Spectral theta series of operators with periodic bicharacteristic flow

Jens Marklof (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

The theta series ϑ ( z ) = exp ( 2 π i n 2 z ) is a classical example of a modular form. In this article we argue that the trace ϑ P ( z ) = Tr exp ( 2 π i P 2 z ) , where P is a self-adjoint elliptic pseudo-differential operator of order 1 with periodic bicharacteristic flow, may be viewed as a natural generalization. In particular, we establish approximate functional relations under the action of the modular group. This allows a detailed analysis of the asymptotics of ϑ P ( z ) near the real axis, and the proof of logarithm laws and limit theorems for its value...

Strong spectral gaps for compact quotients of products of PSL ( 2 , ) )

Dubi Kelmer, Peter Sarnak (2009)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

The existence of a strong spectral gap for quotients Γ G of noncompact connected semisimple Lie groups is crucial in many applications. For congruence lattices there are uniform and very good bounds for the spectral gap coming from the known bounds towards the Ramanujan–Selberg conjectures. If G has no compact factors then for general lattices a spectral gap can still be established, but there is no uniformity and no effective bounds are known. This note is concerned with the spectral gap for an irreducible...

Sturm type theorem for Siegel modular forms of genus 2 modulo p

Dohoon Choi, YoungJu Choie, Toshiyuki Kikuta (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

Suppose that f is an elliptic modular form with integral coefficients. Sturm obtained bounds for a nonnegative integer n such that every Fourier coefficient of f vanishes modulo a prime p if the first n Fourier coefficients of f are zero modulo p. In the present note, we study analogues of Sturm's bounds for Siegel modular forms of genus 2. As an application, we study congruences involving an analogue of Atkin's U(p)-operator for the Fourier coefficients of Siegel modular forms of genus 2.
