We will investigate the relationship between Ihara's zeta functions of Ramanujan graphs and Hasse-Weil's congruent zeta functions of modular curves. As an application we will describe the limit value of Hasse-Weil's congruent zeta functions in terms of the corresponding Ramanujan graphs. Moreover we will show a congruence relation of the Fourier coefficients of a normalized Hecke eigenform of weight 2.
Let l be an odd prime. We will construct a tower of connected regular Ramanujan graph of degree l+1 from of modular curves. This supplies an example of a collection of graphs whose discrete Cheeger constants are bounded by (sqrt{l}-1)^{2}/2 from below. We also show graph (or Ihara) zeta functions satisfy a certain reciprocity law.
Hecke expected that an explicit set of theta series obtained from maximal orders of the definite quaternion algebra over Q which is ramified at a prime N will be a basis of the space of holomorphic modular forms of weight 2 and level N. However, later Eichler noticed that Hecke's conjecture does not hold in general. It is natural to ask for the dimension of the subspace of the modular forms spanned by the theta series. This question is called Hecke's basis problem. Boecherer and Schulze-Pillot have given an answer using the theory of theta liftings. In this paper we will give another proof of their results using arithmetic and geometric properties of the modular curve.
