Fields of rationality of cusp forms

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper, we prove that for any totally real field F, weight k, and nebentypus character chi, the proportion of Hilbert cusp forms over F of weight k and character chi with bounded field of rationality approaches zero as the level grows large. This answers, in the affirmative, a question of Serre. The proof has three main inputs: first, a lower bound on fields of rationality for admissible GL2 representations; second, an explicit computation of the (fixed-central-character) Plancherel measure for GL2; and third, a Plancherel equidsitribution theorem for cusp forms with fixed central character. The equidistribution theorem is the key intermediate result and builds on earlier work of Shin and Shin-Templier and mirrors work of Finis-Lapid-Mueller by introducing an explicit bound for certain families of orbital integrals.
