Automorphic forms for elliptic function fields

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let F be the function field of an elliptic curve X over Fq. In this paper, we calculate explicit formulas for unramified Hecke operators acting on automorphic forms over F. We determine these formulas in the language of the graph of an Hecke operator, for which we use its interpretation in terms of P1-bundles on X. This allows a purely geometric approach, which involves, amongst others, a classification of the P1-bundles on X. We apply the computed formulas to calculate the dimension of the space of unramified cusp forms and the support of a cusp form. We show that a cuspidal Hecke eigenform does not vanish in the trivial P1-bundle. Further, we determine the space of unramified F-toroidal automorphic forms where F is the quadratic constant field extension of F. It does not contain non-trivial cusp forms. An investigation of zeros of certain Hecke L-series leads to the conclusion that the space of unramified toroidal automorphic forms is spanned by the Eisenstein series where s+1/2 is a zero of the zeta function of X---with one possible exception in the case that q is even and the class number h equals q+1.
