Upcoming Talks:
Title: Reciprocity, non-vanishing, and subconvexity of central L-values
Speaker: Subhajit Jana (MPIM)
Time: 13:30-15:00 Beijing time, May 26, 2022
Zoom ID: 844 745 8596 Passcode: 568789
Abstract: A reciprocity formula usually relates certain moments of two different families of L-functions which apparently have no connections between them. The first such formula was due to Motohashi who related a fourth moment of Riemann zeta values on the central line with a cubic moment of certain automorphic central L-values for GL(2). In this talk, we describe some instances of reciprocity formulas both in low and high rank groups and give certain applications to subconvexity and non-vanishing of central L-values. These are joint works with Nunes and Blomer--Nelson.

Title:Duals of linearized Reed-Solomon codes
Speaker: Xavier Caruso (CNRS, Université de Bordeaux)
Organiser:Emmanuel Lecouturier (BIMSA)
Time: 16:00-17:00 Friday, 2022/1/7
Zoom: 638 227 8222 PW: BIMSA
Abstract:
Errors correcting codes are a basic primitive which provides robust tools against noise in transmission. On the theoretical perspective, they are usually founded on beautiful properties of some mathematical objects. For example, one of the oldest construction of codes is due to Reed and Solomon and takes advantage of the fact the number of roots of a polynomial cannot exceed its degree. During the last decades, new problems in coding theory have emerged (e.g. secure network transmission or distributive storage) and new families of codes have been proposed. In this perspective, Martínez-Peñas has recently introduced a linearized version of Reed-Solomon codes which, roughly speaking, is obtained by replacing classical polynomials by a noncommutative version of them called Ore polynomials.
In this talk, I will revisit Martínez-Peñas' construction and give a new description of the duals of linearized Reed-Solomon codes. This will lead us to explore the fascinating world of noncommutative polynomials and notably develop a theory of residues for rational differential forms in this context.
Title:Explicit realization of elements of the Tate-Shafarevich group constructed from Kolyvagin classes
Speaker: Lazar Radicevic (Maxplanck Institute, Bonn)
Organiser:Emmanuel Lecouturier (BIMSA)
Time: 16:00-17:00 Wednesday, 2021/12/15
Venue: BIMSA 1118
Zoom: 3885289728 PW: BIMSA
Abstract:
We consider the Kolyvagin cohomology classes associated to an elliptic curve E defined over ℚ from a computational point of view. We explain how to go from a model of a class as an element of (E(L)/pE(L))^Gal(L/ℚ), where p is prime and L is a dihedral extension of ℚ of degree 2p, to a geometric model as a genus one curve embedded in ℙ^(p−1). We adapt the existing methods to compute Heegner points to our situation, and explicitly compute them as elements of E(L). Finally, we compute explicit equations for several genus one curves that represent non-trivial elements of the p-torsion part of the Tate-Shafarevich group of E, for p≤11, and hence are counterexamples to the Hasse principle.
Title：A modular construction of unramified p-extensions of $\Q(N^{1/p})$
Speaker：Jacky Lang (Philadelfia)
Organizer: Emmanuel Lecouturier (BIMSA)
Time：9:00-10:00, Nov. 19, 2021
Venue：BIMSA 1118
Zoom ID: 849 963 1368 Password: YMSC
Abstract:
In Mazur's seminal work on the Eisenstein ideal, he showed that when N and p > 3 are primes, there is a weight 2 cusp form of level N congruent to the unique weight 2 Eisenstein series of level N if and only N = 1 mod p. Calegari--Emerton, Merel, Lecouturier, and Wake--Wang-Erickson have work that relates these cuspidal-Eisenstein congruences to the p-part of the class group of $\Q(N^{1/p})$. Calegari observed that when N = -1 mod p, one can use Galois cohomology and some ideas of Wake--Wang-Erickson to show that p divides the class group of $\Q(N^{1/p})$. He asked whether there is a way to directly construct the relevant degree p everywhere unramified extension of $\Q(N^{1/p})$ in this case. After discussing some of this background, I will report of work with Preston Wake in which we give a positive answer to this question using cuspidal-Eisenstein congruences at prime-square level.
Title：The unbounded denominators conjecture
Speaker：Yunqing Tang (Princeton university)
Organizer: Emmanuel Lecouturier (BIMSA)
Time：9:30-10:30, Oct. 29, 2021
Venue：BIMSA 1118
Zoom ID: 849 963 1368 Password: YMSC
Abstract:
The unbounded denominators conjecture, first raised by Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer, asserts that a modular form for a finite index subgroup of SL_2(Z) whose Fourier coefficients have bounded denominators must be a modular form for some congruence subgroup. In this talk, we will give a sketch of the proof of this conjecture based on a new arithmetic algebraization theorem. (Joint work with Frank Calegari and Vesselin Dimitrov.)
Title：Eisenstein congruences and Euler systems
Speaker：Oscar Rivero Salgado (University of Warwick)
Organizer: Emmanuel Lecouturier (BIMSA)
Time：16:00-17:00, Oct. 22, 2021
Venue：BIMSA 1118
Zoom ID: 388 528 9728 Password: BIMSA
Abstract:
Let f be a cuspidal eigenform of weight two, and let p be a prime at which f is congruent to an Eisenstein series. Beilinson constructed a class arising from the cup-product of two Siegel units and proved a relationship with the first derivative of the L-series of f at the near central point s=0. I will motivate the study of congruences between modular forms at the level of cohomology classes, and will report on a joint work with Victor Rotger where we prove two congruence formulas relating the Beilinson class with the arithmetic of circular units. The proofs make use of Galois properties satisfied by various integral lattices and exploits Perrin-Riou's, Coleman's and Kato's work on the Euler systems of circular units and Beilinson-Kato elements and, most crucially, the work of Fukaya-Kato around Sharifi’s conjectures.
Title: Modular regulator with Rogers-Zudilin method
Speaker: Weijia Wang (ENS Lyon)
Time: 2020-7-14, 16:00 – 17:00
Abstract: Let Y (N) be the modular curve of level N and E(N) be the universal elliptic curve over Y (N). Beilinson (1986) defined the Eisenstein symbol in the motivic cohomology of Ek(N) and the work of Deninger–Scholl (1989) shows the Petersson inner product of its regulator gives us special L-values. In this talk I will present how to relate the modular regulator with L-value of quasi-modular forms by using Lanphier’s formula and Rogers–Zudilin method.

Title: Projective bundle theorem in MW-motives
Speaker: Nanjun Yang (YMSC, Tsinghua)
Time: 2020-7-2, 10:00 – 11:00
Abstract: We present a version of projective bundle theorem in MW-motives (resp. Chow-Witt rings), which says that $\widetilde{CH}^*(\mathbb{P}(E))$ is determined by $\widetilde{CH}^*(X)$ and $\widetilde{CH}^*(X\times\mathbb{P}^2)$ for smooth quasi-projective schemes $X$ and vector bundles $E$ over $X$ with odd rank. If the rank of $E$ is even, the theorem is still true under a new kind of orientability, which we call it by projective orientability. As an application, we compute the MW-motives of blow-ups over smooth centers. (arXiv 2006.11774)

Title: Elliptic cocycle for GLN(Z) and Hecke operators
Speaker: Hao Zhang (Sorbonne Université)
Time: 2020-7-2, 16:00 – 17:00
Abstract: A classical result of Eichler, Shimura and Manin asserts that the map that assigns to a cusp form f its period polynomial r_f is a Hecke equivariant map. We propose a generalization of this result to a setting where r_f is replaced by a family of rational function of N variables equipped with the action of GLN(Z). For this purpose, we develop a theory of Hecke operators for the elliptic cocycle recently introduced by Charollois. In particular, when f is an eigenform, the corresponding rational function is also an eigenvector respect to Hecke operator for GLN. Finally, we give some examples for Eisenstein series and the Ramanujan Delta function.
