Multiplicity One Theorem for General Spin Groups: The Archimedean Case

Let $\GSpin(V)$ (resp. $\GPin(V)$) be a general spin group (resp. a general Pin group) associated with a nondegenerate quadratic space $V$ of dimension $n$ over an Archimedean local field $F$. For a nondegenerate quadratic space $W$ of dimension $n-1$ over $F$, we also consider $\GSpin(W)$ and $\GPin(W)$. We prove the multiplicity-at-most-one theorem in the Archimedean case for a pair of groups ($\GSpin(V), \GSpin(W)$) and also for a pair of groups ($\GPin(V), \GPin(W)$); namely, we prove that the restriction to $\GSpin(W)$ (resp. $\GPin(W)$) of an irreducible Casselman-Wallach representation of $\GSpin(V)$ (resp. $\GPin(V)$) is multiplicity free.

Beyond Endoscopy via Poisson Summation for GL(2,K)

In the early 2000's, R. Langlands proposed a strategy called Beyond Endoscopy to attack the principle of functoriality, which is one of the central questions of present day mathematics. A first step was achieved by A. Altug who worked with the group $GL(2,\mathbb{Q})$ in a series of three papers. We generalize the first part of this result to a class of totally real number fields. In particular, we cancel the contribution of the trivial and special representations to the trace formula using an additive Poisson summation on the regular elliptic terms.

Nondegeneracy and Sato-Tate Distributions of Two Families of Jacobian Varieties

We consider the curves $y^2=x^{2^m} -1$ and $y^2=x^{2^{d}+1}-x$ over the rationals. These curves are related via their associated Jacobian varieties in that the Jacobians of the latter appear as factors of the Jacobians of the former. One of the principal aims of this paper is to fully describe their Sato-Tate groups and distributions by determining generators of the component groups. In order to do this, we first prove the nondegeneracy of the two families of Jacobian varieties via their Hodge groups. We then use results relating Sato-Tate groups and twisted Lefschetz groups of nondegenerate abelian varieties to determine the generators of the associated Sato-Tate groups. The results of this paper add new examples to the literature of families of nondegenerate Jacobian varieties and of noncyclic component groups of Sato-Tate groups. Furthermore, we compute moment statistics associated to the Sato-Tate groups which can be used to verify the equidistribution statement of the generalized Sato-Tate conjecture by comparing them to moment statistics obtained for the traces in the normalized $L$-polynomials of the curves.

Contragredients and a multiplicity one theorem for general Spin groups

Each orthogonal group $\OO(n)$ has a nontrivial $\GL(1)$-extension, which we call $\GPin(n)$. The identity component of $\GPin(n)$ is the more familiar $\GSpin(n)$, the general Spin group. We prove that the restriction to $\GPin(n-1)$ of an irreducible admissible representation of $\GPin(n)$ over a nonarchimedean local field of characteristic zero is multiplicity free and also prove the analogous theorem for $\GSpin(n)$. Our proof uses the method of Aizenbud, Gourevitch, Rallis and Schiffman, who proved the analogous theorem for $\OO(n)$, and Waldspurger, who proved that for $\SO(n)$. We also give an explicit description of the contragredient of an irreducible admissible representation of $\GPin(n)$ and $\GSpin(n)$, which is needed to apply their method to our situations.

Sato-Tate Distributions of $y^2=x^p-1$ and $y^2=x^{2p}-1$

We determine the Sato-Tate groups and prove the generalized Sato-Tate conjecture for the Jacobians of curves of the form $$ y^2=x^p-1 \text{ and } y^2=x^{2p}-1,$$ where $p$ is an odd prime. Our results rely on the fact the Jacobians of these curves are nondegenerate, a fact that we prove in the paper. Furthermore, we compute moment statistics associated to the Sato-Tate groups. These moment statistics can be used to verify the equidistribution statement of the generalized Sato-Tate conjecture by comparing them to moment statistics obtained for the traces in the normalized $L$-polynomials of the curves.

On the global Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture for general spin groups

We formulate a global Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture for general spin groups. That is, we formulate a conjecture on a relation between periods of certain automorphic forms on $GSpin_{n+1} \times GSpin_n$ along the diagonal subgroup $GSpin_n$ and some $L$-values. To support the conjecture, we show that the conjecture holds for $n=2$ and $3$ and for certain cases for $n=4$.

Towards the Sato-Tate Groups of Trinomial Hyperelliptic Curves

We consider the identity component of the Sato-Tate group of the Jacobian of curves of the form $$C_1\colon y^2=x^{2g+2}+c, C_2\colon y^2=x^{2g+1}+cx, C_3\colon y^2=x^{2g+1} +c,$$ where $g$ is the genus of the curve and $c\in\mathbb Q^*$ is constant. We approach this problem in three ways. First we use a theorem of Kani-Rosen to determine the splitting of Jacobians for $C_1$ curves of genus 4 and 5 and prove what the identity component of the Sato-Tate group is in each case. We then determine the splitting of Jacobians of higher genus $C_1$ curves by finding maps to lower genus curves and then computing pullbacks of differential 1-forms. In using this method, we are able to relate the Jacobians of curves of the form $C_1$, $C_2$, and $C_3$. Finally, we develop a new method for computing the identity component of the Sato-Tate groups of the Jacobians of the three families of curves. We use this method to compute many explicit examples, and find surprising patterns in the shapes of the identity components for these families of curves.
