For an even positive integer $n$, we study rank-one Eisenstein cohomology of the split orthogonal group ${\rm O}(2n+2)$ over a totally real number field $F.$ This is used to prove a rationality result for the ratios of successive critical…

The aim of this article is to study rank-one Eisenstein cohomology for the group GL(N)/F, where F is a totally real field extension of Q. This is then used to prove rationality results for ratios of successive critical values for…

Rationality results are proved for the ratios of critical values of Rankin-Selberg L-functions of GL(n) x GL(n') over a totally imaginary field F, by studying rank-one Eisenstein cohomology for the group GL(N)/F, where N = n+n',…

The present paper is devoted to the relations between Deligne's conjecture on critical values of motivic $L$-functions and the multiplicative relations between periods of arithmetically normalized automorphic forms on unitary groups. In the…

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. In this article, using the machinery of Eisenstein…

This is a survey of recent work on values of Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions of pairs of cohomological automorphic representations that are {\it critical} in Deligne's sense. The base field is assumed to be a CM field. Deligne's conjecture is…

We prove explicit rationality-results for Asai- $L$-functions, $L^S(s,\Pi',{\rm As}^\pm)$, and Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions, $L^S(s,\Pi\times\Pi')$, over arbitrary CM-fields $F$, relating critical values to explicit powers of $(2\pi i)$.…

We prove an algebraicity result for the central critical value of certain Rankin-Selberg L-functions for GL(n) x GL(n-1). This is a generalization and refinement of some results of Harder, Kazhdan-Mazur-Schmidt, Mahnkopf, and…

This is an announcement of results on rank-one Eisenstein cohomology of GL(N), with N > 1 an odd integer, and algebraicity theorems for ratios of successive critical values of certain Rankin-Selberg L-functions for GL(n) x GL(n') when n is…

We study the automorphic period associated to a $G$-Hamiltonian variety $M$ whose dual is $\check{M} = T^*(\check{G}/\check{L})$, where $\check{G}$ is a general linear group and $\check{L}$ is a Levi subgroup. For certain cuspidal…

In this paper, we prove Deligne's conjecture on the algebraicity of critical values of symmetric power $L$-functions associated to modular forms of weight greater than four. We also prove new cases of Blasius' conjecture on the algebraicity…

This is an announcement of certain rationality results for the critical values of the degree-2n L-functions attached to GL(1) $\times$ SO(n, n) over $\mathbb Q$ for an even positive integer n. The proof follows from studying the rank-one…

Deligne has formulated extremely influential conjectures about certain special values of the $L$-functions of (Grothendieck) motives over a number field $F$. Given the conjectural dictionary between motives and 'algebraic' automorphic…

Using the relations between rational functions and Eisenstein series, as well as the inferences for cotangent sums and period polynomials, we work out a precise description for Eisenstein series whose $L$-series vanish at certain critical…

By studying an explicit form of the Eichler--Shimura map for ${\rm GL}_3$, we describe a precise relation between critical values of the complete $L$-function for the Rankin--Selberg convolution ${\rm GL}_3 \times {\rm GL}_2$ and the…

Chapter $7$ of Langlands' monograph "On the functional equations satisfied by Eisenstein series" employs a sophisticated residue scheme to construct a portion of the discrete automorphic spectrum. We show, by examples, applications, and…

In this paper we give a proof of Deligne's conjecture on the critical values of $L$-functions for arbitrary algebraic Hecke characters. This extends a result of Blasius, which only works in the case of CM fields. The key new insight is that…

If one proposes to use the theory of Eisenstein cohomology to prove algebraicity results for the special values of automorphic L-functions as in my work with Harder for Rankin-Selberg L-functions, or its generalizations as in my work with…

We study the arithmetic of Eisenstein cohomology classes (in the sense of G. Harder) for symmetric spaces associated to GL_2 over imaginary quadratic fields. We prove in many cases a lower bound on their denominator in terms of a special…
