The generalized Ramanujan Conjecture for cuspidal unitary automorphic representations π on GL(2) asserts that |av(π)| ≤ 2. We prove that this inequality is strict if π is generated by a CM Hilbert modular form of parallel weight two and v is a finite place of degree one. Equivalently, the Satake parameters of πv are necessarily distinct. We also give examples where the equality case does occur for primes of degree two.
Inquiry In Inquiry: A Classification Of The Learning Theories Underlying Inquiry-Based Undergraduate Number Theory Texts, Rebecca L. Butler
Inquiry In Inquiry: A Classification Of The Learning Theories Underlying Inquiry-Based Undergraduate Number Theory Texts, Rebecca L. Butler
Honors Projects
While undergraduate inquiry-based texts in number theory share similar approaches with respect to learning as the embodiment of professional practice, this does not entail that these texts all operate from the same fundamental understanding of what it means to learn mathematics. In this paper, the instructional design of several texts of the aforementioned types are analyzed to assess the theory of learning under which they operate. From this understanding of the different theories of learning employed in an inquiry-based mathematical setting, one can come to understand the popular model of what it is to learn number theory in a meaningful …
Dedekind Sums: Properties And Applications To Number Theory And Lattice Point Enumeration, Oliver Meldrum
Dedekind Sums: Properties And Applications To Number Theory And Lattice Point Enumeration, Oliver Meldrum
Honors Papers
In this paper, we will explore the origins, applications, and properties of these sums and one of their generalizations. We seek to explain what these sums represent and how they behave by exploring some of their arithmetic properties. In addition, we hope to show the reader why one should care about these sums. We do this by presenting two important areas in which these sums appear: number theory and the study of enumerating lattice points inside of polytopes.
