Non-planarity of Markoff graphs mod p

We prove the non-planarity of a family of 3-regular graphs constructed from the solutions to the Markoff equation x2 + y2 + z2 = xyz modulo prime numbers greater than 7. The proof uses Euler characteristic and an enumeration of the short cycles in these gr ...

Toroidal families and averages of L-functions, I

Philippe Michel

We initiate the study of certain families of L-functions attached to characters of subgroups of higher-rank tori, and of their average at the central point. In particular, we evaluate the average of the values L( 2 1 , chi a )L( 21 , chi b ) for arbitrary ...

Algebraic twists of GL(2) automorphic forms

Vignesh Arumugam Nadarajan

In this thesis we consider the problem of estimating the correlation of Hecke eigenvalues of GL2 automorphic forms with a class of functions of algebraic origin defined over finite fields called trace functions. The class of trace functions is vast and inc ...

ALGEBRAIC TWISTS OF GL3 x GL2 L-FUNCTIONS

Philippe Michel, Yongxiao Lin

We prove that the coefficients of a GL3 x GL2 Rankin-Selberg L-function do not correlate with a wide class of trace functions of small conductor modulo primes, generalizing the corresponding result of Fouvry, Kowalski, and Michel for GL2 and of Kowalski, L ...

A NEW PROOF OF THE ERDOS-KAC CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM

Thomas Mountford, Michael Cranston

In this paper we use the Riemann zeta distribution to give a new proof of the Erdos-Kac Central Limit Theorem. That is, if zeta(s) = Sigma(n >= 1) (1)(s)(n) , s > 1, then we consider the random variable X-s with P(X-s = n) = (1) (zeta) ( ...

The double exponential runtime is tight for 2-stage stochastic ILPs

Kim-Manuel Klein, Klaus Jansen, Alexandra Anna Lassota

We consider fundamental algorithmic number theoretic problems and their relation to a class of block structured Integer Linear Programs (ILPs) called 2-stage stochastic. A 2-stage stochastic ILP is an integer program of the form min{c(T)x vertical bar Ax = ...

Experiments with the Markoff Surface

Matthew De Courcy-Ireland, Sandy Lee

We confirm, for the primes up to 3000, the conjecture of Bourgain-Gamburd-Sarnak and Baragar on strong approximation for the Markoff surface modulo primes. For primes congruent to 3 modulo 4, we find data suggesting that some natural graphs constructed fro ...

Generalized Norm-compatible Systems on Unitary Shimura Varieties

Mohamed Réda Boumasmoud

We define and study in terms of integral Iwahoriâ Hecke algebras a new class of geometric operators acting on the Bruhat-Tits building of connected reductive groups over p-adic fields. These operators, which we call U-operators, generalize the geometric n ...

Some applications of smooth bilinear forms with Kloosterman sums

Philippe Michel

We revisit a recent bound of I. Shparlinski and T. Zhang on bilinear forms with Kloosterman sums, and prove an extension for correlation sums of Kloosterman sums against Fourier coefficients of modular forms. We use these bounds to improve on earlier resul ...

On Moments Of Twisted L-Functions

Philippe Michel

We study the average of the product of the central values of two L-functions of modular forms f and g twisted by Dirichlet characters to a large prime modulus q. As our principal tools, we use spectral theory to develop bounds on averages of shifted convol ...

Bilinear forms with Kloosterman sums and applications

Philippe Michel

We prove nontrivial bounds for general bilinear forms in hyper-Kloosterman sums when the sizes of both variables may be below the range controlled by Fourier-analytic methods (Polya-Vinogradov range). We then derive applications to the second moment of cus ...

In this paper we give a description of a practical analytic method for the computation of pi(x), the number of prime numbers

Universal p'-central extensions

Jacques Thévenaz, Caroline Lassueur

It is well-known that a finite group possesses a universal central extension if and only if it is a perfect group. Similarly, given a prime number p, we show that a finite group possesses a universal p′-central extension if and only if the p′-part of its a ...

Incidences between points and generalized spheres over finite fields and related problems

Van Thang Pham

Let F-q be a finite field of q elements, where q is a large odd prime power and Q = a(1)x(1)(c1) + ..... + a(d)x(d)(cd) is an element of F-q[x(1) ,...,x(d)], where 2

Isogeny graphs of ordinary abelian varieties

Benjamin Pierre Charles Wesolowski, Dimitar Petkov Jetchev, Ernest Hunter Brooks

Fix a prime number l. Graphs of isogenies of degree a power of l are well-understood for elliptic curves, but not for higher-dimensional abelian varieties. We study the case of absolutely simple ordinary abelian varieties over a finite field. We analyse gr ...

On The Exponent Of Distribution Of The Ternary Divisor Function

Philippe Michel

We show that the exponent of distribution of the ternary divisor function d(3) in arithmetic progressions to prime moduli is at least 1/2 + 1/46, improving results of Friedlander-Iwaniec and Heath-Brown. Furthermore, when averaging over a fixed residue cla ...

Prime Power Terms In Elliptic Divisibility Sequences

Valéry Aurélien Mahé

We study a problem on specializations of multiples of rational points on elliptic curves analogous to the Mersenne problem. We solve this problem when descent via isogeny is possible by giving explicit bounds on the indices of prime power terms in elliptic ...

Gaussian distribution for the divisor function and Hecke eigenvalues in arithmetic progressions

Philippe Michel

We show that, in a restricted range, the divisor function of integers in residue classes modulo a prime follows a Gaussian distribution, and a similar result for Hecke eigenvalues of classical holomorphic cusp forms. Furthermore, we obtain the joint distri ...

A direct comparison of unconscious face processing under masking and interocular suppression

Nathan Quentin Faivre, Julien Dubois

Different combinations of forward and backward masking as well as interocular suppression have been used extensively to render stimuli invisible and to study those aspects of visual stimuli that are processed in the absence of conscious experience. Althoug ...

Hybrid Bounds For Automorphic Forms On Ellipsoids Over Number Fields

Philippe Michel

We prove upper bounds for Hecke-Laplace eigenfunctions on certain Riemannian manifolds X of arithmetic type, uniformly in the eigenvalue and the volume of the manifold. The manifolds under consideration are d-fold products of 2-spheres or 3-spheres, realiz ...
