Traces of Hecke Operators via Hypergeometric Character Sums

In this paper we obtain explicit formulas for the traces of Hecke operators on spaces of cusp forms in certain instances related to arithmetic triangle groups. These expressions are in terms of hypergeometric character sums over finite fields, a theory developed largely by Greene, Katz, Beukers-Cohen-Mellit, and Fuselier-Long-Ramakrishna-Swisher-Tu. Our approach, in contrast to the previous works, is uniform and more geometric, and it works equally well for forms on elliptic modular curves and Shimura curves. The same method can be applied to obtain eigenvalues of Hecke operators as well.

On l-adic representations for a space of noncongruence cuspforms

This paper is concerned with a compatible family of 4-dimensional \ell-adic representations ρ_{\ell} of G_\Q:=\Gal(\bar \Q/\Q) attached to the space of weight 3 cuspforms S_3 (Γ) on a noncongruence subgroup Γ\subset \SL. For this representation we prove that: 1.)It is automorphic: the L-function L(s, ρ_{\ell}^{\vee}) agrees with the L-function for an automorphic form for \text{GL}_4(\mathbb A_{\Q}), where ρ_{\ell}^{\vee} is the dual of ρ_{\ell}. 2.) For each prime p \ge 5 there is a basis h_p = \{h_p ^+, h_p ^- \} of S_3 (Γ) whose expansion coefficients satisfy 3-term Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer (ASD) relations, relative to the q-expansion coefficients of a newform f of level 432. The structure of this basis depends on the class of p modulo 12. The key point is that the representation $ρ_{\ell}$ admits a quaternion multiplication structure in the sense of a recent work of Atkin, Li, Liu and Long.

Regularity and Resolutions for Multigraded Modules

This paper is concerned with the relationships between two concepts, vanishing of cohomology groups and the structure of free resolutions. In particular, we study the connection between vanishing theorems for the local cohomology of multigraded modules and the structure of their free multigraded resolutions.
