We show that the slopes of the~$U_5$ operator acting on slopes of 5-adic overconvergent modular forms of weight~$k$ with primitive Dirichlet character~$χ$ of conductor~25 are given by either \[ \left\{{1/4}\cdot\lfloor\frac{8i}{5}\rfloor: i \in \N\right\}\text{or }\left\{{1/4}\cdot\lfloor\frac{8i+4}{5}\rfloor: i \in \N\right\}, \] depending on~$k$ and~$χ$.
The slope of a p-adic overconvergent eigenform of weight k is the p-adic valuation of its U_p eigenvalue. We find the slope of all 2-adic finite slope overconvergent eigenforms of tame level 1 and weight 0. As a consequence we prove that any finite slope 2-adic overconvergent eigenform of tame level 1 and weight 0 has coefficients in Q_2. These results provide evidence towards conjectures of the first author that predict the slopes of classical p-adic modular forms under a mild ``Gamma_0(N)''-regular hypothesis on p.
In this article we will show how to compute $U_p$ acting on spaces of overconvergent $p$-adic modular forms when $X_0(p)$ has genus 1. We first give a construction of Banach bases for spaces of overconvergent $p$-adic modular forms, and then give an algorithm to approximate both the characteristic power series of the $U_p$ operator and eigenvectors of finite slope for $U_p$, and present some explicit examples. We will also relate this to the conjectures of Clay on the slopes of overconvergent modular forms.
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.
Let $τ$ be the primitive Dirichlet character of conductor 4, let $χ$ be the primitive even Dirichlet character of conductor 8 and let $k$ be an integer. Then the $U_2$ operator acting on cuspidal overconvergent modular forms of weight $2k+1$ and character $τ$ has slopes in the arithmetic progression ${2,4,...,2n,...}$, and the $U_2$ operator acting on cuspidal overconvergent modular forms of weight $k$ and character $χ\cdot τ^k$ has slopes in the arithmetic progression ${1,2,...,n,...}$. We then show that the characteristic polynomials of the Hecke operators $U_2$ and $T_p$ acting on the space…
Let χ be the primitive Dirichlet character of conductor 49 defined by χ(3)=ζ, for ζ a primitive 42nd root of unity. We explicitly compute the slopes of the U_7 operator acting on the space of overconvergent modular forms on X_1(49) with weight k and character either χ^{7k-6} or χ^{8-7k}, depending on the embedding of Q(ζ) into C_7. By applying results of Coleman, and of Cohen-Oesterlé, we are then able to conclude the slopes of U_7 acting on all classical Hecke newforms of the same weight and character.
We give an explicit description of the matrix associated to the $U_p$ operator acting on spaces of overconvergent Hilbert modular forms over totally real fields. Using this, we compute slopes for weights in the centre and near the boundary of weight space for certain real quadratic fields. \added[id=h]{Near the boundary of weight space we see that the slopes do not appear to be given by finite unions of arithmetic progressions but instead can be produced by a simple recipe from which we make a conjecture on the structure of slopes. We also prove a lower bound on the Newton polygon of the $U_p$…
The goal of this paper is to construct the p-adic analytic family of overconvergent half-integral weight modular forms using Hecke-equivariant overconvergent Shintani lifting. The classical Shintani map is the Hecke-equivariant map from the space of cusp forms of integral weight to the space of cusp forms of half-integral weight. Glenn Stevens proved in [St1] that there is Lamda-adic lifting of this map to the Hida family of ordinary cusp forms of integral weight and consequently constructed Lamda-adic modular eigen form of half-integral weight. The natural thing to do is generalizing his resu…
Let $G'$ be a connected reductive group over $\mathbb{Q}$ such that $G = G'/\mathbb{Q}_p$ is quasi-split, and let $Q \subset G$ be a parabolic subgroup. We introduce parahoric overconvergent cohomology groups with respect to $Q$, and prove a classicality theorem showing that the small slope parts of these groups coincide with those of classical cohomology. This allows the use of overconvergent cohomology at parahoric, rather than Iwahoric, level, and provides flexible lifting theorems that appear to be particularly well-adapted to arithmetic applications. When $Q$ is the Borel, we recover the …
The main result of this paper is an instance of the conjecture made by Gouvea and Mazur (Math. Res. Lett., 1995) which asserts that for certain values of r the space of r-overconvergent p-adic modular forms of tame level N and weight k should be spanned by the finite slope Hecke eigenforms. Using methods adapted from the work of Buzzard and Calegari I show that for p=2, k = 0, N = 1, this holds for all r in (5/12, 7/12). The proof relies on a certain factorisation of the U_p operator which is known in this case but I conjecture also holds for p = 3 and 5; this conjecture also implies exact for…
We prove a gluing lemma for sections of line bundles on a rigid analytic variety. We apply the lemma, in conjunction with a result of Buzzard's, to give a proof of (a generalization) of Coleman's theorem which states that overconvergent modular forms of small slope are classical. The proof is "geometric" in nature, and is suitable for generalization to other PEL Shimura varieties.
We give a new proof of the slope classicality theorem in classical and higher Coleman theory for modular curves at arbitrary level using the completed cohomology classes attached to overconvergent modular forms. The latter give an embedding of the quotient of overconvergent modular forms by classical modular forms, which is the obstruction space for classicality in either cohomological degree, into a unitary representation of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)$. The $U_p$ operator becomes a double-coset, and unitarity yields the slope vanishing.
The minimal slope conjecture, which was proposed by K.Kedlaya, asserts that two irreducible overconvergent $F$-isocrystals on a smooth variety are isomorphic to each other if both minimal slope constitutions of slope filtrations are isomorphic to each other. We affirmatively solve the minimal slope conjecture for overconvergent $F$-isocrystals on curves and for overconvergent $\bar{\mathbb Q}_p$-$F$-isocrystals on smooth varieties over finite fields.
In a previous article, we constructed an entire power series over $p$-adic weight space (the 'ghost series') and conjectured, in the $Γ_0(N)$-regular case, that this series encodes the slopes of overconvergent modular forms of any $p$-adic weight. In this paper, we construct 'abstract ghost series' which can be associated to various natural subspaces of overconvergent modular forms. This abstraction allows us to generalize our conjecture to, for example, the case of slopes of overconvergent modular forms with a fixed residual representation that is locally reducible at $p$. Ample numerical evi…
In this note, we construct explicit bases for spaces of overconvergent $p$-adic modular forms when $p=2,3$ and study their stability under the Atkin operator. The resulting extension of the algorithms of Lauder is illustrated with computations of slope sequences of some $2$-adic eigencurves and the construction of Chow-Heegner points on elliptic curves via special values of Rankin triple product L-functions.
Let f be a modular form with complex multiplication. If f has critical slope, then Coleman's classicality theorem implies that there is a p-adic overconvergent generalized Hecke eigenform with the same Hecke eigenvalues as f. We give a formula for the Fourier coefficiets of this generalized Hecke eigenform. We also investigate the dimension of the generalized Hecke eigenspace of p-adic overconvergent forms containing f.
For p=2 and tame level N=1 we prove that the map from the (Coleman-Mazur) Eigencurve to weight space satisfies the valuative criterion of properness. More informally, we show that the Eigencurve has no "holes"; given a punctured disc of finite slope overconvergent eigenforms over weight space, the center can be "filled in" with a finite slope overconvergent eigenform.
In this paper we define Banach spaces of overconvergent half-integral weight $p$-adic modular forms and Banach modules of families of overconvergent half-integral weight $p$-adic modular forms over admissible open subsets of weight space. Both spaces are equipped with a continuous Hecke action for which $U_{p^2}$ is moreover compact. The modules of families of forms are used to construct an eigencurve parameterizing all finite-slope systems of eigenvalues of Hecke operators acting on these spaces. We also prove an analog of Coleman's theorem stating that overconvergent eigenforms of suitably l…
We reinterpret the explicit construction of Gross points given by Chida-Hsieh as a non-Archimedian analogue of the standard geodesic cycle from zero to the infinity on the Poincare upper half plane. This analogy allows us to consider certain distributions, which can be regarded as anticyclotomic p-adic L-functions for modular forms of non-critical slope following the overconvergent strategy a la Stevens. We also give a geometric interpretation of their Gross points for the case of weight two forms. Our construction generalizes those of Bertolini-Darmon, Bertolini-Darmon-Iovita-Spiess, and Chid…
We construct an Euler system of $p$-adic zeta elements over the eigencurve which interpolates Kato's zeta elements over all classical points. Applying a big regulator map gives rise to a purely algebraic construction of a two-variable $p$-adic $L$-function over the eigencurve. As a first application of these ideas, we prove the equality of the $p$-adic $L$-functions associated with a critical-slope refinement of a modular form by the works of Bellaïche/Pollack-Stevens and Kato/Perrin-Riou.
Since Rob Pollack and Glenn Stevens used overconvergent modular symbols to construct p-adic L-functions for non-critical slope rational modular forms, the theory has been extended to construct p-adic L-functions for non-critical slope automorphic forms over totally real and imaginary quadratic fields by the first and second authors respectively. In this paper, we give an analogous construction over a general number field. In particular, we start by proving a control theorem stating that the specialisation map from overconvergent to classical modular symbols is an isomorphism on the small slope…
We p-adically interpolate the relative de Rham cohomology of the universal elliptic curve over strict neighbourhoods of the ordinary locus of modular curves, together with the Hodge filtration and Gauss-Manin connection. Sections of these sheaves provide the so called nearly overconvergent modular forms. This extends previous work of Andreatta, Iovita and Pilloni where we p-adically interpolate powers of the Hodge bundle and in that case the sections coincide with Coleman overconvergent modular forms. We also show that, under suitable assumptions, one can p-adically interpolate the Gauss-Manin…
I present a general theory of overconvergent p-adic automorphic forms and eigenvarieties for connected reductive algebraic groups G whose real points are compact modulo centre, extending earlier constructions due to Buzzard, Chenevier and Yamagami for forms of GL(n). This leads to some new phenomena, including the appearance of intermediate spaces of "semi-classical" automorphic forms; this gives a hierarchy of interpolation spaces (eigenvarieties) interpolating classical automorphic forms satisfying different finite slope conditions (corresponding to a choice of parabolic subgroup of G at p).…
We show that for arithmetic weights with a fixed finite order character, the slopes of $U_p$ (for $p=2$) acting on overconvergent Hilbert modular forms of level $U_0(4)$ are independent of the (algebraic part of the) weight and can be obtained by a simple recipe from the classical slopes in parallel weight $3$.
Let F be a totally real field and p a rational prime unramified in F. We prove a partial classicality theorem for overconvergent Hilbert modular forms: when the slope is small compared to certain but not all weights, an overconvergent form is partially classical. We use the method of analytic continuation.
We formulate a conjecture on slopes of overconvergent p-adic cuspforms of any p-adic weight in the Gamma_0(N)-regular case. This conjecture unifies a conjecture of Buzzard on classical slopes and more recent conjectures on slopes "at the boundary of weight space".
For ordinary modular forms, there are two constructions of a p-adic L-function attached to the non-unit root of the Hecke polynomial, which are conjectured but not known to coincide. We prove this conjecture for modular forms of CM type, by calculating the the critical-slope L-function arising from Kato's Euler system and comparing this with results of Bellaiche on the critical-slope L-function defined using overconvergent modular symbols.
We give a new proof of Faltings's p-adic Eichler-Shimura decomposition of the modular curves via BGG methods and the Hodge-Tate period map. The key property is the relation between the Tate module and the Faltings extension, which was already used in the original proof. Then, we construct overconvergent Eichler-Shimura (ES) maps for the modular curves providing ''the second half'' of the overconvergent ES map of Andreatta-Iovita-Stevens. We use higher Coleman theory on the modular curve developed by Boxer-Pilloni to show that the small slope part of the ES maps interpolates the classical p-adi…
Let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_{p}$ and let $Γ$ be the Galois group of the cyclotomic extension of $K$. Fontaine's theory gives a classification of $p$-adic representations of $\mathrm{Gal}\left(\overline{K}/K\right)$ in terms of $(φ,Γ)$-modules. A useful aspect of this classification is Berger's dictionary which expresses invariants coming from $p$-adic Hodge theory in terms of these $\left(φ,Γ\right)$-modules. In this paper, we use the theory of locally analytic vectors to generalize this dictionary to the setting where $Γ$ is the Galois group of a Lubin-Tate extension of $K$. …
Let $F$ be a totally real field in which $p$ is unramified. We prove that, if a cuspidal overconvergent Hilbert cuspidal form has small slopes under $U_p$-operators, then it is classical. Our method follows the original cohomological approach of Coleman. The key ingredient of the proof is giving an explicit description of the Goren-Oort stratification of the special fiber of the Hilbert modular variety. A byproduct of the proof is to show that, at least when $p$ is inert, of the rigid cohomology of the ordinary locus has the same image as the classical forms in the Grothendieck group of Hecke …
The ghost conjecture, formulated by this article's authors, predicts the list of p-adic valuations of the non-zero p-th eigenvalues ("slopes") for overconvergent p-adic modular eigenforms in terms of the Newton polygon of an easy-to-describe power series (the "ghost series"). The prediction is restricted to eigenforms whose Galois representation modulo p is reducible on a decomposition group at p. It has been discovered, however, that the conjecture is not formulated correctly. Here we explain the issue and propose a salvage.
We formulate a conjecture on slopes of overconvergent p-adic cuspforms of any p-adic weight in the Gamma_0(N)-regular case. This conjecture unifies a conjecture of Buzzard on classical slopes and more recent conjectures on slopes "at the boundary of weight space".
We construct some $n$-dimensional eigenvarieties for finite slope overconvergent eigenforms over some unitary Shimura varieties with signature $(1,n-1)\times(0,n)\times\cdots\times(0,n)$ by adapting Andreatta-Iovita-Pilloni's method. We also show that there are some Galois pseudo-characters over our eigenvarieties by studying analytic continuation of finite slope eigenforms over these Shimura varieties.
In this work we construct an eigencurve for p-adic modular forms attached to an indefinite quaternion algebra over Q. Our theory includes the definition, both as rules on test objects and sections of line bundle, of p-adic modular forms, convergent and overconvergent, of any p-adic weight. We prove that our modular forms can be put in analytic families over the weight space and we introduce the Hecke operators U and T_l, that can also be put in families. We show that the U-operator acts compactly on the space of overconvergent modular forms. We finally construct the eigencurve, a rigid analyti…
Let $F$ be a function field over $\mathbb{F}_q$, $A$ its ring of regular functions outside a place $\infty$ and $\mathfrak{p}$ a prime ideal of $A$. First, we develop Hida theory for Drinfeld modular forms of rank $r$ which are of slope zero for a suitably defined Hecke operator $\mathrm{U}_{\mathfrak{p}}$. Second, we show the existence in the finite slope case of families of Drinfeld modular forms varying continuously with respect to the weight. Finally, we show a classicity result: an overconvergent Drinfeld modular form of sufficiently small slope with respect to the weight is a classical D…
The theory of overconvergent modular symbols, developed by Rob Pollack and Glenn Stevens, gives a beautiful and effective construction of the $p$-adic $L$-function of a modular form. In this paper, we give an analogue of their results for Bianchi modular forms, that is, modular forms over imaginary quadratic fields. In particular, we prove control theorems that say that the canonical specialisation map from overconvergent to classical Bianchi modular symbols is an isomorphism on small slope eigenspaces of suitable Hecke operators. We also give an explicit link between the classical modular sym…
Let $p\ge 5$ be a prime, and let $f$ be a cuspidal eigenform of weight at least $2$ and level coprime to $p$ of finite slope $α$. Let $\barρ_f$ denote the mod $p$ Galois representation associated with $f$ and $ω$ the mod $p$ cyclotomic character. Under an assumption on the weight of $f$, we prove that there exists a cuspidal eigenform $g$ of weight at least $2$ and level coprime to $p$ of slope $α+1$ such that $$\barρ_f \otimes ω\simeq \barρ_g,$$ up to semisimplification. The proof uses Hida-Coleman families and the theta operator acting on overconvergent forms. The structure of the reductions…
We consider $p$-adic families of Siegel eigenforms of genus $2$ and finite slope, defined as local pieces of an eigenvariety and equipped with a suitable integral structure. Under some assumptions on the residual image, we show that the image of the Galois representation associated with a family is big, in the sense that a Lie algebra attached to it contains a congruence subalgebra of non-zero level. We call Galois level of the family the largest such level. We show that it is trivial when the residual representation has full image. When the residual representation is a symmetric cube, the zer…
We construct $p$-adic $L$-functions associated with $p$-refined cohomological cuspidal Hilbert modular forms over any totally real field under a mild hypothesis. Our construction is canonical, varies naturally in $p$-adic families, and does not require any small slope or non-criticality assumptions on the $p$-refinement. The main new ingredients are an adelic definition of a canonical map from overconvergent cohomology to a space of locally analytic distributions on the relevant Galois group and a smoothness theorem for certain eigenvarieties at critically refined points.
In this article we construct a $p$-adic three dimensional Eigenvariety for the group $U(2,1)(E)$, where $E$ is a quadratic imaginary field and $p$ is inert in $E$. The Eigenvariety parametrizes Hecke eigensystems on the space of overconvergent, locally analytic, cuspidal Picard modular forms of finite slope. The method generalized the one developed in Andreatta-Iovita-Pilloni by interpolating the coherent automorphic sheaves when the ordinary locus is empty. As an application of this construction, we reprove a particular case of the Bloch-Kato conjecture for some Galois characters of $E$, exte…
We study the relationship between recent conjectures on slopes of overconvergent p-adic modular forms "near the boundary" of p-adic weight space. We also prove in tame level 1 that the coefficients of the Fredholm series of the U_p operator never vanish modulo p, a phenomenon that fails at higher level. In higher level, we do check that infinitely many coefficients are non-zero modulo p using a modular interpretation of the mod p reduction of the Fredholm series recently discovered by Andreatta, Iovita and Pilloni.
In this paper, we derive a formula for the p-adic syntomic regulators of Asai--Flach classes. These are cohomology classes forming an Euler system associated to a Hilbert modular form over a quadratic field, introduced in an earlier paper (arXiv:1607.07813) by Antonio Lei and the first and third authors. The formula we develop here is expressed in terms of differential operators acting on overconvergent Hilbert modular forms; it is analogous to existing formulae for the regulators of Beilinson--Flach classes, but a novel feature is the appearance of a projection operator associated to a critic…
In this article, we describe an efficient method for computing Teitelbaum's $p$-adic $\mathcal{L}$-invariant. These invariants are realized as the eigenvalues of the $\mathcal{L}$-operator acting on a space of harmonic cocycles on the Bruhat-Tits tree $\mathcal{T}$, which is computable by the methods of Franc and Masdeu described in [FM14]. The main difficulty in computing the $\mathcal{L}$-operator is the efficient computation of the $p$-adic Coleman integrals in its definition. To solve this problem, we use overconvergent methods, first developed by Darmon, Greenberg, Pollack and Stevens. In…
Let x be a point in R^2 with irrational slope and let Γdenote the lattice SL(2,Z) acting linearly on R^2. Then, the orbit Γx is dense in R^2. We give efective results on the approximation of a point y in R^2 by points of the form γx, where γbelongs to Γ, in terms of the size of γ.
We study the diagonalizability of the Atkin $U_t$-operator acting on Drinfeld cusp forms for $Γ_0(t)$: starting with the slopes of eigenvalues and then moving to the space of cusp forms for $Γ_1(t)$ to use Teitelbaum's interpretation as harmonic cocycles which makes computations more explicit. We prove $U_t$ is diagonalizable in odd characteristic for (relatively) small weights and explicitly compute the eigenvalues. In even characteristic we show that it is not diagonalizable when the weight is odd (except for the trivial cases) and prove some cases of non diagonalizability in even weight as …
We discuss modular forms as objects of computer algebra and as elements of certain p-adic Banach modules. Problem-solving approach in number theory is discussed which is based on the use of generating functions and their links with modular forms. In particular, the critical values of various L-functions of modular forms produce non-trivial but computable solutions of arithmetical problems. Namely, for a prime number $p\ge 5$, we consider three classical cusp eigenforms $$f_j(z)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_{n,j}e(nz)\in \Sr_{k_j}(N_j, ψ_j),\ (j=1, 2,3)$$ of weights k_1, k_2, k_3, of conductors N_1, N_2…
For a prime number $p\ge 5$, we consider three classical cusp eigenforms $f_j(z)$ of weights $k_1, k_2, k_3$, of conductors $N_1, N_2, N_3$, and of nebentypus characters $ψ_j \bmod N_j$. According to H.Hida and R.Coleman, one can include each $f_j$ into a {$p$-adic analytic family} $k_j \mapsto \{f_{j,k_j}\}$ of cusp eigenforms $f_{j,k_j}$ of weights $k_j$ in such a way that $f_{j,k_j}=f_j$, and that all their Fourier coefficients $a_n(f_{j, k_j})$ are given by certain $p$-adic analytic functions $k_j{}\mapsto a_{n, j}(k_j{})$. The purpose of this paper is to describe a four variable $p$-adic …
