3 Example : elliptic curves Consider an elliptic curve E /Q of conductor N and root number ε = 1. The associated modular form f = a n q n, q = e 2iπz. (1) satifies Wf = f and vanishes at q = e 2π N, f (q) = 0 = q + a 2 q 2 + a 3 q (2) By Hasse, a n σ 0 (n) n n, so the equality is possible only if q nq n q = (1 q) k 2 2 q = q2 (2 q) (1 q) 2. (3)

4 b(q)=q*(2-q)/(1-q)^2; plot(n=.5,40,b(exp(-2*pi/sqrt(n))))

5 b(q)=q*(2-q)/(1-q)^2; plot(n=.5,40,b(exp(-2*pi/sqrt(n)))) solve(n=.5,40,b(exp(-2*pi/sqrt(n)))-1) Theorem If an elliptic curve has rank r 1, its conductor satisfies N 27.

The (symmetrized) inverse Mellin transform F (x) = e x 2 a n e 2π e x n N (4) satisfies F (x) = εf ( x). (5) In particular for all 0 < y < π 2, F (iy) ϵf ( iy) = 0. Let t = e iy k 2, q = e 2π e iy N, one must have a n (tq n ϵtq n ) = 0 n 1

Equation for coefficient a p e : ( ) ( ) k p e a k x k + a p e a m x p e m m p If e d 2, by reciprocity of F p(t ) all a p l ( ) a n x n n p e Ramanujan bound a n b n on the tail polynomial equation P(a p e ) r solve in integers in [ b p e, b p e ]. = k p e a k x k in terms of a p j, j e ( ) + a p l a m x p l m = a n x n l e m p n p

56 Good and bad tails Case of polynomial equation of degree 1 : S 0 + a p S 1 B p = b p+ x p+ + b p++ x p S 1 B p at most one solution a p. the ratio B p x p can be studied a priori usually nice at big prime gaps can be horrible for twin primes

57 Combine equations Combine approximate functional equations : X n = (x n,1,... x n,r ) define S = n p e a n X n, T = m p a m X p e m, and R = (b n X n ) n p. For all λ R n, S.λ + a p T.λ R.λ 1 Choose λ to minimize R.λ W.λ : least absolute deviations. Can be solved with iterated + weighted least squares.

61 Observations Ramanujan very easy to build (despite k = 12). May need many equations to cancel tail (here 11a 2) For N = 66, k = 2 and central character χ = ( 66 ), a match exists for the 71 first primes, then disapears. ( ) 66 is trivial up to p = 19, and π(19 2 ) = 72

May need many equations to cancel tail (here 11a 2) For N = 66, k = 2 and central character χ = ( 66 ), a match exists for the 71 first primes, then disapears.

Challenges : Γ C (s 6)Γ C (s), k = 20, N = 1, a 2 = 0... prove nothing exists outside what is expected fill missing bad Euler factors rigorously (e.g. symmetric powers)
