    ELLIPTIC CURVES AND PARAMODULAR FORMS

    No full text
    There is a lifting from a non-CM elliptic curve E/QE/\mathbb{Q} to a cuspidal paramodular newform ff of degree 22 and weight 33 given by the symmetric cube map. We find a description of the level of ff in terms of the coefficients of the Weierstrass equation of EE. In order to compute the paramodular level, we need a detailed description of the local representations πp\pi_p of \GL(2,\mathbb{Q}_p) attached to E/QpE/\mathbb{Q}_p, where πpπp\pi\cong\bigotimes\limits_p\pi_p is the cuspidal automorphic representation of \GL(2,\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}}) associated with E/QE/\mathbb{Q}. We use the available description of the local representations of \GL(2,\mathbb{Q}_p) attached to EE for p5p \ge 5 and determine the local representation of \GL(2,\mathbb{Q}_3) attached to EE. In fact, we study the representations of \GL(2, K) attached to E/KE/K for any non-archimedean local field KK of characteristic 00 and residue characteristic 33

    Constraints on cosmic rays in the Milky Way circumgalactic medium from OVIII observations

    No full text
    We constrain the cosmic ray (CR) population in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of Milky Way by comparing the observations of absorption lines of OVIII ion with predictions from analytical models of CGM : precipitation (PP) and isothermal (IT) model. For a CGM in hydrostatic equilibrium, the introduction of CR suppresses thermal pressure, and affects the OVIII ion abundance. We explore the allowances given to the ratio of CR pressure to thermal pressure (PCR/Pth=η\rm{P}_{\rm{CR}}/\rm{P}_{\rm{th}}=\eta), with varying boundary conditions, CGM mass content, photoionization by extragalactic ultraviolet background and temperature fluctuations. We find that the allowed maximum values of η\eta are : η10\eta\lesssim10 in the PP model and η6\eta\lesssim6 in the IT model. We also explore the spatial variation of η\eta : rising (η=Ax\eta=Ax) or declining (η=A/x\eta=A/x) with radius, where A is the normalization of the profiles. In particular, the models with declining ratio of CR to thermal pressure fare better than those with rising ratio with suitable temperature fluctuation (larger σlnT\sigma_{\rm ln T} for PP and lower for IT). The declining profiles allow A8A\lesssim8 and A10A\lesssim10 in the case of IT and PP models, respectively, thereby accommodating a large value of η(200)\eta \,(\simeq 200) in the central region, but not in the outer regions. These limits, combined with the limits derived from γ\gamma-ray and radio background, can be useful for building models of Milky Way CGM including CR population. However, the larger amount of CR can be packed in cold phase which may be one way to circumvent these constraints.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, 1 table Accepted for publication in ApJ on Apr 22, 202

    Local data of rational elliptic curves with non-trivial torsion

    No full text
    By Mazur's Torsion Theorem, there are fourteen possibilities for the non-trivial torsion subgroup TT of a rational elliptic curve. For each TT, such that EE may have additive reduction at a prime pp, we consider a parameterized family ETE_T of elliptic curves with the property that they parameterize all elliptic curves E/QE/\mathbb{Q} which contain TT in their torsion subgroup. Using these parameterized families, we explicitly classify the Kodaira-N\'{e}ron type, the conductor exponent, and the local Tamagawa number at each prime pp where E/QE/\mathbb{Q} has additive reduction. As a consequence, we find all rational elliptic curves with a 22-torsion or a 33-torsion point that have global Tamagawa number 11.Comment: 36 pages; incorporates referee's suggestions; final version to appear in Pacific Journal of Mathematic

    Representations attached to elliptic curves with a non-trivial odd torsion point

    No full text
    We give a classification of the cuspidal automorphic representations attached to rational elliptic curves with a non-trivial torsion point of odd order. Such elliptic curves are parameterizable, and in this paper, we find the necessary and sufficient conditions on the parameters to determine when split or non-split multiplicative reduction occurs. Using this and the known results on when additive reduction occurs for these parametrized curves, we classify the automorphic representations in terms of the parameters.Comment: 17 pages; incorporates referee's suggestions; a small correction to the statement of Theorem 3.3; final version to appear in Bulletin of the London Mathematical Societ

    Gamma-rays from the circumgalactic medium of M31

    No full text
    We discuss the production of γ\gamma-rays from cosmic rays (CR) in the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of Andromeda (M31) in light of the recent detection of γ\gamma-rays from an annular region of 5.5120\sim 5.5-120 kpc away from the M31 disc. We consider the CRs accelerated as a result of the star-formation in the M31 disk, which are lifted to the CGM by advection due to outflow and CR diffusion. The advection time scale due to bulk flow of gas triggered by star formation activity in the M31 disc is comparable (\sim Gyr) to the diffusion time scale with diffusion coefficient 1029\ge10^{29} cm2^2 s1^{-1} for the propagation of CR protons with energy 412\sim 412 GeV that are responsible for the highest energy photons observed. We show that a leptonic origin of the γ\gamma-rays from cosmic ray (CR) electrons has difficulties, as the inverse Compton time scale (\simMyr) is much lower than advection time scale (\simGyr) to reach 120120 kpc. Invoking CR electrons accelerated by accretion shocks in the CGM at 100120\sim100-120 kpc does not help since it would lead to diffuse X-ray features that are not observed. We, therefore, study the production of γ\gamma-rays via hadronic interaction between CR protons and CGM gas with the help of numerical two-fluid (thermal + CR) hydrodynamical simulation. We find that a combination of these mechanisms, that are related to the star formation processes in M31 in the last \sim Gyr, along with diffusion and hadronic interaction, can explain the observed flux from the CGM of M31.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, Accepted for publication in MNRAS on May 19, 202

    Effect of mixed cropping with lupin (Lupinus albus L.) on growth and nitrogen uptake in pasture grasses grown under manure application

    The use of organic fertilizer is essential to ensure sustainable agricultural production. Because organic fertilizer normally acts as a slow-release fertilizer, improving its nutrient-use efficiency is important, particularly in terms of nitrogen (N) nutrition. In the present study, we attempted to increase the N-use efficiency of cattle farmyard manure (CM) in the cultivation of pasture grasses by mixed cropping with white lupin (Lupinus albus), which has been reported to decompose organic N in its rhizosphere. Timothy (Phleum pratense) and orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata) were cultivated with or without either lupin or soybean (Glycine max) in pots under three different N treatments (CM, ammonium sulfate, or no N). In the CM treatment, growth was higher in grasses cultivated with lupin than in those cultivated alone or with soybean. Moreover, decomposition of soluble organic N and protease activity in the rhizosphere soil of grasses with CM treatment were enhanced by mixed cropping with lupin. Analyses of microbial activity and bacterial community structure using Biolog EcoPlates suggested that the enhanced decomposition of soluble organic N was facilitated by lupin roots rather than by rhizosphere microorganisms

    Dimension formulas for Siegel modular forms of level 44

    No full text
    We prove several dimension formulas for spaces of scalar-valued Siegel modular forms of degree 22 with respect to certain congruence subgroups of level 44. In case of cusp forms, all modular forms considered originate from cuspidal automorphic representations of GSp(4,A)\mathrm{GSp}(4,\mathbb{A}) whose local component at p=2p=2 admits non-zero fixed vectors under the principal congruence subgroup of level 22. Using known dimension formulas combined with dimensions of spaces of fixed vectors in local representations at p=2p=2, we obtain formulas for the number of relevant automorphic representations. These in turn lead to new dimension formulas, in particular for Siegel modular forms with respect to the Klingen congruence subgroup of level 44.Comment: 48 pages.

    Supercongruences Arising from Ramanujan-Sato Series

    No full text
    Recently, the authors with Lea Beneish established a recipe for constructing Ramanujan-Sato series for 1/π, and used this to construct 11 explicit examples of Ramanujan-Sato series arising from modular forms for arithmetic triangle groups of non-compact type. Here, we use work of Chisholm, Deines, Long, Nebe and the third author to prove a general p-adic supercongruence theorem through an explicit connection to CM hypergeometric elliptic curves that provides p-adic analogues of these Ramanujan-Sato series. We further use this theorem to construct explicit examples related to each of our explicit Ramanujan-Sato series examples
