Titel Motivic Euler products

Abstract The Grothendieck group of varieties over a field k is the quotient of the free abelian group on the set of isomorphism classes of varieties by the so-called cut-and-paste relations. It also has a ring structure coming from the product of varieties over the field k. In this talk I am going to show how certain power series with coefficients in this ring may be endowed with an Euler product decomposition. This will in particular apply to Kapranov's zeta function of a variety, which is a motivic version of the Hasse-Weil zeta function. I will finish by discussing a possible application of these Euler products to the geometric analogue of Manin's conjecture for equivariant compactifications of vector groups, through the study of motivic height zeta functions.

Abstract Let X be a connected scheme, smooth and separated over an algebraic ally closed field k of characteristic p, let f:Y-> X be a smooth proper morphism and x a geometric point on X. We show that the tensor invariants of bounded length d of the etale fundamental group \pi_1(X) acting on the \'etale cohomology groups H^*(Y_x,\F_l) are the reduction modulo-l of the tensor invariants of \pi_1(X,x) acting on H^*(Y_x,\Z_l) for l large enough depending on f:Y-> X, d. We use this result to discuss semisimplicity and maximality issues about the image of \pi_1(X,x) on H^*(Y_x,\Z_l). This is a joint work with Chun-Yin Hui and Akio Tamagawa.

Abstract The p-curvature conjecture predicts that a connection in characteristic zero is isotrivial (almost) all its p-curvatures vanish. We make a (much) stronger assumption in order to be able to derive some properties of the connection. Joint work with Mark Kisin.

Titel The Distribution of Slopes of Gaussian Primes for the Rational Function Field
Referent:in, Affiliation Ezra Waxman, Tel Aviv University
Datum, Zeit 13. Mai 2016, 14:15-15:15
Ort HG G 43
Abstract Hecke proved that the Gaussian primes are equidistributed across sectors of the complex plane, by making use of (infinite) Hecke characters and their associated L-functions. In this talk I will present a function field analogue to this result, by making use of "super even" characters and their associated L-functions. By applying a recent result of N. Katz concerning the equidistribution of super even characters, I will also provide a result for the variance of function field Gaussian primes across sectors; a computation whose analogue in number fields is unknown beyond a trivial regime.

Titel Borcherds forms near the boundary
Referent:in, Affiliation Steve Kudla, University of Toronto
Datum, Zeit 20. Mai 2016, 14:15-15:15
Ort HG G 43
Abstract Borcherds’ regularized theta lift gives rise to a remarkable family of meromorphic automorphic forms for orthogonal groups of rational quadratic spaces of signature (m,2). In particular, these forms have a explicitly given divisor and product formulas, convergent in the neighborhood of each point boundary component. In this talk, I will explain another collection of product formulas for a Borcherds form. These exist under the assumption that the rational quadratic space admits isotropic planes, and each is convergent in a neighborhood of a curve boundary component. The Fourier-Jacobi expansion of the Borcherds form and its vanishing order at the corresponding divisor in the toridal compactification can be read off from the second product formula. I will then discuss how these results are used in joint work with Bruinier, Howard, Rapoport and Yang on modularity of generating series for special divisors on unitary Shimura varieties.

Titel p-adic analytic twists, modularity, and strong subconvexity
Referent:in, Affiliation Djordje Milićević, Bryn Mawr College
Datum, Zeit 27. Mai 2016, 14:15-15:15
Ort HG G 43
Abstract One of the principal analytic questions about automorphic L-functions are the so-called subconvex estimates on the size of their critical values, deeply arithmetic both in proofs and in the often spectacular consequences. In this talk, we will present our recent subconvexity bound for the central value of the L-function associated to a fixed cuspidal newform f twisted by a Dirichlet character chi of a high prime power conductor. From an adelic viewpoint, the analogy between this so-called "depth aspect" and the familiar t-aspect is particularly natural, as one is focusing on ramification at one (finite or infinite) place at a time. We prove our results by exhibiting strong cancellation between the Hecke eigenvalues of f and the values of chi, which act as twists by exponentials with a p-adically analytic phase. Among the tools, we develop p-adic counterparts to Farey dissection and van der Corput estimates for exponential sums. This is joint work with Valentin Blomer.

Titel Hyperbolic lattice points counting and bounds on various Fourier coefficients of Maass forms
Referent:in, Affiliation Prof. Dr. Andre Reznikov, Bar-Ilan University
Datum, Zeit 14. Juli 2016, 14:15-15:15
Ort HG G 43
Abstract We discuss how effective lattice points counting could be used in order to bound non-trivially unipotent/hyperbolic/spherical Fourier coefficients of a fixed Maass form. While the resulting exponents in our method are far from the best known, the method is soft and appeals only to L^2-theory.
