Every Siegel cusp form \(F\) of
weight \(k\) over a Hecke congruence
subgroup \(\Gamma _0^n(N)\) of the
symplectic group \(Sp_n(\mathbb {Z})
\subseteq \mathbb {Z}^{2n, 2n}\) has
a Fourier series representation
Here \(Z\) belongs to the Siegel
space of degree \(n\) and \(J_n\)
denotes the set of
positive-definite, half-integral,
symmetric, \(n\) by \(n\) matrices.
In this talk we discuss the
existence of simple looking matrices
\(T\) such that \(c_F(T) \neq 0\)
whenever \(F \neq 0\). In this
manner one gets proper,
uncomplicated subsets \(\Delta \) of
\(J_n\) such that
\[ F = G \ \text{if, and only if}, \
c_F(T) = c_G(T) \ \text{for all $T
\in \Delta $}. \]
In particular, for \(n=3\) we
exhibit a set \(\Delta \)
parametrized by triples of primes
numbers which characterize all
Siegel cusp forms in \(S_k^3(N, \chi
)\) whenever \(N\) is odd and
conductor of \(\chi = N\).

In recent years, \(p\)-adic \(L\)-functions have been a subject of considerable study. An important problem in modern number theory is to construct \(p\)-adic \(L\)-functions of automorphic forms. Let \(K\) be an imaginary quadratic field and consider the automorphic forms of \(\mathrm{GL}_2\) over \(K\), better known as Bianchi modular forms. In this talk, we present the ideas of our construction of the \(p\)-adic \(L\)-function of non-cuspidal Bianchi modular forms given by the base change to \(K\) of modular forms with complex multiplication by \(K\). We also show a factorization of our \(p\)-adic \(L\)-functions as the product of two Katz \(p\)-adic \(L\)-functions, which are, the \(p\)-adic \(L\)-functions of Hecke characters of \(K\).

In this talk we will explain
what branching laws are and
their link to critical
\(L\)-values of certain
automorphic representations of
\(U_{n+1} \times U_n\). We
will show how to
\(p\)-adically interpolate
these branching laws and
explain how this construction
yields a \(p\)-adic
\(L\)-function. Time
permitting, we will discuss
how to extend such
constructions to more general
spherical pairs.

Let \(E\) be an elliptic curve
defined over a function field
\(K\) of positive
characteristic. When \(E\) has
split multiplicative reduction
at the infinite place, there
is an analogue of the
modularity theorem of Wiles
over \(\mathbb {Q}\). In this
talk, we will introduce
Drinfeld curves and Drinfeld
modular forms to give a
general idea of this
modularity theorem over
function fields. In addition,
we will introduce a conjecture
of Watkins in 2002 that
relates the Mordell-Weil rank
with the modular degree of an
elliptic curves over \(\mathbb
{Q}\), and then we will
present an analogue of this
conjecture over function
fields and show some cases
where this conjecture is
satisfied. Those results are
part of my PhD thesis under
the supervision of Hector
Pasten (PUC).
