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…

The trace formula constitutes a fundamental tool in the Langlands program. In general, Arthur introduced a truncation operator to render both the geometric and spectral sides of the formula convergent. This paper focuses on the case of…

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.

This paper initiates the study by analytic methods of the generalized principal series Maass forms on $GL(3)$. These forms occur as an infinite sequence of one-parameter families in the two-parameter spectrum of $GL(3)$ Maass forms,…

We unconditionally construct cyclotomic p-adic L-functions for Rankin-Selberg convolutions for GL(n+1) x GL(n) over arbitrary number fields, and show that they satisfy an expected functional equation.

The conjectural newform theory for generic representations of $p$-adic ${\rm SO}_{2n+1}$ was formulated by P.-Y. Tsai in her thesis in which Tsai also verified the conjecture when the representations are supercuspidal. The main purpose of…

We express the discrete noncuspidal terms in the spectral side of the trace formula for GL(2) in terms of orbital integrals, obtaining a geometric expansion for the cuspidal part of the trace formula. Assuming the Ramanujan conjecture for…

This paper begins a new approach to the $r$-trace formula, without removing the nontempered contribution to the spectral side. We first establish an invariant trace formula whose discrete spectral terms are weighted by automorphic…

Let $G$ be a connected quasi-split reductive group over $\mathbb{R}$, and more generally, a quasi-split $K$-group over $\mathbb{R}$. Arthur had obtained the formal formula for the spectral side of the stable local trace formula, by using…

We generalize Bonahon-Wong's $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$-quantum trace map to the setting of $\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{C})$. More precisely, given a non-zero complex parameter $q=e^{2 \pi i \hbar}$, we associate to each isotopy class of framed…

We use the relative trace formula to obtain exact formulas for central values of certain twisted quadratic base change L-functions averaged over Hilbert modular forms of a fixed weight and level. We apply these formulas to the subconvexity…

Let $f$ and $g$ be two holomorphic or Hecke-Maass primitive cusp forms for $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ and $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character of modulus $p$, an odd prime. A subconvex bound for the central values of the Rankin-Selberg…

These lecture notes provide a basic introduction to Selberg's trace formula. We discuss the simplest possible case: the spectrum of the Laplacian on a compact Riemannian surface of constant negative curvature. (To appear in Springer LNP.)

\begin{abstract} In this article, we will get non-trivial estimates for the central values of degree six Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions $L(1/2+it, \pi \times f)$ associated with a ${GL(3)}$ form $\pi$ and a ${GL(2)} $ form $f$ using the delta…

We obtain density theorems for cuspidal automorphic representations of $\text{GL}_n$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ which fail the generalized Ramanujan conjecture at some place. We depart from previous approaches based on Kuznetsov-type trace formulae,…

We study graph-theoretic properties of the trace of a random walk on a random graph. We show that for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists $C>1$ such that the trace of the simple random walk of length $(1+\varepsilon)n\ln{n}$ on the random…

We prove an explicit integral representation -- involving the pullback of a suitable Siegel Eisenstein series -- for the twisted standard $L$-function associated to a holomorphic vector-valued Siegel cusp form of degree $n$ and arbitrary…

The purpose of this note is to announce the results of our investigation into the role played by the continuous spectrum in the development of the Selberg trace formula vis-\`a-vis a pair $(G,\Gamma)$. For the sake of simplicity, we shall…

We prove that the coefficients of a $\mathrm{GL}_3\times \mathrm{GL}_2$ Rankin--Selberg $L$-function do not correlate with a wide class of trace functions of small conductor modulo primes, generalizing the corresponding result \cite{FKM1}…

A well-known principle states that a congruence between objects should give rise to a corresponding congruence between the special values of $L$-functions attached to these objects. We computationally investigate this principle for…
