Abstract

In this paper, we obtain extreme values of Dirichlet $L$-functions on the critical line with a growing prime modulus. Our result yields a larger lower bound for extreme values than that from Soundararajan's classical resonance method. Consequently, we show that one branch of the dichotomy established by Bondarenko, Darbar, Hagen, Heap, and Seip (2023) can be realized for this family of Dirichlet $L$-functions. The proof relies on the resonance method together with precise estimates for GCD sums.

Visiting early at prime times

Given an integer $m \geqslant 2$ and a sufficiently large $q$, we prove that there always exists an arithmetic progression with common difference $q$ for which the $m$-th least prime in such progression is $\ll q \exp(3.8075 m)$. This is obtained using a minorant for the indicator of primes in the Maynard--Tao sieve, in parallel with Baker--Irving and Stadlmann's work on bounded gaps between primes. The dependence on $q$ is best possible. Furthermore, we generalize our result to dynamical systems. The quality of the result depends crucially on the first return time, which we illustrate in the case of Diophantine approximation.

On residual automorphic representations and period integrals for symplectic groups

We construct new irreducible components in the discrete automorphic spectrum of symplectic groups. The construction lifts a cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}_{2n}$ with a linear period to an irreducible component of the residual spectrum of the rank $k$ symplectic group $\mathrm{Sp}_k$ for any $k\ge 2n$. We show that this residual representation admits a non-zero $\mathrm{Sp}_n\times \mathrm{Sp}_{k-n}$-invariant linear form. This generalizes a construction of Ginzburg, Rallis and Soudry, the case $k=2n$, that arises in the descent method.

A Hasse principle for higher Chow groups of curves over a global field

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve over a global field $F$, and let $V(X)$ denote the kernel of the push-forward map $CH^2(X,1)\to CH^1(F,1) = F^\times$ of the higher Chow groups. For an odd prime $l$ different from the characteristic of $F$, we describe the structure of $V(X)/lV(X)$ by combining Bloch's exact sequence with a Hasse principle in Galois cohomology for the mod-$l$ Galois representation of the Jacobian variety $J$ of $X$. We also give explicit computations for elliptic curves.
