Let $K$ be a local function field of characteristic $l$, $mathbb{F}$ be a finite field over $mathbb{F}_p$ where $l e p$, and $overline{rho}: G_K rightarrow text{GL}_n (mathbb{F})$ be a continuous representation. We apply the Taylor-Wiles-Kisin method over certain global function fields to construct a mod $p$ cycle map $overline{text{cyc}}$, from mod $p$ representations of $text{GL}_n (mathcal{O}_K)$ to the mod $p$ fibers of the framed universal deformation ring $R_{overline{rho}}^square$. This allows us to obtain a function field analog of the Breuil--Mezard conjecture. Then we use the technique of close fields to show that our result is compatible with the Breuil-Mezard conjecture for local number fields in the case of $l e p$, obtained by Shotton.
For a global function field K of positive characteristic p, we show that Artin conjecture for L-functions of geometric p-adic Galois representations of K is true in a non-trivial p-adic disk but is false in the full p-adic plane. In particular, we prove the non-rationality of the geometric unit root L-functions.
We propose a function-field analog of Pisots $d$-th root conjecture on linear recurrences, and prove it under some non-triviality assumption. Besides a recent result of Pasten-Wang on B{u}chis $d$-th power problem, our main tool, which is also developed in this paper, is a function-field analog of an GCD estimate in a recent work of Levin and Levin-Wang. As an easy corollary of such GCD estimate, we also obtain an asymptotic result.
We establish the local Langlands conjecture for small rank general spin groups $GSpin_4$ and $GSpin_6$ as well as their inner forms. We construct appropriate $L$-packets and prove that these $L$-packets satisfy the properties expected of them to the extent that the corresponding local factors are available. We are also able to determine the exact sizes of the $L$-packets in many cases.
Sarnaks Density Conjecture is an explicit bound on the multiplicities of non-tempered representations in a sequence of cocompact congruence arithmetic lattices in a semisimple Lie group, which is motivated by the work of Sarnak and Xue. The goal of this work is to discuss similar hypotheses, their interrelation and applications. We mainly focus on two properties - the Spectral Spherical Density Hypothesis and the Geometric Weak Injective Radius Property. Our results are strongest in the p-adic case, where we show that the two properties are equivalent, and both imply Sarnaks General Density Hypothesis. One possible application is that either the limit multiplicity property or the weak injective radius property imply Sarnaks Optimal Lifting Property. Conjecturally, all those properties should hold in great generality. We hope that this work will motivate their proofs in new cases.
We consider natural variants of Lehmers unresolved conjecture that Ramanujans tau-function never vanishes. Namely, for $n>1$ we prove that $$tau(n) ot in {pm 1, pm 3, pm 5, pm 7, pm 691}.$$ This result is an example of general theorems for newforms with trivial mod 2 residual Galois representation, which will appear in forthcoming work of the authors with Wei-Lun Tsai. Ramanujans well-known congruences for $tau(n)$ allow for the simplified proof in these special cases. We make use of the theory of Lucas sequences, the Chabauty-Coleman method for hyperelliptic curves, and facts about certain Thue equations.
