This proposal aims to investigate relations between special values of L-functions, cycles and periods with important applications to some open conjectures about L-functions such as those of Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer and Bloch-Kato-Beilinson. Specifically, the investigator and his collaborators will (i) Study the algebraic cycles associated to Rankin-Selberg L-functions and their images under Abel-Jacobi maps, and apply these results to give new constructions of rational points on CM elliptic curves; (ii) Study p-adic L-functions and the Iwasawa main conjecture for CM Hida deformations; (iii) Explore methods to prove a conjecture of his relating periods of quaternionic modular forms to adjoint L-values, with applications to some cases of the Bloch-Kato conjecture (iv) Study the problem of constructing and counting invariant linear forms on a triple product of representations of the metaplectic group, thus generalizing results on triple product L-functions associated to modular forms of integral weight to the setting of modular forms of half-integral weight. The general focus of this proposal is the area of number theory. Number theory has to do with such objects as prime numbers and diophantine equations. Other than being perhaps the oldest branch of mathematics, it is of great significance in today's world, since many cryptographic protocols (needed for secure transmissions over the internet) and error correcting codes (needed for compact discs, hard discs and the like) are based on number theoretic methods. These practical applications in fact involve rather sophisticated geometrical objects such as elliptic curves. Over the last half-century, we have realized that one can gain a better understanding of these geometric objects by studying certain functions, called L-functions. Conjecturally one expects that very interesting information about the geometric object is encoded in the behavior of the associated L-function at certain special points. The investigator hopes to deepen our understanding of this connection through the work to be done in the current proposal. One of the concrete consequences of this project will be a new method to find solutions in rational numbers to certain cubic equations, a central problem in number theory.

本文的目的是研究L-函数的特殊值、圈和周期之间的关系，并对Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer和Bloch-Kato-Beilinson等关于L-函数的公开定理有重要的应用.具体而言，研究者及其合作者将（i）研究与Rankin-Selberg L-函数相关的代数圈及其在Abel-Jacobi映射下的图像，并应用这些结果给出CM椭圆曲线上有理点的新构造;（ii）研究CM希达变形的p-adic L-函数和Iwasawa主要猜想;（iii）探索证明他将四元数模形式的周期与伴随L值相关联的猜想的方法，与应用程序的一些情况下的布洛赫-加藤猜想（iv）研究亚群表示的三重积上的不变线性型的构造和计数问题，从而将与整权模形式相关的三重积L-函数的结果推广到半整权模形式的设定。这个建议的一般重点是数论领域。数论与素数和丢番图方程等对象有关。除了可能是数学中最古老的分支之外，它在当今世界具有重要意义，因为许多加密协议（需要通过互联网进行安全传输）和纠错码（需要用于光盘，硬盘等）都是基于数论方法。这些实际应用实际上涉及相当复杂的几何对象，例如椭圆曲线。在过去的半个世纪里，我们已经意识到，通过研究某些函数，称为L函数，可以更好地理解这些几何对象。从推测上说，人们期望关于几何对象的非常有趣的信息被编码在相关L函数在某些特殊点的行为中。调查员希望通过本提案中有待开展的工作加深我们对这一联系的理解。这个项目的具体成果之一将是一种新的方法来寻找解决某些三次方程的有理数，这是数论中的一个中心问题。
