We introduce an infinite family of Kronecker series twisted by characters. As an application, we give a closed formula for the sum of all Hecke eigenforms on $Γ_0(N) $ multiplied by their twisted period polynomials in terms of the product of those twisted Kronecker series, when N is square free. This extends an identity of Zagier among period polynomials, Hecke eigenforms and a quotient of Jacobi theta series.
For primes $p>3$ we produce a new derivation of the universal $p$-adic sigma function and $p$-adic Weierstrass zeta functions of Mazur and Tate for ordinary elliptic curves by a method that highlights congruences among coefficients in Laurent expansions of elliptic functions, and works simultaneously for generalized elliptic curves defined by Weierstrass equations.
For an abelian variety $A$ over an algebraically closed non-archimedean field of residue characteristic $p$, we show that there exists a perfectoid space which is the tilde-limit of $\varprojlim_{[p]}A$. Our proof also works for the larger class of abeloid varieties.
Inspired by the analogy between the group of units $\mathbb{F}_p^{\times}$ of the finite field with $p$ elements and the group of points $E(\mathbb{F}_p)$ of an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{F}_p$, E. Kowalski, A. Akbary & D. Ghioca, and T. Freiberg & P. Kurlberg investigated the asymptotic behaviour of elliptic curve sums analogous to the Titchmarsh divisor sum $\sum_{p \leq x} τ(p + a) \sim C x$. In this paper, we present a comprehensive study of the constants $C(E)$ emerging in the asymptotic study of these elliptic curve divisor sums. Specifically, by analyzing the division fields of an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$, we prove upper bounds for the constants $C(E)$ and, in the generic case of a Serre curve, we prove explicit closed formulae for $C(E)$ amenable to concrete computations. Moreover, we compute the moments of the constants $C(E)$ over two-parameter families of elliptic curves $E/\mathbb{Q}$. Our methods and results complement recent studies of average constants occurring in other conjectures about reductions of elliptic curves by addressing not only the average behaviour, but also the individual behaviour of these constants, and by providing explicit tools towards the computational verifications of the expected asymptotics.
