In this paper, we derive a function field version of the Waldspurger formula for the central critical values of the Rankin-Selberg L-functions. This formula states that the central critical L-values in question can be expressed as the…
We give an exposition of central value formulas for twisted L-functions for GL(2) in terms of compact periods, with a focus on explaining an approach via the relative trace formula and joint work of the author with David Whitehouse.
We determine local test vectors for Waldspurger functionals for GL(2), in the case where both the representation of GL(2) and the character of the degree two extension are ramified, with certain restrictions. We use this to obtain an…
In a companion paper, we formulated a global conjecture for the automorphic period integral associated to the symmetric pairs defined by unitary groups over number fields, generalizing a theorem of Waldspurger's toric period for…
For the group G=PGL_2 we perform a comparison between two relative trace formulas: on one hand, the relative trace formula of Jacquet for the quotient T\backslash G/T, where T is a non-trivial torus, and on the other the Kuznetsov trace…
We describe a construction of preimages for the Shimura map on Hilbert modular forms using generalized theta series, and give an explicit Waldspurger type formula relating their Fourier coefficients to central values of twisted…
We study the linear periods on $GL_{2n}$ twisted by a character using a new relative trace formula. We establish the relative fundamental lemma and the transfer of orbital integrals. Together with the spectral isolation technique of…
We formulate a global conjecture for the automorphic period integral associated to the symmetric pairs defined by unitary groups over number fields, generalizing a theorem of Waldspurger's toric period for $\mathrm{GL}(2)$. We introduce a…
In this paper we give quantitative local test vectors for Waldspurger's period integral (i.e., a toric period on $\text{GL}_2$) in new cases with joint ramifications. The construction involves minimal vectors, rather than newforms and their…
We establish several formulas relating periods of modular forms on quaternion algebras over number fields to special values of L-functions. Our main inputs are the cohomological techniques for working with periods introduced in [Mol21],…
Waldspurger's formula gives an identity between the norm of a torus period and an L-function of the twist of an automorphic representation on GL(2). For any two Hecke characters of a fixed quadratic extension, one can consider the two torus…
In this paper we extend the calculation of the geometric Waldspurger periods from our paper math/0510110 to the case of ramified coverings. We give some applications to the study of Whittaker coefficients of the theta-lifting of automorphic…
This is a report for the author's talk in ICM-2018. Motivated by the formulas of Gross--Zagier and Waldspurger, we review conjectures and theorems on automorphic period integrals, special cycles on Shimura varieties, and their connection to…
We elaborate an explicit version of the relative trace formula on $\PGL(2)$ over a totally real number field for the toral periods of Hilbert cusp forms along the diagonal split torus. As an application, we prove (i) a spectral…
For the group G = PGL(2) we prove nonstandard matching and the fundamental lemma between two relative trace formulas: on one hand, the relative trace formula of Jacquet for the quotient T\G/T, where T is a nontrivial torus; on the other,…
We give a new integral representation of the $\wedge^2 \otimes \mathrm{std}_2$ $L$-function of generic cusp forms on $\mathbf{GL}_4 \times \mathbf{GL}_2$ and $\mathbf{GU}_{2,2}\times \mathbf{GL}_2$. In the former case, we use it to prove a…
In this article, we study $p$-adic torus periods for certain $p$-adic valued functions on Shimura curves coming from classical origin. We prove a $p$-adic Waldspurger formula for these periods, generalizing the recent work of Bertolini,…
In this article, we prove an explicit Waldspurger formula for the toric Hilbert modular forms. As an application, we construct a class of anticyclotomic p-adic Rankin-Selberg L-functions for Hilbert modular forms, generalizing the…
In this paper, we consider the $\SL(2)$ analogue of two well-known theorems about period integrals of automorphic forms on $\GL(2)$: one due to Harder-Langlands-Rapoport, and the other due to Waldspurger.
We prove a generalization to the totally real field case of the Waldspurger's formula relating the Fourier coefficient of a half integral weight form and the central value of the L-function of an integral weight form. Our proof is based on…
