The Irreducibility of All but Finitely Many Bessel Polynomials

Irreducibility of Hecke Polynomials

In this note, we show that if the characteristic polynomial of some Hecke operator Tn acting on the space of weight k cusp forms for the group SL2(Z ) is irreducible, then the same holds for Tp, where p runs through a density one set of primes. This proves that if Maeda’s conjecture is true for some Tn, then it is true for Tp for almost all primes p.

On the irreducibility of Hecke polynomials

Let Tn,k(X) be the characteristic polynomial of the nth Hecke operator acting on the space of cusp forms of weight k for the full modular group. We record a simple criterion which can be used to check the irreducibility of the polynomials Tn,k(X). Using this criterion with some machine computation, we show that if there exists n ≥ 2 such that Tn,k(X) is irreducible and has the full symmetric gr...

The Generalized Bessel Matrix Polynomials

Abstract.In this paper, the generalized Bessel matrix polynomials are introduced, starting from the hypergeometric matrix function. Integral form, Rodrigues’s formula and generating matrix function are then developed for the generalized Bessel matrix polynomials. These polynomials appear as finite series solutions of second-order matrix differential equations and orthogonality property for the ...

Linearization coefficients of Bessel polynomials

We prove positivity results about linearization and connection coefficients for Bessel polynomials. The proof is based on a recursion formula and explicit formulas for the coefficients in special cases. The result implies that the distribution of a convex combination of independent Studentt random variables with arbitrary odd degrees of freedom has a density which is a convex combination of cer...
