Quantitative Nonvanishing of L-series Associated to Canonical Hecke Characters
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove quantitative nonvanishing theorems for central values and central derivatives of L–series associated to canonical Hecke characters of imaginary quadratic fields. These results have applications to the study of Chow groups of Kuga-Sato varieties. Some key ingredients in the proofs are bounds for `-torsion in class groups obtained recently by Ellenberg and Venkatesh [EV], and subconvexity bounds for automorphic L–functions due to Duke, Friedlander, and Iwaniec [DFI].

Effective Nonvanishing of Canonical Hecke L-functions
Motivated by work of Gross, Rohrlich, and more recently Kim, Masri, and Yang, we investigate the nonvanishing of central values of L-functions of “canonical” weight 2k−1 Hecke characters for Q( √ −p), where 3 < p ≡ 3 (mod 4) is prime. Using the work of Rodriguez-Villegas and Zagier, we show that there are nonvanishing central values provided that p ≥ 6.5(k−1) and (−1) ( 2 p ) = 1. Moreover, we ...
متن کاملNonvanishing of Hecke L–functions for Cm Fields and Ranks of Abelian Varieties
In this paper we prove a nonvanishing theorem for central values of L– functions associated to a large class of algebraic Hecke characters of CM number fields. A key ingredient in the proof is an asymptotic formula for the average of these central values. We combine the nonvanishing theorem with work of Tian and Zhang [TZ] to deduce that infinitely many of the CM abelian varieties associated to...
متن کاملCommon Zeros of Theta Functions and Central Hecke L-values of Cm Number Fields of Degree 4
In this note, we apply the method of Rodriguez Villegas and Yang (1996) to construct a family of infinite many theta series over the HilbertBlumenthal modular surfaces with a common zero. We also relate the nonvanishing of the central L-values of certain Hecke characters of non-biquadratic CM number fields of degree 4 to the nonvanishing of theta functions at CM points in the Hilbert-Blumenthal...
متن کاملNonvanishing of L-functions, the Ramanujan Conjecture, and Families of Hecke Characters
We prove a nonvanishing result for families of GLn × GLn Rankin–Selberg L-functions in the critical strip, as one factor runs over twists by Hecke characters. As an application, we simplify the proof, due to Luo, Rudnick, and Sarnak, of the best known bounds towards the Generalized Ramanujan Conjecture at the infinite places for cusp forms on GLn. A key ingredient is the regularization of the u...
متن کاملCanonical Periods and Congruence Formulae
0. Introduction. The purpose of this article is to show how congruences between the Fourier coefficients of Hecke eigenforms give rise to corresponding congruences between the algebraic parts of the critical values of the associated L-functions. This study was initiated by Mazur in his fundamental work on the Eisenstein ideal (see [Maz1] and [Maz2]), where it was made clear that congruences for...
