We give a characterisation of the field into which quotients of values of L-functions associated to a cusp form belong. The construction involves shifted convolution series of divisor sums and to establish it we combine parts of F. Browns technique to study multiple modular values with the properties of a double Eisentein series previously studied by the author and C. OSullivan.
Let $X_0^{star}(k,n,s)$ denote the sum of all multiple zeta-star values of weight $k$, depth $n$ and height $s$. Kaneko and Ohno conjecture that for any positive integers $m,n,s$ with $m,ngeqslant s$, the difference $(-1)^mX_0^{star}(m+n+1,n+1,s)-(-1)^nX_0^{star}(m+n+1,m+1,s)$ can be expressed as a polynomial of zeta values with rational coefficients. We give a proof of this conjecture in this paper.
We investigate the group of universal norms attached to the cyclotomic Z {ell}-tower of a totally real number field in connection with Grenbergs conjecture on Iwasawa invariants of such a field.
We prove the Archimedean period relations for Rankin-Selberg convolutions for $mathrm{GL}(n)times mathrm{GL}(n-1)$. This implies the period relations for critical values of the Rankin-Selberg L-functions for $mathrm{GL}(n)times mathrm{GL}(n-1)$.
We introduce a shifted convolution sum that is parametrized by the squarefree natural number $t$. The asymptotic growth of this series depends explicitly on whether or not $t$ is a emph{congruent number}, an integer that is the area of a rational right triangle. This series presents a new avenue of inquiry for The Congruent Number Problem.
