Abstract

Let $\pi$ and $\pi'$ be unitary cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}(n)$ and $\mathrm{GL}(n')$ over a number field $F$. Let $\mathfrak{C}_{\pi}$ be the analytic conductor of $\pi$. We develop a new approach to zero-free regions for $L$-functions via lower bounds for power sums, proving for all $\varepsilon>0$ the existence of ineffective constants $c=c_{n,F,\varepsilon}>0$ and $c'=c'_{n,F,\pi',\varepsilon}>0$ such that the standard $L$-function $L(s,\pi)$ satisfies \[ |L(\sigma+it,\pi)|\geq c(\mathfrak{C}_{\pi}(|t|+3))^{-\varepsilon},\qquad \sigma\geq 1-c(\mathfrak{C}_{\pi}(|t|+3))^{-\varepsilon} \] and the Rankin-Selberg $L$-function $L(s,\pi\times\pi')$ satisfies \[ |L(\sigma+it,\pi\times\pi')|\geq c'(\mathfrak{C}_{\pi}(|t|+3))^{-\varepsilon},\qquad \sigma\geq 1-c'(\mathfrak{C}_{\pi}(|t|+3))^{-\varepsilon}. \] Applications include improvements to the prime number theorems for these $L$-functions and new generalizations of the Brauer-Siegel theorem.

Zero density estimates for $\mathrm{GL}_2$ automorphic $L$-functions

We prove zero density estimates for $L$-functions of cuspidal automorphic representations $\pi$ of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}})$. We show that $N_\pi(\sigma, T) \ll T^{\frac{5}{2}(1 - \sigma) + o(1)}$, where $N_\pi(\sigma, T)$ denotes the number of zeros $\rho = \beta + i\gamma$ of $L(s,\pi)$ with $\beta \ge...

A proof of Gautschi's conjecture on subrange Jacobi polynomials

Let $\pi_n$ be the monic polynomial of degree $n$ orthogonal on $[-c,c]$, $0<c\leq1$, with respect to the Jacobi weight $(1-x)^\alpha(1+x)^\beta$, where $-1<\alpha<\beta$. Gautschi conjectured that \[ \left[ \frac{\pi_n(-c)}{\pi_n(c)} \right]^2 \left(\frac{1-c}{1+c}\right)^{\beta-\alpha}<1. \] By his variation formula,...

Reduction of Weil-Deligne Representations

Let $p$ and $\ell$ be distinct odd primes. For a finite extension $F/\mathbb{Q}_p$, the local Langlands correspondence states that there is a canonical bijection between irreducible, smooth representations of $\text{GL}_n(F)$ and $n$-dimensional, $\Phi$-semisimple Weil--Deligne representations of the Weil group $W_F$....

The typical size of Hecke eigenvalue sums is $o(\sqrt{x})$

Let $\mathcal{H}_k$ denote the set of normalized holomorphic Hecke cusp forms of weight $k$ for the full modular group $ \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$. For each $f\in\mathcal{H}_k$, let $\lambda_f(n)$ denote the corresponding eigenvalue of the normalized Hecke operator $T_n$. We prove nontrivial upper bounds for \[\sum_{f...

Bounded cohomology and optimal separating constant for representations

Let $\Sigma$ be a closed oriented surface of genus $>1$ and $M$ a complete hyperbolic 3-manifold with a marking $i:\Sigma\longrightarrow M$. We consider the case that $M$ has no parabolic cusps and at least one of the two ends is simply degenerate. For $\varGamma=\pi_1(\Sigma)$, let $\rho_M:\varGamma\longrightarrow \ma...

Hilbert's Irreducibility for $\mathbb{G}_m$

Let $K$ be a number field and $S$ a finite set of non-archimedean places. Write $\mathcal{O}_S$ for the ring of $S$-integers of $K$ and $\mathcal{O}_S^\times$ for its unit group. Let $\pi : X \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$ be a morphism of (irreducible) curves defined over $K$, and denote by $\operatorname{Red}(\pi)$ the se...
