Cyclic codes are an important class of linear codes, whose weight distribution have been extensively studied. So far, most of previous results obtained were for cyclic codes with no more than three nonzeros. Recently, the authors of [37]constructed a class of cyclic codes with arbitrary number of nonzeros, and computed the weight distribution for several cases. In this paper, we determine the weight distribution for a new family of such codes. This is achieved by introducing certain new methods, such as the theory of Jacobi sums over finite fields and subtle treatment of some complicated combinatorial identities.

In this paper we derived a nice general formula for the local integrals of triple product formula whenever one of the representations has sufficiently higher level than the other two. As an application we generalized Venkatesh and Woodbury’s work on the subconvexity bound of triple product L-function in level aspect, allowing joint ramifications, higher ramifications, general unitary central characters and general special values of local epsilon factors.

We define the Heegner--Drinfeld cycle on the moduli stack of Drinfeld Shtukas of rank two with r-modifications for an even integer r. We prove an identity between (1) The r-th central derivative of the quadratic base change L-function associated to an everywhere unramified cuspidal automorphic representation π of PGL2; (2) The self-intersection number of the π-isotypic component of the Heegner--Drinfeld cycle. This identity can be viewed as a function-field analog of the Waldspurger and Gross--Zagier formula for higher derivatives of L-functions.

We formulate and prove a log-algebraicity theorem for arbitrary rank Drinfeld modules dened over the polynomial ring Fq[\theta]. This generalizes results of Anderson for the rank one case. As an application we show that certain special values of Goss L-functions are linear forms in Drinfeld logarithms and are transcendental.

Let $k$ be a field and $k(x_0,\ldots,x_{p-1})$ be the rational function field of $p$ variables over $k$ where $p$ is a prime number. Suppose that $G=\langle\sigma\rangle \simeq C_p$ acts on $k(x_0,\ldots,x_{p-1})$ by $k$-automorphisms defined as $\sigma:x_0\mapsto x_1\mapsto\cdots\mapsto x_{p-1}\mapsto x_0$. Denote by $P$ the set of all prime numbers and define $P_0=\{p\in P:\bm{Q}(\zeta_{p-1})$ is of class number one$\}$ where $\zeta_n$ a primitive $n$-th root of unity in $\bm{C}$ for a positive integer $n$; $P_0$ is a finite set by \cite{MM}. Theorem. Let $k$ be an algebraic number field and $P_k=\{p\in P: p$ is ramified in $k\}$. Then $k(x_0,\ldots,x_{p-1})^G$ is not stably rational over $k$ for all $p\in P\backslash (P_0\cup P_k)$.

In this article, we define a “ recursive local” algorithm in order to construct two reccurent numerical sequences of positive prime numbers (𝑈2𝑛) and (𝑉2𝑛), ((𝑈2𝑛) function of (𝑉2𝑛)), such that for any integer n≥ 2, their sum is 2n. To build these , we use a third sequence of prime numbers (𝑊2𝑛) defined for any integer n≥ 3 by : 𝑊2𝑛 = Sup(p∈IP : p ≤ 2n-3), where IP is the infinite set of positive prime numbers. The Goldbach conjecture has been verified for all even integers 2n between 4 and 4.1018. . In the Table of Goldbach sequence terms given in paragraph § 10, we reach values of the order of 2n= 101000 . Thus, thanks to this algorithm of “ascent and descent”, we can validate the strong Euler-Goldbach conjecture.

The aim of the present paper is to suggest that statistical physics provides the correct language to understand the practical behavior of the LLL algorithm, most of which are left unexplained to this day. To this end, we propose sandpile models that imitate LLL with compelling accuracy, and prove for these models some of the most desired statements regarding LLL. We also formulate a few conjectures that formally capture our heuristics and would serve as milestones for further development of the theory.

We extend two results about the ordinary continued fraction expansion to best simultaneous Diophantine approximations of vectors or matrices. The first is Levy-Khintchin Theorem about the almost sure growth rate of the denominators of the convergents. The second is a Theorem of Bosma, Hendrik and Wiedijk about the almost sure limit distribution of the sequence of products q_n d(q_n θ,Z) where the qn's are the denominators of the convergents associated with the real number θ by the ordinary continued fraction algorithm. Beside these two main results, we show that when d≥2, for almost all vectors θ∈R^d, lim inf_{n→∞} q_{n+k} d(q_n θ,Z^d)=0 for all positive integers k, where (q_n)_{n∈N} is the sequence of best approximation denominators of θ.

This paper gives a new and direct construction of the multi-prime big de Rham–Witt complex, which is defined for every commutative and unital ring; the original construction by Madsen and myself relied on the adjoint functor theorem and accordingly was very indirect. The construction given here also corrects the 2-torsion which was not quite correct in the original version. The new construction is based on the theory of modules and derivations over a$λ$-ring which is developed first. The main result in this first part of the paper is that the universal derivation of a$λ$-ring is given by the universal derivation of the underlying ring together with an additional structure depending directly on the$λ$-ring structure in question. In the case of the ring of big Witt vectors, this additional structure gives rise to divided Frobenius operators on the module of Kähler differentials. It is the existence of these divided Frobenius operators that makes the new construction of the big de Rham–Witt complex possible. It is further shown that the big de Rham–Witt complex behaves well with respect to étale maps, and finally, the big de Rham–Witt complex of the ring of integers is explicitly evaluated.

By the relative trace formula approach of Jacquet–Rallis, we prove the global Gan– Gross–Prasad conjecture for unitary groups under some local restrictions for the automor- phic representations.

We improve upon the local bound in the depth aspect for sup-norms of newforms on D^×, where D is an indefinite quaternion division algebra over Q. Our sup-norm bound implies a depth-aspect subconvexity bound for L(1/2,f×θ_χ), where f is a (varying) newform on D^× of level p^n, and θ_χ is an (essentially fixed) automorphic form on GL_2 obtained as the theta lift of a Hecke character χ on a quadratic field. For the proof, we augment the amplification method with a novel filtration argument and a recent counting result proved by the second-named author to reduce to showing strong quantitative decay of matrix coefficients of local newvectors along compact subsets, which we establish via p-adic stationary phase analysis. Furthermore, we prove a general upper bound in the level aspect for sup-norms of automorphic forms belonging to any family whose associated matrix coefficients have such a decay property.

In this paper, based on an idea of Tian we establish a new sufficient condition for a positive integer n to be a congruent number in terms of the Legendre symbols for the prime factors of n. Our criterion generalizes previous results of Heegner, Birch–Stephens, Monsky, and Tian, and conjecturally provides a list of positive density of congruent numbers. Our method of proving the criterion is to give formulae for the analytic Tate–Shafarevich number $\mathcal{L}(n)$ in terms of the so-called genus periods and genus points. These formulae are derived from the Waldspurger formula and the generalized Gross–Zagier formula of Yuan–Zhang–Zhang.

In this paper we derive refined Petersson/Kuznetsov trace formulae with prescribed local ramifications. The spectral side of these formulae are much shorter than the standard versions. We use them to study the first moment and the subconvexity bound of certain Rankin-Selberg L-function in a hybrid setting.

The aim of this paper is to present a function field analogue of the classical Kronecker limit formula. We first introduce a “non-holomorphic” Eisenstein series on the Drinfeld half plane, and connect its “second term” with Gekeler’s discriminant function. One application is to express the Taguchi height of rank 2 Drinfeld modules with complex multiplication in terms of the logarithmic derivative of the corresponding zeta functions. Moreover, from the integral form of the Rankin-type L-function associated to two “Drinfeld-type” newforms, we then derive a formula for a non-central special derivative of the L-function in question. Adapting the classical approach, we also obtain a Kronecker-type solution for Pell’s equation over function fields.
