log k\to \infty$ assuming the Riemann hypothesis for $L(s, f)$, and furthermore that this range is best …
We compute the Cheeger constants of a collection of hyperbolic surfaces corresponding to maximal non-compact arithmetic Fuchsian groups, and to subgroups which are the rotation subgroup of maximal reflection groups. The Cheeger constants are geometric quantities, but relate to the smallest eigenvalues of Maass cusp forms. From geometrical considerations, we find evidence for the existence of small eigenvalues. We search for these small eigenvalues and compute the corresponding Maass cusp forms numerically.
In this Note we show that given any cusp form πon GL(3) over the rationals, there exist an infinite number of primes p which are Ramanujan for π, i.e., that the local components π_p are tempered for an infinite number of p. It turns out that the key structural device which is needed is the degree 8 adjoint L-function of π.
The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we introduce a new method for evaluating the multiplicity of a given discrete series in the space of level $1$ automorphic forms of a split classical group $G$ over $\mathbb{Z}$, and provide numerical applications in absolute rank $\leq 8$. Second, we prove a classification result for the level one cuspidal algebraic automorphic representations of ${\rm GL}_n$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ ($n$ arbitrary) whose motivic weight is $\leq 24$. In both cases, a key ingredient is a classical method based on the Weil explicit formula, which allows to disprove the existenc…
In this paper, we prove the existence of certain lifts of Hilbert cusp forms to general odd spin groups. We then use those lifts to provide evidence for a conjecture of Gross on the modularity of abelian varieties not of ${\rm GL}_2$-type.
We obtain an asymptotic formula for a weighted sum over cuspidal eigenvalues in a specific region, for $\SL_2$ over a totally real number field $F$, with discrete subgroup of Hecke type $Γ_0(I)$ for a non-zero ideal $I$ in the ring of integers of $F$. The weights are products of Fourier coefficients. This implies in particular the existence of infinitely many cuspidal automorphic representations with multi-eigenvalues in various regions growing to infinity. For instance, in the quadratic case, the regions include floating boxes, floating balls, sectors, slanted strips and products of prescribe…
