Grove and Saad (2025) generalize Sato–Tate laws to joint distributions for pairs of elliptic curves, showing independence in generic cases. But what about the exceptions? This research would systematically study cases where the independence fails—possibly due to hidden arithmetic or geometric constraints—and develop a new theoretical framework explaining these conflicts. By leveraging étale cohomology and monodromy (as in their work), but focusing on the “anomalous” or “degenerate” cases where distributions interact, this project would bridge gaps between families of curves and modular forms. The novelty is in spotlighting and explaining failures of the expected statistical independence, which could reveal new symmetries, obstructions, or correspondences in number theory.
