Distributional properties of powers of matrices
We apply the larger sieve to bound the number of matrices not having large order when reduced modulo the primes in an interval. Our motivation is the relation with linear recursive congruential generators. Basically our results establish that the probability of finding a matrix with large order modulo many primes drops drastically when a certain threshold involving the number of primes and the order is exceeded. We also study, for a given prime and a matrix, the existence of nearby non-similar...
Exotic approximate identities and Maass forms
We obtain some approximate identities whose accuracy depends on the bottom of the discrete spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator in the automorphic setting and on the symmetries of the corresponding Maass wave forms. From the geometric point of view, the underlying Riemann surfaces are classical modular curves and Shimura curves.
