Short-interval sector problems for CM elliptic curves

Apoorva Panidapu and Jesse Thorner

Vol. 16 (2023), No. 1, 1–12
Abstract

Let E be an elliptic curve that has complex multiplication (CM) by an imaginary quadratic field K. For a prime p, there exists 𝜃p [0,π] such that

p + 1 #E(𝔽p) = 2pcos 𝜃p.

Let x > 0 be large, and let I [0,π] be a subinterval. We prove that if δ > 0 and 𝜃 > 0 are fixed numbers such that δ + 𝜃 < 5 24, x1δ h x, and |I| x𝜃 , then

1 h x<px+h 𝜃pI log p 1 21π2I+|I| 2π,

where 1π2I equals 1 if π 2 I and 0 otherwise. We also discuss an extension of this result to the distribution of the Fourier coefficients of holomorphic cuspidal CM newforms.
