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.

In this paper we prove the \pm-main conjecture formulated by Kobayashi for elliptic curves with supersingular reduction at p such that a_p = 0. We also prove as a corollary the p-part of the BSD formula at supersingular primes when the analytic rank is 0.

We construct the Frobenius structure on a rigid connection Be_{\hat G} on G_m for a split reductive group \hat G introduced by Frenkel-Gross. These data form a \hat G-valued overconvergent F-isocrystal Be^†_{\hat G} on G_{m,F_p}, which is the p-adic companion of the Kloosterman \hat G-local system Kl_{\hat G} constructed by Heinloth-Ngô-Yun. By studying the structure of the underlying differential equation, we calculate the monodromy group of Be^†_{\hat G} when \hat G is almost simple (which recovers the calculation of monodromy group of Kl_{\hat G} due to Katz and Heinloth–Ngô–Yun), and prove a conjecture of Heinloth-Ngô-Yun on the functoriality between different Kloosterman \hat G-local systems. We show that the Frobenius Newton polygons of Kl_{\hat G} are generically ordinary for every \hat G and are everywhere ordinary on |G_{m,F_p}| when \hat G is classical or G_2.

We present an integral representation for the tensor product L-function of a pair of automorphic cuspidal representations, one of a classical group, the other of a general linear group. Our construction is uniform over all classical groups, and is applicable to all cuspidal representations; it does not require genericity. The main new ideas of the construction are the use of generalized Speh representations as inducing data for the Eisenstein series and the introduction of a new (global and local) model, which generalizes the Whittaker model. Here we consider linear groups, but our construction also extends to arbitrary degree metaplectic coverings; this will be the topic of an upcoming work.
