Fourier Coefficients of Modular Forms of Half-Integral Weight.
For an eigenfunction of the Laplacian on a hyperbolic Riemann surface, the coefficients of the Fourier expansion are described as intertwining functionals. All intertwiners are classified. A refined growth estimate for the coefficients is given and a summation formula is proved.
Taking advantage of methods originating with quantization theory, we try to get some better hold - if not an actual construction - of Maass (non-holomorphic) cusp-forms. We work backwards, from the rather simple results to the mostly devious road used to prove them.
This paper contains an application of Langlands’ functoriality principle to the following classical problem: which finite groups, in particular which simple groups appear as Galois groups over ? Let be a prime and a positive integer. We show that that the finite simple groups of Lie type if and appear as Galois groups over , for some divisible by . In particular, for each of the two Lie types and fixed we construct infinitely many Galois groups but we do not have a precise control...
To an odd irreducible 2-dimensional complex linear representation of the absolute Galois group of the field Q of rational numbers, a modular form of weight 1 is associated (modulo Artin's conjecture on the L-series of the representation in the icosahedral case). In addition, linear liftings of 2-dimensional projective Galois representations are related to solutions of certain Galois embedding problems. In this paper we present some recent results on the existence of liftings of projective representations...
