Introduction of Research

Automorphic forms, which are functions with rich symmetry, give us several number theoretic information, such as analytic continuation and functional equations of L-functions.
I study automorphic representations, which are representations consists of automorphic forms.
Arthur's classification which is a classification of automorphic representations of classical groups, is difficult to understand.
My main research theme is to study Arthur's classification using liftings of automorphic forms.

What is the research theme that you are currently focusing on?

My research topic is “number theory”. In particular, I am interested in the question of whether prime numbers can be expressed in a given quadratic form. A prime number is a natural number that cannot be divided by anything other than 1 and itself, and a quadratic form is an expression such as ax2 + bxy + cy2. For example, Fermat’s theorem on sums of two squares states that an odd prime p can be expressed as p = x2 + y2 with x and y integers, if and only if p ≡ 1 mod 4. Many similar assertions have been established, but when the quadratic form is complicated, the question becomes much difficult. The situation is still far from a complete solution to this problem.

Quadratic forms and congruences

Please briefly introduce us to the big project you have been tackling.

When we consider the problem of expressing prime numbers in quadratic form, in the simplest case, an answer can be obtained by classifying prime numbers by congruences. On the other hand, to describing the prime numbers p which can be written in the form p = x2 + xy + 6y2 with x and y integers, we need the notion of modular forms. A modular form is a function satisfying a certain kind of functional equations. Modular forms were also used to show Fermat’s Last Theorem. Currently, by using modular forms in a different way, I am considering a new approach to the problem of expressing prime numbers in quadratic forms. For this purpose, I am also carrying out numerical experiments using a computer.
