Let π be a cuspidal automorphic representation of PGL_2(AQ) of arithmetic conductor C and archimedean parameter T, and let ϕ be an L2-normalized automorphic form in the space of π. The sup-norm problem asks for bounds on ∥ϕ∥_∞ in terms of C and T. The quantum unique ergodicity (QUE) problem concerns the limiting behavior of the L2-mass |ϕ|^2(g)dg of ϕ. Previous work on these problems in the conductor-aspect has focused on the case that ϕ is a newform. In this work, we study these problems for a class of automorphic forms that are not newforms. Precisely, we assume that for each prime divisor p of C, the local component π_p is supercuspidal (and satisfies some additional technical hypotheses), and consider automorphic forms ϕ for which the local components ϕ_p∈π_p are "minimal" vectors. Such vectors may be understood as non-archimedean analogues of lowest weight vectors in holomorphic discrete series representations of PGL_2(R). For automorphic forms as above, we prove a sup-norm bound that is sharper than what is known in the newform case. In particular, if π_∞ is a holomorphic discrete series of lowest weight k, we obtain the optimal bound C^{1/8−ϵ} k^{1/4−ϵ} ≪_ϵ |ϕ|_∞ ≪_ϵ C^{1/8+ϵ} k^{1/4+ϵ}. We prove also that these forms give analytic test vectors for the QUE period, thereby demonstrating the equivalence between the strong QUE and the subconvexity problems for this class of vectors. This finding contrasts the known failure of this equivalence [31] for newforms of powerful level.

Let $p\equiv 4,7\ \mathrm {mod}\ 9$ be a rational prime number such that $3\ \mathrm {mod}\ p$ is not a cube. In this paper, we prove the $3$-part of $|\textrm {III}(E_p)|\cdot |\textrm {III}(E_{3p^2})|$ is as predicted by the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, where $E_p: x^3+y^3=p$ and $E_{3p^2}: x^3+y^3=3p^2$ are the elliptic curves related to the Sylvester conjecture and cube sum problems.

We investigate meromorphic quasi-modular forms and their L-functions. We study the space of meromorphic quasi-modular forms and Rankin–Cohen brackets of meromorphic modular forms. Then we define their L-functions by using multiple techniques of regularized integral. Explicit formulas for the L-functions are given.

Let K=Q(√(-q)), where q is any prime number congruent to 7 modulo 8, and let O be the ring of integers of K. The prime 2 splits in K, say 2O=pp∗, and there is a unique Z_2-extension K_∞ of K which is unramified outside p. Let H be the Hilbert class field of K, and write H_∞=HK_∞. Let M(H_∞) be the maximal abelian 2-extension of H_∞ which is unramified outside the primes above p, and put X(H_∞)=Gal(M(H_∞)/H_∞). We prove that X(H_∞) is always a finitely generated Z_2-module, by an elliptic analogue of Sinnott’s cyclotomic argument. We then use this result to prove for the first time the weak p-adic Leopoldt conjecture for the compositum J_∞ of K_∞ with arbitrary quadratic extensions J of H. We also prove some new cases of the finite generation of the Mordell–Weil group E(J_∞) modulo torsion of certain elliptic curves E with complex multiplication by O.

In this paper we give quantitative local test vectors for Waldspurger's period integral (i.e., a toric period on GL_2) in new cases with joint ramifications. The construction involves minimal vectors, rather than newforms and their variants. This paper gives a uniform treatment for the matrix algebra and division algebra cases under mild assumptions, and establishes an explicit relation between the size of the local integral and the finite conductor C(π×π_{χ^{−1}}). As an application, we combine the test vector results with the relative trace formula, and prove a hybrid type subconvexity bound which can be as strong as the Weyl bound in proper range.

In his monograph Arthur (The endoscopic classification of representations: orthogonal and symplectic groups, Colloquium Publications, American Mathematical Society, Providence, 2013) characterizes the L-packets of quasisplit symplectic groups and orthogonal groups. By extending his work, we characterize the L-packets for the corresponding similitude groups with desired properties. In particular, we show these packets satisfy the conjectural endoscopic character identities.

Let R be a non-discrete rank one valuation ring of characteristic p and let E be any discrete valuation ring, we prove the ring of E-Witt vectors over R has uncountable Krull dimension without assuming the axiom of existence of prime ideals for general commutative unitary rings.

In the present paper, we prove the 2-part of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for an explicit infinite family of rank 0 quadratic twists of the modular elliptic curve χ_0(14), using an explicit form of the Waldspurger formula. We also give an explicit infinite family of rank 1 quadratic twists of χ_0(14) whose Tate–Shafarevich group is of odd cardinality.

We study elliptic curves of the form x^3+y^3=2^p and x^3+y^3=2p^2 where p is any odd prime satisfying p ≡ 2 mod 9 or p ≡ 5 mod 9. We first show that the 3-part of the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture holds for these curves. Then we relate their 2-Selmer group to the 2-rank of the ideal class group of Q(\sqrt[3]{p}) to obtain some examples of elliptic curves with rank one and non-trivial 2-part of the Tate-Shafarevich group.
