1. A new zero-free region for Rankin–Selberg 𝐿-functions

   https://doi.org/10.1515/crelle-2025-0009  

   Harcos, Gergely; Thorner, Jesse (March 2025, Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik (Crelles Journal))

   Abstract Let 𝜋 and ${\pi }^{\prime }$\pi^{\prime}be cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}\left(n\right)$\mathrm{GL}(n)and $\mathrm{GL}\left(n^{\prime }\right)$\mathrm{GL}(n^{\prime})with unitary central characters.We establish a new zero-free region for all $\mathrm{GL}\left(1\right)$\mathrm{GL}(1)-twists of the Rankin–Selberg 𝐿-function $L(s,\pi \times {\pi }^{\prime })$L(s,\pi\times\pi^{\prime}), generalizing Siegel’s celebrated work on Dirichlet 𝐿-functions.As an application, we prove the first unconditional Siegel–Walfisz theorem for the Dirichlet coefficients of $-L^{\prime }(s,\pi \times {\pi }^{\prime })/L(s,\pi \times {\pi }^{\prime })$-L^{\prime}(s,\pi\times\pi^{\prime})/L(s,\pi\times\pi^{\prime}).Also, for $n\le 8$n\leq 8, we extend the region of holomorphy and nonvanishing for the twisted symmetric power 𝐿-functions $L(s,\pi ,{\mathrm{Sym}}^n\otimes \chi )$L(s,\pi,\mathrm{Sym}^{n}\otimes\chi)of any cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}\left(2\right)$\mathrm{GL}(2).

2. Products of primes in arithmetic progressions

   https://doi.org/10.1515/crelle-2023-0096  

   Matomäki, Kaisa; Teräväinen, Joni (January 2024, Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik (Crelles Journal))

   Abstract A conjecture of Erdős states that, for any large primeq, every reduced residue class $\left(\mathrm{mod}q\right)${(\operatorname{mod}q)}can be represented as a product $p_1{p}_2${p_{1}p_{2}}of two primes $p_1,p_2\le q${p_{1},p_{2}\leq q}. We establish a ternary version of this conjecture, showing that, for any sufficiently large cube-free integerq, every reduced residue class $\left(\mathrm{mod}q\right)${(\operatorname{mod}q)}can be written as $p_1{p}_2{p}_3${p_{1}p_{2}p_{3}}with $p_1,p_2,p_3\le q${p_{1},p_{2},p_{3}\leq q}primes. We also show that, for any $\epsilon >0${\varepsilon>0}and any sufficiently large integerq, at least $\left(\frac{2}{3}-\epsilon \right)\phi \left(q\right)${(\frac{2}{3}-\varepsilon)\varphi(q)}reduced residue classes $\left(\mathrm{mod}q\right)${(\operatorname{mod}q)}can be represented as a product $p_1{p}_2${p_{1}p_{2}}of two primes $p_1,p_2\le q${p_{1},p_{2}\leq q}.The problems naturally reduce to studying character sums. The main innovation in the paper is the establishment of a multiplicative dense model theorem for character sums over primes in the spirit of the transference principle. In order to deal with possible local obstructions we establish bounds for the logarithmic density of primes in certain unions of cosets of subgroups of ${\mathbb{Z}}_q^{\times }${\mathbb{Z}_{q}^{\times}}of small index and study in detail the exceptional case that there exists a quadratic character $\psi \left(\mathrm{mod}q\right)${\psi~{}(\operatorname{mod}\,q)}such that $\psi \left(p\right)=-1${\psi(p)=-1}for very many primes $p\le q${p\leq q}.

3. Negative moments of the Riemann zeta-function

   https://doi.org/10.1515/crelle-2023-0091  

   Bui, Hung M; Florea, Alexandra (January 2024, Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik (Crelles Journal))

   Abstract Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we study negative moments of the Riemann zeta-function and obtain asymptotic formulas in certain ranges of the shift in $\zeta \left(s\right)${\zeta(s)}. For example, integrating ${\left|\zeta \left(\frac{1}{2}+\alpha +it\right)\right|}^{-2k}${|\zeta(\frac{1}{2}+\alpha+it)|^{-2k}}with respect totfromTto $2T${2T}, we obtain an asymptotic formula when the shift α is roughly bigger than $\frac{1}{\log T}${\frac{1}{\log T}}and $k<\frac{1}{2}${k<\frac{1}{2}}. We also obtain non-trivial upper bounds for much smaller shifts, as long as $\log \frac{1}{\alpha }\ll \log \log T${\log\frac{1}{\alpha}\ll\log\log T}. This provides partial progress towards a conjecture of Gonek on negative moments of the Riemann zeta-function, and settles the conjecture in certain ranges. As an application, we also obtain an upper bound for the average of the generalized Möbius function.

4. The closure ordering conjecture on local Arthur packets of classical groups

   https://doi.org/10.1515/crelle-2025-0012  

   Hazeltine, Alexander; Liu, Baiying; Lo, Chi-Heng; Zhang, Qing (March 2025, Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik (Crelles Journal))

   Abstract We prove the closure ordering conjecture on the local 𝐿-parameters of representations in local Arthur packets of ${\mathrm{G}}_n={\mathrm{Sp}}_{2n},{\mathrm{SO}}_{2n+1}$\mathrm{G}_{n}=\mathrm{Sp}_{2n},\mathrm{SO}_{2n+1}over a non-Archimedean local field of characteristic zero.Precisely, given any representation 𝜋 in a local Arthur packet ${\mathrm{\Pi }}_{\psi }$\Pi_{\psi}, the closure of the local 𝐿-parameter of 𝜋 in the Vogan variety must contain the local 𝐿-parameter corresponding to 𝜓.This conjecture reveals a geometric nature of local Arthur packets and is inspired by the work of Adams, Barbasch and Vogan, and the work of Cunningham, Fiori, Moussaoui, Mracek and Xu, on ABV-packets.As an application, for general quasi-split connected reductive groups, we show that the closure ordering conjecture implies the enhanced Shahidi conjecture, under certain reasonable assumptions.This provides a framework towards the enhanced Shahidi conjecture in general.We verify these assumptions for ${\mathrm{G}}_n$\mathrm{G}_{n}, hence give a new proof of the enhanced Shahidi conjecture.Finally, we show that local Arthur packets cannot be fully contained in other ones, which is in contrast to the situation over Archimedean local fields and is of independent interest.

5. Higher order Kirillov--Reshetikhin modules for 𝐔 _q ( A _n ⁽¹⁾ ), imaginary modules and monoidal categorification

   https://doi.org/10.1515/crelle-2023-0068  

   Brito, Matheus; Chari, Vyjayanthi (October 2023, Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik (Crelles Journal))

   Abstract We study the family of irreducible modules for quantum affine $𝔰{𝔩}_{n+1}${\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}}whose Drinfeld polynomials are supported on just one node of the Dynkin diagram. We identify all the prime modules in this family and prove a unique factorization theorem. The Drinfeld polynomials of the prime modules encode information coming from the points of reducibility of tensor products of the fundamental modules associated to $A_m${A_{m}}with $m\le n${m\leq n}. These prime modules are a special class of the snake modules studied by Mukhin and Young. We relate our modules to the work of Hernandez and Leclerc and define generalizations of the category ${\mathcal{𝒞}}^{-}${\mathscr{C}^{-}}. This leads naturally to the notion of an inflation of the corresponding Grothendieck ring. In the last section we show that the tensor product of a (higher order) Kirillov–Reshetikhin module with its dual always contains an imaginary module in its Jordan–Hölder series and give an explicit formula for its Drinfeld polynomial. Together with the results of [D. Hernandez and B. Leclerc,A cluster algebra approach toq-characters of Kirillov–Reshetikhin modules,J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS) 18 2016, 5, 1113–1159] this gives examples of a product of cluster variables which are not in the span of cluster monomials. We also discuss the connection of our work with the examples arising from the work of [E. Lapid and A. Mínguez,Geometric conditions for $\mathrm{\square }$\square-irreducibility of certain representations of the general linear group over a non-archimedean local field,Adv. Math. 339 2018, 113–190]. Finally, we use our methods to give a family of imaginary modules in type $D_4${D_{4}}which do not arise from an embedding of $A_r${A_{r}}with $r\le 3${r\leq 3}in $D_4${D_{4}}.
