The original Sato--Tate Conjecture concerns the angle distribution of the eigenvalues arising from non-CM elliptic curves. In this paper, we formulate a modular analogue of the Sato--Tate Conjecture and prove that the angles arising from non-CM holomorphic Hecke eigenforms with non-trivial central characters are not distributed with respect to the Sate--Tate measure for non-CM elliptic curves. Furthermore, under a reasonable conjecture, we prove that the expected distribution is uniform.

Let $F$ be a totally real number field and let $\GL_{n}$ be the general linear group of rank $n$ over $F$. Let $\mathfrak{p}$ be a prime ideal of $F$ and $F_{\mathfrak{p}}$ the completion of $F$ with respect to the valuation induced by $\mathfrak{p}$. We will consider a finite quotient of the affine building of the group $\GL_{n}$ over the field $F_{\mathfrak{p}}$. We will view this object as a hypergraph and find a set of commuting operators whose sum will be the usual adjacency operator of the graph underlying the hypergraph.

Jacobi-like forms for a discrete subgroup $\G \subset \SL(2,\mbb R)$ are formal power series with coefficients in the space of functions on the Poincar\'e upper half plane satisfying a certain functional equation, and they correspond to sequences of certain modular forms. We introduce Hecke operators acting on the space of Jacobi-like forms and obtain an explicit formula for such an action in terms of modular forms. We also prove that those Hecke operator actions on Jacobi-like forms are compatible with the usual Hecke operator actions on modular forms.

Hecke operators are used to investigate part of the $\E_2$-term of the Adams spectral sequence based on elliptic homology. The main result is a derivation of $\Ext^1$ which combines use of classical Hecke operators and $p$-adic Hecke operators due to Serre.
