A family of global integrals representing a product of tensor product (partial) $L$-functions: $ L^S(s,\pi\times\tau_1)L^S(s,\pi\times\tau_2)... L^S(s,\pi\times\tau_r) $ are established in this paper, where $\pi$ is an irreducible cuspidal…

We prove three main results: all Langlands-Shahidi automorphic $L$-functions over function fields are rational; after twists by highly ramified characters our automorphic $L$-functions become polynomials; and, if $\pi$ is a globally generic…

Studying the analytic properties of the partial Langlands $L$-function via Rankin-Selberg method has been proved to be successful in various cases. Yet in few cases is the local theory studied at the archimedean places, which causes a…
