Abstract

Ribet's 1976 proof of the converse to Herbrand's theorem created a new paradigm in algebraic number theory by illustrating that unramified abelian Galois extensions of number fields can be constructed using Galois representations associated to Eisenstein congruences, i.e., cuspidal eigenforms that are congruent to Eisenstein series. In recent years, further progress has been made in investigating the quantity of such Eisenstein congruences, showing that when there are many such congruences, additional and finer information can be gleaned about the arithmetic structure of the related extensions. In this vein, we use new results on the existence of Eisenstein congruences in tame families to explain a computational observation about splitting behavior of primes in a certain metabelian number field.

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.
