According to Waldspurger's theorem, the coefficients of half-integral weight eigenforms are given by central critical values of twisted Hecke L-functions, and therefore by periods. Here we prove that the coefficients of weight 1/2 harmonic…

Consider the infinite dimensional hyperbolic dynamical system provided by the (forward) heat semi-flow on the loop space of a closed Riemannian manifold M. We use the recently discovered backward {\lambda}-Lemma and elements of Conley…

Let O^1 be a (cocompact) Fuchsian group, given as the group of units of norm one in a maximal order O in an indefinite quaternion division algebra over Q. Using the (classical) Selberg trace formula, we show that the eigenvalues of the…

We obtain a first moment formula for Rankin-Selberg convolution $L$-series of holomorphic modular forms or Maass forms of arbitrary level on $GL(2)$, with an orthonormal basis of Maass forms. One consequence is the best result to date,…

The classical Maass Spezialschar is a Hecke-stable subspace of the level one holomorphic Siegel modular forms of genus two cut out by certain linear relations between their Fourier coefficients. We define an analogous quaternionic Maass…

We present examples of Maass forms on Hecke congruence groups, giving low eigenvalues on $\Gamma_0(p)$ for small prime $p$, and the first 1000 eigenvalues for $\Gamma_0(11)$. We also present calculations of the $L$-functions associated to…

Maass forms for $SL(n,\mathbb{Z})$ are defined to be eigenfunctions of the Casimir operators $\mathcal{D}_{m,n}$ of orders $1 \leq m \leq n$ for $GL(n,\mathbb{R})$. For any $1 \leq m \leq n$ and Maass form $\phi$ for $SL(n,\mathbb{Z})$, we…

Let F be a square integrable Maass form on the Siegel upper half space of rank 2 for the Siegel modular group Sp(4, Z) with Laplace eigenvalue lambda. If, in addition, F is a joint eigenfunction of the Hecke algebra, we show a power-saving…

We prove the Ramanujan-Petersson conjecture for Maass forms of the group $SL(2,Z)$, with the help of automorphic distribution theory and pseudodifferential analysis. The first notion is an alternative to classical automorphic function…

We continue the analysis of modular invariant functions, subject to inhomogeneous Laplace eigenvalue equations, that were determined in terms of Poincar\'e series in a companion paper. The source term of the Laplace equation is a product of…

In this paper, we study the Mellin transform of the weight 2 level $N$ polar harmonic Maass form $H_{N,z}^*(\tau)$, and analyze this (generalized) $L$-function as $\mathrm{Im}(z)\to \infty$. On the way, we also calculate the Fourier…

Let $f$ be a primitive Maass cusp form for a congruence subgroup $\Gamma_0(D) \subset $ SL($2,\mathbb{Z}$) and $\lambda_f(n)$ its $n$-th Fourier coefficient. In this paper it is shown that with knowledge of only finitely many $\lambda_f(n)$…

We study a class of meromorphic modular forms characterised by Fourier coefficients that satisfy certain divisibility properties. We present new candidates for these so-called magnetic modular forms, and we conjecture properties that these…

Borcherds-Zagier bases of the spaces of weakly holomorphic modular forms of weights 1/2 and 3/2 share the Fourier coefficients which are traces of singular moduli. Recently, Duke, Imamo\={g}lu, and T\'{o}th have constructed a basis of the…

We describe a practical method for finding an L-function without first finding the associated underlying object. The procedure involves using the Euler product and the approximate functional equation in a new way. No use is made of the…

Let G be the group of points of a quasi-split reductive algebraic group over a local field F. It follows from the local Langlands conjectures that to every non-trivial additive character of F and every representation of the Langlands dual…

We define canonical real analytic versions of modular forms of integral weight for the full modular group, generalising real analytic Eisenstein series. They are harmonic Maass waveforms with poles at the cusp, whose Fourier coefficients…

We study the $1$- or $2$-level density of families of $L$-functions for Hecke--Maass forms over an imaginary quadratic field $F$. For test functions whose Fourier transform is supported in $\left(-\frac 32, \frac 32\right)$, we prove that…

We construct a natural basis for the space of weak harmonic Maass forms of weight 5/2 on the full modular group. The non-holomorphic part of the first element of this basis encodes the values of the ordinary partition function p(n). We…

We generalize the notions of locally and polar harmonic Maass forms to general orthogonal groups of signature $(2, n)$ with singularities along real analytic and algebraic cycles. We prove a current equation for locally harmonic Maass forms…
