Normal-distribution and variance conjecture for modular symbols
Normal-distribution and variance conjecture for modular symbols
Let be a semistable elliptic curve over with squarefree conductor , and define
For , define
Modular-symbol distribution conjecture. As tends to infinity, the distribution of the values converges to a normal distribution with mean zero and variance . Moreover, for every divisor of , there is a constant such that
Petridis and Risager proved an averaged distribution theorem over ; this conjecture concerns each modulus tending to infinity and includes a refined second-order variance statement.
