Intersections of higher weight cycles and modular forms
We generalize Kronecker’s solution of Pell’s equation to CM fields whose Galois group over is an elementary abelian 2-group. This is an identity which relates CM values of a certain Hilbert modular function to products of logarithms of fundamental units. When is imaginary quadratic, these CM values are algebraic numbers related to elliptic units in the Hilbert class field of . Assuming Schanuel’s conjecture, we show that when has degree greater than 2 over these CM values are transcendental....
This paper is essentially the text of the author’s lecture at the 2001 Journées Arithmétiques. It addresses the problem of identifying in Galois-theoretic terms those two-dimensional, -adic Galois representations associated to holomorphic Hilbert modular newforms.
Special values of certain functions of the type are studied where is a motive over a totally real field with coefficients in another field , andis an Euler product running through maximal ideals of the maximal order of andbeing a polynomial with coefficients in . Using the Newton and the Hodge polygons of one formulate a conjectural criterium for the existence of a -adic analytic continuation of the special values. This conjecture is verified in a number of cases related to...
La conjecture de Birch et Swinnerton-Dyer donne des estimations fines sur le rang de certaines variétés abéliennes définies sur . Dans le cas des jacobiennes des courbes modulaires, ce problème est équivalent à l’estimation de l’ordre d’annulation en des fonctions des formes modulaires, et a été traité inconditionnellement par Kowalski, Michel et VanderKam. L’objet de ce travail est d’étendre cette approche dans le cas d’un corps totalement réel arbitraire, ce qui nécessite l’utilisation de...
H. P. F. Swinnerton-Dyer determined the structure of the ring of modular forms modulo p in the elliptic modular case. In this paper, the structure of the ring of Hilbert modular forms modulo p is studied. In the case where the discriminant of corresponding quadratic field is 8 (or 5), the explicit structure is determined.
