The analytic properties of automorphic L-functions have historically been obtained either through integral representations (the "Rankin-Selberg method"), or properties of the Fourier expansions of Eisenstein series (the "Langlands-Shahidi…

This paper describes our method of pairing automorphic distributions. This represents a third technique for obtaining the analytic properties of automorphic L-functions, in addition to the existing methods of integral representations…

$L$-functions can be viewed axiomatically, such as in the formulation due to Selberg, or they can be seen as arising from cuspidal automorphic representations of $\textrm{GL}(n)$, as first described by Langlands. Conjecturally these two…

Wiles' work on Fermat's last Theorem highlighted the power of $p$-adic methods to prove the existence of analytic continuations of $\zeta$ and $L$ functions. These methods have become considerably more sophisticated in recent years, and…

With respect to the analytic-algebraic dichotomy, the theory of Siegel modular forms of half-integral weight is lopsided; the analytic theory is strong whereas the algebraic lags behind. In this paper, we capitalise on this to establish the…

In his paper "Beyond Endoscopy," Langlands tries to understand functoriality via poles of L-functions. The following paper further investigates the analytic continuation of a L-function associated to a $GL_2$ automorphic form through the…

This paper continues a series of investigations on converging representations for the Riemann Zeta function. We generalize some identities which involve Riemann's zeta function, and moreover we give new series and integrals for the zeta…

We define an axiomatic class of L-functions extending the Selberg class. We show in particular that one can recast the traditional conditions of an Euler product, analytic continuation and functional equation in terms of distributional…

On the one hand the Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein functions have been extended in such a way that they are closely related to the Riemann and other zeta functions. On the other hand the Fourier transform representation of the gamma and…

There has been a recent coming together of the Converse Theorem for $\gln$ and the Langlands-Shahidi method of controlling the analytic properties of automorphic $L$-functions which has allowed us to establish a number of new cases of…

A formal description of a functional analysis approach to the Riemann zeta-functional equation that provides in principle an infinity of different proofs based on work by the author on the existence of dilation-invariant unitary operators…

We build on a recent paper on Fourier expansions for the Riemann zeta function. We establish Fourier expansions for certain $L$-functions, and offer series representations involving the Whittaker function $W_{\gamma,\mu}(z)$ for the…

This is a report on the global aspects of the Langlands-Shahidi method which in conjunction with converse theorems of Cogdell and Piatetski-Shapiro has recently been instrumental in establishing a significant number of new and surprising…

This paper provides an introduction to Eisenstein measures, a powerful tool for constructing certain $p$-adic $L$-functions. First seen in Serre's realization of $p$-adic Dedekind zeta functions associated to totally real fields, Eisenstein…

Many important analytic statements about automorphic forms, such as the analytic continuation of certain L-functions, rely on the well-known rapid decay of K-finite cusp forms on Siegel sets. We extend this here to prove a more general…

The Fourier coefficients of the Siegel-Eisenstein series are p-adically continued for all primes p, as meromorphic functions, using the reciprocal of a product of L-functions. A construction of p-adic meromorphic families of such series is…

This is an expanded version of the author's lecture at the XX Congresso U.M.I., held in Siena in September 2015. After a brief review of L-functions, we turn to the classical converse theorems of H.Hamburger, E.Hecke and A.Weil, and to some…

In this paper, we construct a family of generalized $L$-functions, one for each point $z$ in the upper half-plane. We prove that as $z$ approaches $i\infty$, these generalized $L$-functions converge to an $L$-function which can be written…

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…

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…
