Automorphic Representations and Number Theory *

چکیده
An excellent introduction to the theory of automorphic representations and the relations with number theory is the Corvallis proceedings, Automorphic Forms, Representations and L-Functions, Parts 1 and 2, Proc. Sympos. Pure Math., vol. 33, 1979. Although composed mainly of survey articles, the proceedings are already rather formidable. They are a measure of the breadth of the field. They will be most useful to mathematicians who are already experts in some branch of the subject. Our purpose here is to give a modest introduction to the Corvallis proceedings. More precisely, our goal is to describe the Langlands functoriality conjecture, a mathematical insight of great beauty and simplicity. We will try to show both why it is a compelling question, and how it arose historically from Langlands' work on Eisenstein series. We hope that mathematicians from diverse or at least neighboring fields will find these notes accessible and will be encouraged to read other survey articles [2], [6], or to plunge directly into the Corvallis proceedings. * Lectures given at the Canadian Mathematical Society Summer Seminar, Harmonic Analysis, McGill University, Aug. 4-22, 1980.

On tensor product $L$-functions and Langlands functoriality
In the spirit of the Langlands proposal on Beyond Endoscopy we discuss the explicit relation between the Langlands functorial transfers and automorphic $L$-functions. It is well-known that the poles of the $L$-functions have deep impact to the Langlands functoriality. Our discussion also includes the meaning of the central value of the tensor product $L$-functions in terms of the Langl...

متن کاملL Functions for the Group
The method of L functions is one of the major methods for analyzing automorphic forms. For example, the Hecke Converse Theorem gives an equivalence via the Mellin transform between holomorphic modular forms on the upper half plane and certain L functions associated to Dirichlet series, which have analytic continuation and functional equation. The classical theory of automorphic forms on the gro...
متن کاملThe Problem of Classifying Automorphic Representations of Classical Groups
In this article we shall give an elementary introduction to an important problem in representation theory. The problem is to relate the automorphic representations of classical groups to those of the general linear group. Thanks to the work of a number of people over the past twenty-five years, the automorphic representation theory of GL(n) is in pretty good shape. The theory for GL(n) now incl...
