Dirichlet series and automorphic forms on unitary groups

Dirichlet series from automorphic forms

This integral trick assumes greater significance when the function f is known to have strong decay properties both at 0 and at ∞, since then the Mellin transform is entire in s. One way to ensure such rapid decay is via eigenfunction properties in the context of automorphic forms. [2] • The archetype Mellin transform: zeta from theta • Abstracting to holomorphic modular forms • Variation: wavef...

Multiple Dirichlet Series and Automorphic Forms

This article gives an introduction to the multiple Dirichlet series arising from sums of twisted automorphic L-functions. We begin by explaining how such series arise from Rankin-Selberg constructions. Then more recent work, using Hartogs’ continuation principle as extended by Bochner in place of such constructions, is described. Applications to the nonvanishing of Lfunctions and to other probl...

Toroidal Automorphic Forms, Waldspurger Periods and Double Dirichlet Series

The space of toroidal automorphic forms was introduced by Zagier in the 1970s: a GL2-automorphic form is toroidal if it has vanishing constant Fourier coefficients along all embedded non-split tori. The interest in this space stems (amongst others) from the fact that an Eisenstein series of weight s is toroidal for a given torus precisely if s is a non-trivial zero of the zeta function of the q...

Explicit Calculations of Automorphic Forms for Definite Unitary Groups

I give an algorithm for computing the full space of automorphic forms for definite unitary groups over Q, and apply this to calculate the automorphic forms of level G(Ẑ) and various small weights for an example of a rank 3 unitary group. This leads to some examples of various types of endoscopic lifting from automorphic forms for U1 × U1 × U1 and U1 × U2, and to an example of a non-endoscopic f...
