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…

We present a pairing of automorphic distributions that applies in situations where a Lie group acts with an open orbit on a product of generalized flag varieties. The pairing gives meaning to an integral of products of automorphic…

In recent years L-functions and their analytic properties have assumed a central role in number theory and automorphic forms. In this expository article, we describe the two major methods for proving the analytic continuation and functional…

The Rankin-Selberg method for studying Langlands' automorphic $L$-functions is to find integral representations, involving certain Fourier coefficients of cusp forms and Eisenstein series, for these functions. In this thesis we develop the…

We give a two-variable Rankin--Selberg integral for generic cusp forms on $\mathrm{PGL}_4$ and $\mathrm{PGU}_{2,2}$ which represents a product of exterior square $L$-functions. As a residue of our integral, we obtain an integral…

Let L^S(\pi,s,st) be a partial L-function of degree 7 of a cuspidal automorphic representation \pi of the exceptional group G_2. Here we construct a Rankin-Selberg integral for representations having certain Fourier coefficient.

By the unfolding method, Rankin-Selberg L-functions for ${\rm GL}(n)\times{\rm GL}(m)$ can be expressed in terms of period integrals. These period integrals actually define invariant forms on tensor products of the relevant automorphic…

This paper is third in a series of three, following "Summation Formulas, from Poisson and Voronoi to the Present" (math.NT/0304187) and "Distributions and Analytic Continuation of Dirichlet Series" (math.FA/0403030). The first is primarily…

We derive integral representations for the Rankin-Selberg L-functions on GL(3) x GL(1) and GL(3) x GL(2) by a process of unipotent averaging at archimedean places. A key feature of our result is that it allows one to fix the choice of test…

We give a proof of the existence of Asai, exterior square, and symmetric square local $L$-functions, $\gamma$-factors and root numbers in characteristic $p$, including the case of $p = 2$. Our study is made possible by developing the…

If C is a smooth projective curve over a number field k, then, under fair hypotheses, its L-function admits meromorphic continuation and satisfies the anticipated functional equation if and only if a related function is X-mean-periodic for…

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…

We propose a geometric interpretation of the classical Rankin-Selberg method for GL(n) in the framework of the geometric Langlands program. We show that the geometric Langlands conjecture for an irreducible unramified local system $E$ of…

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…

We prove Siegel-Walfisz type theorems (over long and short intervals) for the Fourier coefficients of certain automorphic $L$-functions and Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions over number fields.

Automorphic representations can be studied in terms of the embeddings of abstract models of representations into spaces of functions on Lie groups that are invariant under discrete subgroups. In this paper we describe an adelic framework to…

In this work we use the Rankin-Selberg method to obtain results on the analytic properties of the standard $L$-function attached to vector valued Siegel modular forms. In particular we provide a detailed description of its possible poles…

In this paper, we solve the Rankin--Selberg problem. That is, we break the well known Rankin--Selberg's bound on the error term of the second moment of Fourier coefficients of a $\mathrm{GL}(2)$ cusp form (both holomorphic and Maass), which…

We give a construction of a wide class of modular symbols attached to reductive groups. As an application we construct a p-adic distribution interpolating the special values of the twisted Rankin-Selberg L-function attached to cuspidal…

We prove several results on the distribution of values of $L$-functions at the edge of the critical strip, by constructing and studying a large class of random Euler products. Among new applications, we study families of symmetric power…
