On the limiting distribution of f(p + 1) for non-negative additive functions
Let be a prime. Let such that , let be characters of conductor not divided by and let be the Teichmüller character. For all between and , for all between and , setLet and let be a prime of the valuation ring of . For all let be the Iwasawa series associated to and its reduction modulo . Finally let be an algebraic closure of . Our main result is that if the characters are all distinct modulo , then and the series are linearly independent over a certain...
Let be a primitive cusp form of weight at least 2, and let be the -adic Galois representation attached to . If is -ordinary, then it is known that the restriction of to a decomposition group at is “upper triangular”. If in addition has CM, then this representation is even “diagonal”. In this paper we provide evidence for the converse. More precisely, we show that the local Galois representation is not diagonal, for all except possibly finitely many of the arithmetic members of a non-CM...
Suppose runners having nonzero distinct constant speeds run laps on a unit-length circular track. The Lonely Runner Conjecture states that there is a time at which a given runner is at distance at least from all the others. The conjecture has been already settled up to seven () runners while it is open for eight or more runners. In this paper the conjecture has been verified for four or more runners having some particular speeds using elementary tools.
