About the Lab

Professor YoungJu Choie's research lab specializes in arithmetic and analytic number theory, with a strong focus on modular forms, L-functions, and their arithmetic properties. The lab investigates deep connections between modular forms, Hecke eigenforms, and special values of L-functions, particularly through the study of period polynomials, Fourier coefficients, and their p-adic properties. A central theme is the interplay between modular forms and number-theoretic conjectures such as the Riemann Hypothesis, as seen in Robin’s criterion and related inequalities. The lab also explores theta lifts and Jacobi forms arising from combinatorial objects like codes, linking number theory with algebraic combinatorics.

LINEAR RELATIONS BETWEEN MODULAR FORM COEFFICIENTS AND NON-ORDINARY PRIMES
YoungJu Choie, Winfried Kohnen, Ken Ono
SJR Q1Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society

Here, a classical observation of Siegel is generalized by determining all the linear relations among the initial Fourier coefficients of a modular form on SL2(Z). As a consequence, spaces Mk are identified, in which there are universal p-divisibility properties for certain p-power coefficients. As a corollary, let f⁡(z)=∑n=1∞af⁡(n)⁢qn∈Sk∩OL⁡[[q]] be a normalized Hecke eigenform (note that q:=e2πiz), and let k ≡ δ(k) (mod 12), where δ(k) ∈ {4, 6, 8, 10, 14}.

The first signchange of Fourier coefficients of cusp forms
YoungJu Choie, Winfried Kohnen
SJR Q1American Journal of Mathematics

Let $f=\sum_{n&gt;o} a(n)q^{n}, a(n)$ real, be an arbitrary nonzero cusp form of even integral weight $k\geq 2$ on $\Gamma_0(N),$ square free $N.$ We obtain an effective bound that the first sign change of $a(n)$ occurs.

The complete weight enumerator of Type II codes over Z/sub 2m/ and Jacobi forms
YoungJu Choie, Namshik Kim
SJR Q1IEEE Transactions on Information Theory

In this correspondence, we construct theta series that are Jacobi forms, from the complete enumerator of Type II codes over Z/sub 2m/. Moreover, we construct a map from a certain invariant space to the space of Jacobi forms on the full modular group.
