Title: On Goss problem concerning the derivative modulo p of certain Artin L functions
Abstract: We will consider a problem formulated by David Goss concerning the derivative modulo $p$ of certain Artin L-functions associated to cyclotomic function fields in characteristic $p.$ We will give a positive answer for a weak version of this problem. Our approach will be similar to Iwasawa's construction of Kubota- Leopoldt $p$-adic L-functions.

Title: Coefficients and Hecke eigenvalues of Drinfeld modular forms

Abstract: Drinfeld modular forms are analogs over the function field $\\mathbf{F}_{q}(T)$ of classical modular forms. Unlike the classical situation, the action of Hecke operators on the analytical expansion of such modular forms is not well understood. In this talk, I will present formulas giving certain coefficients in terms of Hecke eigenvalues, and vice versa, and discuss some applications. The main tool for the proof is an estimate for power sums of coefficients of the Carlitz module.

Title : On a Goldbach-type question in F_q[t]

Abstract : The Goldbach conjecture asserts that every even integer greater than two is the sum of two primes. An analogous conjecture can be formulated in the ring of monic polynomials in one variable over a finite field. This talk is about an approach to this conjecture involving prime values of polynomials and a tool which is available only in the polynomial case. The techniques involve some explicit geometry of plane curves over finite fields and an interplay with the corresponding function field extensions, including the Cebotarev density theorem.

Title: A basis for the space of weakly holomorphic Drinfeld modular forms

Abstract: We construct a natural basis for the space of weakly holomorphic Drinfeld modular forms and observe some arithmetic properties of coefficients of the basis elements.

In precise we find that the basis elements satisfy a generating function and find the duality between coefficients of the basis elements. Moreover we obtain congruence properties of $t$-expansion coefficients of these functions.

Title : Representations of integers by

$x_1^2+2x_2^2+x_3^2+x_4^2+x_1x_3+x_1x_4+x_2x_4$
Abstract:: Let $r_Q(n)$ be the representation number of a nonnegative integer $n$ by the quaternary quadratic form

$Q=x_1^2+2x_2^2+x_3^2+x_4^2+x_1x_3+x_1x_4+x_2x_4$. We prove the identity $r_Q(1)r_Q(p^2n)=r_Q(p^2)r_Q(n)$ for any prime $p$ different from $13$ and any positive integer $n$ prime to $p$. And, we explicitly determine $r_Q(n^2)$ for any integer $n$, too.

Title: On p-adic Hurwitz-type Euler zeta functions

Abstract:: The definition for the p-adic Hurwitz-type Euler zeta functions has been given by using the fermionic p-adic integral on Zp. By computing the values of this kind of p-adic zeta function at negative integers, we show that it inter-polates the Euler polynomials p-adically. Many properties are provided for the p-adic Hurwitz-type Euler zeta functions, including the convergent Laurent series expansion, the distribution formula, the functional equation, the re리ection formula, the derivative formula, the p-adic Raabe formula and so on. The definition for the p-adic Euler L-functions has also been given by using the p-adic Hurwitz-type Euler zeta functions. These is a joint work with Min-Soo Kim

Title : Fermat quotient operators and locally analytic functions
Abstract : Recently, Buium et al. characterize locally analytic functions on $\Z_p$ in terms of a restricted power series over $\Z_p$ in finitely  many iterates of the Fermat quotient operator. In this talk we establish the function field analogue of their result: Let $R:=\F[[\p]]$ be  the ring of formal power series in one variable $\p$ over a finite field $\F$ of size $q$ and $\d: R \rightarrow R$ be the Fermat quotient operator defined by $\d x = {(x-x^q)}/{\p}.$ Then we prove that a function $f: R \rightarrow R$  is locally analytic of order $m$ if and only if there exists an integer $m \geq0$ so that $f(x)=F(x, \d x, \cdots, \d^m x),$ where $F$ is a restricted power series in $R[[x_0, \cdots, x_m]].$ In addition, we deduce Wagner's result for continuous functions on completions of $\F_r[T].$

Title: Average values of L-functions in function fields

Abstract:: Gauss made two famous conjectures about average values of class numbers of orders in quadratic number fields, which were proven by Lipschitz and Siegel. In quadratic function field cases, such average values formulas were obtained by Hoffstein and Rosen in odd characteristic and Chen in even characteristic. Rosen also obtained such a formula in (cubic) Kummer extension case. In this talk, we will introduce our recent result about average values of class numbers of orders in (cubic) Artin-Schreier extensions.  We also will talk about average values of Dirichlet L-series with prime conductors in function field case.

Title: A p-adic view of multiple power sums

Abstract:: Washington [p-adic L-functions and sums of powers, J. Number Theory  69 (1998), 50--61] gave an explicit p-adic expansion of  the harmonic  series as a p-adic power series. The coefficients are values of p-adic L-functions.
In this talk, we gave an explicit p-adic expansion of the multiple harmonic  series as a p-adic power series. The coefficients are values of multiple two-variable p-adic L-functions. Washington's formula is a special case of the  formula given in this talk. These are joint work with Su Hu.

Title: Boundary maps to the supersingular points and the evaluation of Drinfeld modular Beilinson-Kato type elements

Abstract: We consider an analogue of Beilinson-Kato type elements in the K-theory of the moduli of Drinfeld modular varieties. We compute the value at supersingular points via successive boundary maps (in the localization sequences obtained from the strata).  This is a Drinfeld modular analogue of one of first steps in the proof by Beilinson as presented by Schappacher and Scholl of integrality of Beilinson elements.
By restricting to Beilinson-Kato type elements (and not considering all of the Beilinson type elements),
we prove a similar statement by explicit computation, which then generalizes to higher dimensions.

Title: Newton polygons of exponential functions attached to Drinfeld modules of rank 2

Abstract: Let $\\phi$ be a Drinfeld $A$-module of rank $2$ defined over $C_\\infty$. We discuss explicit determination of the Newton polygons of exponential functions attached to $\\phi$ and the successive minima of the lattice associated to $\\phi$ by uniformization. When $\\phi$ is defined over $K_\\infty$, we give a refinement of Gardeyn\'s bounds for the action of wild inertia on the torsion points of $\\phi$, as well as a criterion for the lattice field to be unramified over $K_\\infty$.

Title: Gauss sums over some matrix groups and their applications

Abstract: In this talk, we give explicit expressions of Gauss sums for general (resp. special) linear groups over nite elds, which involve classical Gauss sums (resp. Kloosterman sums). The key ingredient is averaging such sums over Borel subgroups, i.e, the subgroup of upper triangular matrices. Furthermore, we give the following three applications:

(1) the number of invertible matrices of zero-trace over nite elds has been counted.

(2) two bounds by Ferguson, Homan, Luca, Ostafe and Shparlinski in [Some additive combinatorics problems in matrix rings, Rev. Mat. Complut. (23) 2010, 501{513 ] have been largely improved.

(3) several uniformly distributed results in matrix groups have been presented. Finally, if the time is enough, I will also explain the applications of Gauss sums over some matrix groups in coding and cryptography which connect to Dae San Kim's recent work in [ D. S. Kim, Codes associated with special linear groups and power moments of multi-dimensional Kloosterman sums, Ann. Mat. Pura Appl. (4) 190 (2011), 61{76]. These are joint work with Su Hu.

Title: Entire functions sharing simple a-points with their first derivative

Abstract: Let f be an entire function in the complex plane. A famous theorem by Mues and Steinmetz says that if for two complex numbers a_{1} and a_{2} the function f and its derivative f^{'} take the value a_i at exactly the same points of the complex plane, then f[eqn: ==]f^{'}, that is f(z) = Ce^{z}. We discuss what happens if we only know that the points where f respectively f^{‘} takes the value ai with multiplicity one are exactly the same. The proof also uses function eld arguments.

Title: On v-adic periods of t-motives (after Mishiba)

Abstract: I will give an exposition of Mishiba's results on the equality between the transcendental degree of the field generated by the v-adic periods of a t-motive M and the dimension of the Tannakian Galois group for M,where v is a "finite" place of the rational  function field over a finite field. As an application, the algebraic independence of "formal" polylogarithms can be proved.

Title: On metaplectic forms over function fields and an analogue of Waldspurger's formula

Abstract:: In this talk, I present a concept of half integral weight in the function field context. I also introduce a Shimura-type map from the space of weight 2 automorphic forms to the space of weight 3/2 metaplectic forms. From the central critical value formula of Rankin-type L-series attached to weight 2 newforms, these special values are essentially Fourier coefficients of corresponding weight 3/2 forms. This is a function field analogue of Waldspurger's formula

Title: Hilbert genus fields of real biquadratic fields

Abstract: Let be a real biquadratic field with p ≡ 1mod 4 or p = 2, and d a squarefree positive integer. The Hilbert genus field is described explicitly by Yue (Ramanujan J. 21:17–25, 2010) in the case that p ≡ 1 mod 4 and d ≡ 3 mod 4. In this article, we give the Hilbert genus field of K explicitly for the remaining cases. We also consider the function field analogue of this problem.

Title: Recent Developments on Multiple Gamma Functions

Abstract: The multiple Gamma functions $\Gamma_n$ were defined and studied systematically by Barnes and by others  in about 1900.  Two decades ago, these functions were revived in the study of the determinants of the Laplacians on the $n$-dimensional unit sphere ${\bf S}^n$ and have been investigated in various other ways.

There is a remarkably abundant literature on inequalities for the classical Gamma function $\Gamma$ and its such related functions as, for example, the Psi (or Digamma) function. On the other hand, there are only a few very recent papers on inequalities for the double Gamma function $\Gamma_2:=1/G$. Here, in this talk, we aim at presenting certain inequalities for the multiple Gamma functions $\Gamma_n$ for (especially) $n=2,\,3,\,4,\,5$. We employ and extend the method initiated by Batir and Cancan and  express $\log \Gamma_n (1+x)$ as series involving the Zeta functions.  We also derive a more convenient and potentially useful explicit form of the multiple Gamma functions $\Gamma_n$ $(n \in \mathbb{N})$.

Title: The curvatures of lightlike submanifolds of an indefinite Kenmotsu manifold

Abstract: In the classical theory of Kenmotsu manifolds, the following result is well-known: If a Kenmotsu manifold is locally symmetric, then it is of constant negative curvature $-1$. In this paper, we study the forms of curvatures of lightlike submanifolds $M$ of an indefinite Kenmotsu manifold $\bar{M}$ subject to the conditions: (1) $M$ is locally symmetric, or (2) $M$ satisfies the Nomizu's condition, i.e., the curvature tensor $R$ of $M$ satisfies $R(X, Y)R = 0$ on $TM$. We prove the following two results: $\bullet$ If the structure vector field of $\bar{M}$ is tangent to $M$, then $M$ is a space of constant negative curvature $-1$. $\bullet$ If the transversal vector bundle $tr(TM)$ of $M$ is parallel on $T\bar{M}$ and $M$ is irrotational, then $M$ is a space of constant curvature $0$.

Title: Semicentral idempotents in semigroups

Abstract: An idempotent $e$ of a ring $R$ is said to be left (right) semicentral if $xe = exe\,\, (ex = exe)$   for every $x\,\in R$. This notion can be found in [1]. In [1] and related papers, authors determined some properties of semicentral idempotents in some rings. In this paper, we introduce the concept of semicentral idempotent of a semigroup, and discuss some properties of semicentral idempotents in regular and completely regular  semigroups. For undefined terms used in this paper, we referred to [2].
