The Fontaine-Mazur conjecture (proved by Kisin and Emerton) says that (under certain technical hypotheses) a Galois representation ρ:GalQ→GL2(Q⎯⎯⎯⎯p)

 is modular if it is unramified outside finitely many places and de Rham at p. I will talk about...

Symmetric power functoriality is one of the basic cases of Langlands' functoriality conjectures and is the route to the proof of the Sato-Tate conjecture (concerning the distribution of the modulo p point counts of an elliptic curve over Q, as the...

The quantum unique ergodicity conjecture of Rudnick and Sarnak concerns the mass equidistribution in the large eigenvalue limit of Laplacian eigenfunctions on negatively curved manifolds. This conjecture has been resolved by Lindenstrauss when this...

In a recent machine learning based study, He, Lee, Oliver, and Pozdnyakov observed a striking oscillating pattern in the average value of the P-th Frobenius trace of elliptic curves of prescribed rank and conductor in an interval range. Sutherland...

We prove this bound by first using the unitary Ichino-Ikeda formula of N. Harris to relate the central L-value to an automorphic period integral.  There is a `trivial' bound for this integral, which turns out to correspond to the convexity bound for...

I discuss the spectral and arithmetic side of the relative trace formula of Kuznetsov type for congruence subgroups of SL(n, Z) with applications to automorphic density theorems. A particular focus is on properties of general Kloosterman sums as...

I will explain a new construction of an Euler system for the symmetric square of an eigenform and its connection with L-values. The construction makes use of some simple Eisenstein cohomology classes for Sp(4) or, equivalently, SO(3,2). This is an...

The successive minima of an order in a degree n number field are n real numbers encoding information about the Euclidean structure of the order. How many orders in degree n number fields are there with almost prescribed successive minima, fixed...

The behavior of quadratic twists of modular L-functions is at the critical point is related both to coefficients of half integer weight modular forms and data on elliptic curves.  Here we describe a proof of an asymptotic for the second moment of...

Given a set of integers, we wish to know how many primes there are in the set.  Modern tools allow us to obtain an asymptotic for the number of primes, or at least a lower bound of the expected order, assuming certain strength Type-I information...
