Let tau(.) be the Ramanujan tau-function, and let k be a positive integer such that tau(n) is not 0 for n=1,...,[k/2]. (This is known to be true for k < 10^{23}, and, conjecturally, for all k.) Further, let s be a permutation of the set {1,...,k}. Then there exist infinitely many positive integers m such that |tau(m+s(1))|<tau(m+s(2))|<...<|tau(m+s(k))|. We also obtain a similar result for Fourier-coefficients of general newforms.
Let $1<g_1<ldots<g_{varphi(p-1)}<p-1$ be the ordered primitive roots modulo~$p$. We study the pseudorandomness of the binary sequence $(s_n)$ defined by $s_nequiv g_{n+1}+g_{n+2}bmod 2$, $n=0,1,ldots$. In particular, we study the balance, linear complexity and $2$-adic complexity of $(s_n)$. We show that for a typical $p$ the sequence $(s_n)$ is quite unbalanced. However, there are still infinitely many $p$ such that $(s_n)$ is very balanced. We also prove similar results for the distribution of longer patterns. Moreover, we give general lower bounds on the linear complexity and $2$-adic complexity of~$(s_n)$ and state sufficient conditions for attaining their maximums. Hence, for carefully chosen $p$, these sequences are attractive candidates for cryptographic applications.
Let $q:=e^{2 pi iz}$, where $z in mathbb{H}$. For an even integer $k$, let $f(z):=q^hprod_{m=1}^{infty}(1-q^m)^{c(m)}$ be a meromorphic modular form of weight $k$ on $Gamma_0(N)$. For a positive integer $m$, let $T_m$ be the $m$th Hecke operator and $D$ be a divisor of a modular curve with level $N$. Both subjects, the exponents $c(m)$ of a modular form and the distribution of the points in the support of $T_m. D$, have been widely investigated. When the level $N$ is one, Bruinier, Kohnen, and Ono obtained, in terms of the values of $j$-invariant function, identities between the exponents $c(m)$ of a modular form and the points in the support of $T_m.D$. In this paper, we extend this result to general $Gamma_0(N)$ in terms of values of harmonic weak Maass forms of weight $0$. By the distribution of Hecke points, this applies to obtain an asymptotic behaviour of convolutions of sums of divisors of an integer and sums of exponents of a modular form.
We explore an algorithm which systematically finds all discrete eigenvalues of an analytic eigenvalue problem. The algorithm is more simple and elementary as could be expected before. It consists of Hejhals identity, linearisation, and Turing bounds. Using the algorithm, we compute more than one hundredsixty thousand consecutive eigenvalues of the Laplacian on the modular surface, and investigate the asymptotic and statistic properties of the fluctuations in the Weyl remainder. We summarize the findings in two conjectures. One is on the maximum size of the Weyl remainder, and the other is on the distribution of a suitably scaled version of the Weyl remainder.
Since the study by Jacobi and Hecke, Hecke-type series have received a lot of attention. Unlike such series associated with indefinite quadratic forms, identities on Hecke-type series associated with definite quadratic forms are quite rare in the literature. Motivated by the works of Liu, we first establish many parameterized identities with two parameters by employing different $q$-transformation formulas and then deduce various Hecke-type identities associated with definite quadratic forms by specializing the choice of these two parameters. As applications, we utilize some of these Hecke-type identities to establish families of inequalities for several partition functions. Our proofs heavily rely on some formulas from the work of Zhi-Guo Liu.
In this paper we study, both analytically and numerically, questions involving the distribution of eigenvalues of Maass forms on the moonshine groups $Gamma_0(N)^+$, where $N>1$ is a square-free integer. After we prove that $Gamma_0(N)^+$ has one cusp, we compute the constant term of the associated non-holomorphic Eisenstein series. We then derive an average Weyls law for the distribution of eigenvalues of Maass forms, from which we prove the classical Weyls law as a special case. The groups corresponding to $N=5$ and $N=6$ have the same signature; however, our analysis shows that, asymptotically, there are infinitely more cusp forms for $Gamma_0(5)^+$ than for $Gamma_0(6)^+$. We view this result as being consistent with the Phillips-Sarnak philosophy since we have shown, unconditionally, the existence of two groups which have different Weyls laws. In addition, we employ Hejhals algorithm, together with recently developed refinements from [31], and numerically determine the first $3557$ of $Gamma_0(5)^+$ and the first $12474$ eigenvalues of $Gamma_0(6)^+$. With this information, we empirically verify some conjectured distributional properties of the eigenvalues.
