Abstract

We consider a possible approach to the Lindelöf hypothesis for Dirichlet $L$-functions. It is based on a special form of the functional equation for the corresponding theta functions. To estimate $L_χ(0.5+it)$ we need to solve certain systems of linear equations. The entries to the corresponding matrices are formed by the summands to the series for theta functions and their derivatives. Numerical data suggest that the inverse matrices have a deep structure and allow us to state a number of conjectures. In particular, it seems that for a character modulo $q$ certain entries to the inverse matrices tend to finite limits when the sizes of the matrices run over arithmetical progressions with step $2q$. Moreover, these limits belong to the real cyclotomic field $\mathbb{Q}(\cos(π/q))$ (up to a scaling factor of $\sqrt{q}$).

On the factorisation of the $p$-adic Rankin-Selberg $L$-function in the supersingular case

Given a cusp form $f$ which is supersingular at a fixed prime $p$ away from the level, and a Coleman family $F$ through one of its $p$-stabilisations, we construct a $2$-variable meromorphic $p$-adic $L$-function for the symmetric square of $F$. We prove that this new $p$-adic $L$-function interpolates values of complex imprimitive symmetric square $L$-functions, for the various specialisations of the family $F$. We use this $p$-adic $L$-function to prove a $p$-adic factorisation formula, expressing the geometric $p$-adic $L$-function attached to the Rankin--Selberg convolution of $f$ with itself as a the product of the $p$-adic symmetric square $L$-function of $f$ and a Kubota-Leopoldt $L$-function. This extends a result of Dasgupta in the ordinary case.

Exceptional poles of archimedean Rankin-Selberg L-functions for irreducible generic representations of GL(n,R)

For irreducible generic representations $π_1$ and $π_2$ of $\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb R)$, we prove that the notions of exceptional pole of type $1$ and type $2$ coincide at every level. When both representations are in general position, we use this identification to express the Rankin--Selberg $L$-function $L(s,π_1\timesπ_2)$ in terms of the exceptional $L$-factors attached to the irreducible constituents of their derivatives.
